[ubuntu-studio-devel] Art Team

[C. F. Howlett]

Greetings Art Team et al:


I would like to test something prior to launching the 17.04 wallpaper 
contest: submitting visual content to the Ubuntu Studio Facebook group 
page.  I believe this would be more efficient and effective than the 
somewhat convoluted method we used last time.


The test format case is

1. enable FB submissions via email

2. enable mirroring FB updates to the US Twitter account

2. Announce and publicize an Ubuntu Studio Happy Holidays wallpaper sprint

3. Accept content for the sprint.

5. Evaluate pros & cons of this method.


*** I'm pretty sure we can set things so that emailed submissions are 
held pending approval.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Art Team! 10th Birthday Wallpaper Contest

[C. F. Howlett]

Hey UbuntuStudio:

I'm preparing to run a wallpaper contest for the 10th Year of Ubuntu 
Studio (17.04 for those who were unaware).


I learned some valuable lessons from the 16.04 contest so this time will 
be a bit different in the hopes of yielding some truly outstanding 
results.  Please review the draft announcement below and provide feedback.

Digital Artist Call
Ubuntu Studio 17.04 Wallpapers

Would you like YOUR artwork to be prominently featured on millions of 
desktops?  Yes?  Read on!

With the forthcoming 17.04 release, Ubuntu Studio, the Linux for 
Creative Humans, celebrates Ten (!) years of life!  We ask your help to 
polish the look and feel of our favorite OS.  Over the next few months, 
we will call on your brains and creative impulses.  Here’s one way YOU 
can add your own special flair; create, design and submit a 
custom-designed US desktop wallpaper!

General Guidelines

Only ORIGINAL art will be considered – no derivatives
NO photographs!  (But photo-realistic creations are acceptable.)
Art must be created in open-source software, e.g. those included Ubuntu 
Studio.
Submissions must include source files.
One or more of the general work-flow elements (audio, graphics, video) 
must be incorporated in the design.  Liliu Hua, an UbuntuKylin artist, 
did this quite elegantly.  Zoom in to see the magic. [url filtered] Look 
closely.
Only ONE submission per artist.

Ten wallpapers will be selected and packaged for 17.04.  The submission 
deadline is February 28th, 2017.

Additional technical specifications can be found on the Art Team wiki.

You can view previous contributions at the Ubuntu Studio Flickr 
collection. [url filtered]

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Ghost mode ...

[C. F. Howlett]

I know I have been very quiet of late.  My Dell M3800 Developer Edition 
crashed.  Getting support in a new country,  Japan, has proven a bitoif a 
challenge.  As my need  was immediate, I was "forced" to acquire a new device.  
Now coming at you live from a Mac Air with Ubuntu in virtual box mode!

[ubuntu-studio-devel] ART TEAM ALERT! 16.04 Wallpaper Contest has been decided.

[C. F. Howlett]

*** READ ME 

16.04 Wallpaper Contest Winners

This is the completed list of 16.04 Wallpapers as per the public vote
conducted 02/11/16 - 02/15/16.  Final outcome is documented at the
Condorcet voting link.


NOTE 1: Adam Tuba had two winning entries; Wallpaper1 and Wallpaper1B. 
These entries are virtually identical and are distinguishable by their
creation process rather than final product.  Rather than having
identical pieces in the collection, I have eliminated the less popular
Wallpaper1B.  This bumped the number 17 entry to number 16, thus
KBambardekar_BeetleBrot joins the winning entries.


NOTE 2:

*** Naming Convention Explained ***

Some wallpapers were re-labeled to distinguish them from similarly named
pieces or to give a more meaningful name.  In all cases, wallpaper names
reflect the following naming convention:

Ubuntu Studio release number image is initially published to, e.g. 16.04

Image Name by Artist or Packager, e.g. Moonrise Hernandez New Mexico 

Artist Name, e.g. Ansel Adams

Example: 1604_MoonriseHernandezNM_AnselAdams.png

*** 16.04 Wallpapers ***

ART TEAM NOTE: Hotwheel, by Lui Li Hua was in the top 3 throughout this
election cycle and was #1 in the final tally.  Absent objections or
suggestions, I assign Hotwheel as the default wallpaper for the 16.04
release.  As we are trying to beat feature freeze, please advise post
haste if this is unacceptable.

