Hi John, :-) Thank you for the very kind words. And great thanks, too, for the support you've offered to TDF and the LibreOffice project. :-) As regards any apology, well, anyone who puts forward a controversial idea in an Open Source project had better be thick-skinned, and had better be ready with good arguments! I know how these things go, so no worries there. ;-) Also, in the LibO list thread, Thorsten did examine both sides of the issue, so I can't fault his constructive discussion, even though I'm aware that - on balance - he doesn't support the idea I'm advancing. I'm not sure what the ultimate decision will be regarding a logo/mascot contest. But I am certain that it was a very positive thing to have established contact between TDF/LibO and Ubuntu - both for LibO and as a general initiative between FOSS projects. I'm sure this is just the start of what will turn out to be a longstanding communication and collaboration. So a big thanks to you, John, for having been so receptive, positive and proactively helpful about it.

[ubuntu-art] LibreOffice project: request for contributors and mentoring
Hi, :-) I'm a member of the LibreOffice community. LibreOffice (LibO) is the office suite project of The Document Foundation (TDF), the community-driven organization that recently forked from the Oracle-managed OpenOffice.org project. TDF/LibO is currently working on its branding and on its artwork for the LibreOffice distribution. We are currently very short of GRAPHIC ARTISTS. Notably, right now, we urgently need creative talent to help us design artwork for our websites. We need to develop a logo, and - hopefully - a MASCOT along the lines of Linux's Tux, to act as a living ambassador that achieves lasting recognition of our brand and products in people's minds. But we also need talent to work on icon sets and other artwork on an ongoing basis. A number of Linux distributions have announced their intention to ship LibreOffice with their future releases. We know that they frequently do re-branding work to integrate their chosen office suite in lines with their project's thinking. So we are keen to involve you in our project branding and development, so that we ship releases that better fit your needs. LibreOffice and The Document Foundation could also benefit from MENTORING and from close and ongoing involvement from established Linux projects, especially in these early days when we are developing our infrastructure and organization. Like you, we passionately value and believe in Free Open Source software (FOSS). We very much ask you to get involved in our project and influence our development. We seek your comments and advice and contributions. For this, below you will find a number of links as a starting point: LibreOffice marketing mailing list: marketing+subscr...@libreoffice.org The Document Foundation general discussions mailing list: discuss+subscr...@documentfoundation.org LibreOffice developers mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice TDF steering committee discussions mailing list: steering-discuss+subscr...@documentfoundation.org LibreOffice user support mailing list: users+subscr...@libreoffice.org Our Nabble gateway for easy mailing list browsing: http://www.documentfoundation.org/nabble/ The Document Foundation contacts page: http://www.documentfoundation.org/contact/ Mail address distributing to all TDF press and media contacts: i...@documentfoundation.org LibreOffice dedicated IRC channel: #libreoffice at irc.freenode.net TDF dedicated IRC channel: #documentfoundation at irc.freenode.net Follow TDF via @docufoundation on Twitter: http://twitter.com/docufoundation Follow TDF via @docufoundation on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/docufoundation Visit the TDF website: http://www.documentfoundation.org And, of course, if necessary, you can contact me, too, at the address from which this mail was sent, or via this mailing list.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Boot Experience in Karmic
As for boot animation, I recommend something ridiculously simple, eg. a logo and a throbber, maybe with a non-black background colour (dark grey?) to spruce things up and show off the awesome. Remember that we're aiming for a really, really quick boot. That means complex animations will not be very visible (and look tacky, anyway). Also remember that this is a still one of MANY screens, again heightening the silliness of a noisy graphic. I created and uploaded an animated gif from you reply.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Mandating usage of free tools.
First off i am not saying it should be free in every sense of the word, that would be chaos. Structure is good,and also i don't think anyone feels forced to contribute artwork to Ubuntu. We are all here by choice, because we choose Ubuntu out of the hundreds of Linux distros to apply our individual talents to in an effort to shape the feature. Ubuntu with the tag line Linux for Human beings is made by people for people. Not just people of one race or people of one religion, not just people who use gimp and not photoshop or photoshop and not gimp. By decrementing against people who want to use one type of software as, in essence nothing more than an interface to convert there vision into something tangible. It seams to me, would just alienate people who are great artists with great vision but are set in there ways. art after all really has nothing to do with what brush you use, and everything to do with the people making and seeing it. i digress and my only real after thought to this is if we keep up this discussion which seems to be practice a lot of circular logic we will never get anything done On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 1:36 AM, Thorsten Wilms t...@freenet.de wrote: On Sat, 2009-04-11 at 22:01 -0700, David Holland wrote: Well i guess the question is What does ubuntu stand for ?

I was thinking, perhaps a man (somthing like: http://www.myneth.com/assets/imgs/manOutline.gif ) with a bright colored tie. But the three new icons are absolutely killer.

Frankly I find any operating system that doesn't support alt+click moving windows (and alt+middleclick resizing) to be extremely annoying. With regards to the original point one... do the inactive window frames have to be transparent? I know they don't in Emerald, but does Metacity force it? If it doesn't, I think we should just leave it off. Being able to alt+scroll to change window transparency is far more useful than transparent window titles. Transparent window decorations doesn't really add anything to the usefulness of the theme, and unless done well probably shouldn't be done at all.

Plus it goes with anything. When I do web design I try to add color to everything but what absolutely must be readable (with exceptions, of course). There will be colors in the header, the background for the main page, images, etc. When it comes to the content it's usually non exciting. Black on white, or vice versa... or even just shades of gray. I think we should try to get our colors into places that they can be without having to worry about stuff. The orange and brown could be dealt with primarily in the wallpaper, panels, emerald/metacity theme, and icons. The GTK part should be as boring as possible to an extent, so as to make it as readable as possible. One of the best things about Ubuntu is choice. There have been a lot of excellet ideas thrown out here like Kith, Kin, this theme, and many more (sorry for not mentioning them all by name). The default theme though should be something that is acceptable to everyone. I'd love to see a somewhat boring(ish) default theme, with themes like Kith, Kin, UbuntuStudio (whatever they're doing), Blubuntu, etc. in the appearance menu. If we removed a few screensavers, we could add quite a few themes and wallpaers.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Whats Up with This?
If we go orange again, I think that Kith Intrepid is probably the best one out there. The only trouble is that it might be a bit loud for some people. I personally love it, and have been using a setup very close to it on my own computer. If something like this could be coded in such a way as to allow the user to change colors at will (effecting the panels, gtk theme, and emerald theme), I think this could really be the best option. I'd suggest using Murrine as it seems to be the most customizable (though I'm no expert), and it will support ARGB for future releases (or this one if it proves stable). I think the best thing about this is its originality. There is no other operating system that looks anything like this, but it's still extremely usable.