I will send out public notice of these results on 02/18/16.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Community Wallpapers Clarification

[C. F. Howlett]

Yes, this would indeed a secondary, uninstalled and completely optional
package.  Therefore it can be packaged at any time.  Let's focus on the
16.04 release wallpaper packaging and offer this community package later.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] 16.04 Wallpaper Packaging

[C. F. Howlett]

Thank you, Ross!

I justed looked in the same package, and I *partially* understand what
is happening there.  Glad you're on-board!

As soon as I tally the votes, I will send you the list with creator
names.  I take it I should also send the wallpapers themselves?  And
does I understand correctly that this will ultimately land on
launchpad?  So many questions, but as I stated, this is all new to me.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper Packaging Help Request

[C. F. Howlett]

Greetings Art Team et al:

CALL TO ACTION:

As you may recall, Set and I have been coordinating the Xenial Xerus
Wallpaper Contest.  Voting begins 02/11/16 and concludes 02/15/16 with
final results publicized 02/18/16, i.e. Feature Freeze.

There are many moving pieces that must be correctly aligned to package
and submit the wallpapers before the impending Feature Freeze deadline. 
I have no experience and little time to get up to speed with Ubuntu
packaging, so I request assistance to pre-stage and prepare.  Ideally,
we can "simply" drop in the documenation and source wallpapers to create
a completed .deb package.

As I understand it, the 14 pre-existing wallpapers should already be
fully documented and sourced.  The incoming wallpapers must be
documented, sourced and packaged in advance of Feature Freeze.  (Please
forgive the tight timeframe - inspiration for this effort came upon me
without regard to the release schedule.)  I believe I am up to
documenting the wallpapers if someone can guide me but it would probably
be best if I hand the information off to an experienced packager!  

NOTE:  

The Art Team must select a default wallpaper!  If I may be pre-emptive,
I heartily nominate Hotwheel from Li Hua Liu of the Ubuntu-Kylin team.  
It's hot!  It's cool!  It's distinctive!  It's creative!  It's Ubuntu
Studio!  See for yourself: h t t p s ://flic.kr/p/CMaK5W

PROPOSAL:

Package all wallpapers that are not selected.  This gives all the
contributors a "win" and I have seen other *buntus do this.  Perhaps
something like "UbuntuStudioXXCommunityWallpapers"?

HUMBLEBRAG:

The Ubuntu 16.04 Free Culture Showcase launched on 12/16/15.  At the
moment, this group has 26 entries.  The Ubuntu Studio 16.04 Wallpaper
Contest launched 01/09/16 and has 69 entries as of this writing.  The
level of user interest in our comparatively obscure Ubuntu derivative
suggests that there is a receptive audience.  I submit that we can and
should find more ways to leverage this interest to raise awareness of
Ubuntu Studio.  

Thank you to Set, Kaj, and all others, named and unnamed, who have
helped out with this project!

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper Contest PR

[C. F. Howlett]

I completely agree with Kaj.  My access to social media is virtually
nill and will remain so until at least next week.  I understand that Set
has been actively bouncing our message out on social media outlets.  I
have directed messages to the relevant mailing lists and /subreddits.

So far, this seems to be working.  We have much more User Contributed
Content on our Flickr page than even the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase so
we must be doing something right!

most beautiful, inspiring, innovative and downright slick desktop
wallpapers. Each artist may submit up to 4 pieces. The Ubuntustudio
community will vote on and select 16 final Ubuntustudio Wallpapers! (See
what we did there? 16? 4? Clever, eh?)

If you are enjoying Edubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Kylin, Ubuntu-Mate,
Ubuntu-Gnome, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Ubuntu-Server we formally

The size of the ubuntu-sounds tarball nearly filled my email account. It is the
bottom 25MB free tier as I would never pay for email nor have an account with
any ad-supported or PRISM-compliant provider. Please try to avoid sending
anything over 10MB to my email or I could lose other emails that would bounce.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Multimedia Workflow Documentation solution

[C. F. Howlett]

Hey All:

Klaatu produces SlackerMedia a multimedia spin of Slackware Linux. He 
has also published excellent multimedia tools and documentation 
<http://www.slackermedia.info/about/>.  I was especially impressed by 
his multimedia workflow graphics 
<http://www.slackermedia.info/workflows/>.  As per the correspondence 
below, Klaatu has explicitly offered these materials for our use!  As I 
understand it, Ubuntustudio currently lacks uniform, branded 
documentation. Klaatu's workflow graphics pack 
<http://www.slackermedia.info/downloads/workflows.tbz> could fill that 
need.  I suggest we review these materials with an eye toward adoption 
in Ubuntustudio.



 Forwarded Message 
Subject:Re: Multimedia Workflow Graphics licensing
Date:   Sun, 10 Jan 2016 08:41:07 +1300
From:   Klaatu <kla...@straightedgelinux.com>
To: C. F. Howlett <cfhowl...@hotmail.com>



I am shocked that I failed to make the licensing clear. Thanks for the
bug report :-)

The graphics, as with everything I do, can be licensed in one of two
ways: either CC-BY-SA v4.0 or as Gnu Free Documentation License (GFDL),
whichever fits easiest for you.

For Ubuntu, I don't really care about attribution (you're the good
guys); but if you give credit, then please give credit to "Klaatu at
Slackermedia.info"

If you need to change the licensing so it fits in better with your work
at Ubuntu Studio, let me know. I'm flexible.

Glad you like the graphics! if you need anything, let me know. I think
UbuntuStudio is amazing, and I'm happy to help.


PS:
If you're looking for more docs, checkout the Slackermedia Handbook
http://slackermedia.info/handbook

and also all articles in the Multimedia Makers column on OpenSource.com
https://opensource.com/tags/multimedia-makers-column

It's all CC-BY-SA / GFDL, so use whatever you want.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hi List,

I'm in the midst of producing a showcase for Ubuntu-Studio users
production to be published in a series of posts on ubuntustudio.org and
its social-media satellites. The idea is to let the public know what can
be accomplished with Ubuntu-Studio by showing, rather than telling.
Therefor the series will be focusing on_productions_  made using
Ubuntu-studio and the_creative human behind the productions_.

The term production here is very broad; it can be anything from poems,
to prints, websites, via video, music and coding.

I would like to interview as many of you as possible, but depending on
the volume of response, i might not have the time to feature you all and
will work in the chronological order i receive the emails. However,
production that is Not Safe For Work will be disregarded. The interviews
will be done by email, and will consist of 3 to 4 questions about You
and your production.

If you are interested in participating, please address me on
pub...@sakrecoer.com  and make sure you include links to your work in the
email.

*Do not send me attached files by email*.

Looking forward to see-, hear-, feel your work and to talk to you,

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wallpaper contest

[C. F. Howlett]

Yeah about that:

I have looked at the art work produced for the other derivatives, and I 
admit to a great deal of envy for ubuntukylin's design and prodigious 
output.


I am unconvinced that we are fully obligated to comply with Canonical 
Design requirements sole exception being logo use.  As it happens, I 
have the *official* ubuntustudio logos released by Ubuntu Design.  I 
would like to upload them to the bzr site, but I have yet to figure out 
the method.


As regards the photography rules, I suggest that as a dedicated OS for 
*art creation*, we have a wide discretion and latitude. I am not 
suggesting a photographic free-for-all, but I submit that imposing 
restraining rules on creative output is somewhat contradictory.


So: questions.  Do we / should we have a wiki page?  We have had a 
community art page in the past, but it seems to be defunct.  Should we 
resurrect it?

Hi,

I tried to reach out to design.canonical and design.ubuntu, but i get no
answer. I think we should rip the other contests guide-lines off.

Anyways, all relevant information we need is here:
http://design.canonical.com/
and here:
http://design.ubuntu.com/

We just need to adapt it to our own colors and CoF:)

I cleaned up the ubuntustudio-artwork branch, so make sure you cd into
your local ubuntustudio-artwork branch and do:
bzr pull (i think it is enough...?)

And let me know if something is wrong or a bad idea:)

Looking forward to read you,

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Proposal: Ubuntustudio 16.04 Wallpaper Contest

[C. F. Howlett]

Greetings All:

Assuming this is the correct place to post this ...

I downloaded UbuntuKylin 15.10 wallpapers .deb recently.  This distro 
first saw the light of day in 2013 and it now has 115 wallpapers!  By 
comparison, ubuntustudio has ... 14?


As the primary focus for development is being directed to the LTS 
releases, I suggest we consider a community wallpaper contest to 
supplement the official paper(s) to come.  We could invite contributions 
from all flavors of ubuntu as well as specific applications, e.g. 
Blender, Gimp and Krita.


In the past, the ubuntu community has hosted their wallpaper submissions 
on Flickr.  I believe we might do likewise.


Is anyone else working on this?  If not would anyone else be interested?

[ubuntu-studio-devel] New User Documentation

[C. F. Howlett]

I have had a project in mind for some time.

Ubuntu used to include GIMP.  On the desktop, there was a tutorial to 
introduce very basic GIMP functions in the form of a user-built Ubuntu 
logo image.  Cool stuff.  Sadly, removed in later releases. Likewise the 
old Ubuntu sample media folder.


So, to my project;

Target audience: "I just installed ubuntustudio.  Now what?" people

Format: a series of easy peasy, introductory tutorials using the major 
apps in the focus areas.  For instance:


SOUND > AUDACITY > Record your voice.  Sample and remove background 
noise.  Edit sound for  Darth Vader voice.  Save and export.


Upon completion of the project, supply at least one tutorial. 
Fortunately, the major apps already have basic tutorials.  We just need 
to highlight them.


Obviously, this is not the in-depth documentation currently under 
discussion in another channel, but I believe it fills a need and would 
give useful and welcome advice.


I'm not qualified to do all the tutorials, but I am willing to edit and 
standardize the writing.  Any interest???

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Wubi - nuke it from orbit

[C. F. Howlett]

As I understand it, wubi has not been supported, developed or upgraded for 
YEARS.  Moreover, wubi is known to conflict with Ubuntu 13.XX and newer.  So 
WHY is wubi not only present in the Ubuntu ecosystem, but actually packaged 
with Ubuntu .iso's?   

For the love of kittens, puppies and all that is good, please!  Delete, remove, 
de-install and purge wubi from Ubuntu flavors!  Confused and frustrated users 
will thank you.

   This makes sense, since if user needs to troubleshoot an Xfce4 issue,
   the user likely would send a request to xubuntu-us...@lists.ubuntu.com.
   The Xubuntu mailing list unlikely can provide good help for a Xubuntu
   version that is obsolet.
  
  
 
  This is not the kind of support we are talking about here. Only bug
  fixing, which is not happening much even from the Xubuntu team three
  years in a LTS release - if at all.
 
  And to holstein, please make an argument for why you object. Otherwise
  we have no idea what the reasons to your objections are.
 
 
 sure.. my objections are the same as the ones in this thread from other
 community members. i think it looks odd for us to offer a longer support
 for xfce than xubuntu, the flagship xfce distro which is our immediate
 upstream. i think they have a larger, more active support community that we
 do, and have decided to do 3 years, and i agree with the reasoning those
 members have presented for the 3 year support decision. i disagree with the
 arguments for the 5 year support. im a long term support release user
 exclusively on my production machine, and im not requesting a longer
 support term. is anyone? if we say 5 years, we need to be able to support
 that, and i am not of the expertise to personally help facilitate bug
 fixing. think of ubuntustudio 10.04 and what versions of jack and ardour
 are running there, and what user experience one would have in audio
 production vs running 14.04. why would we not just suggest users upgrade?
 for features and support sake..

 i'll stand behind whatever decision the community makes.. what is the plan
 for this decision? a proper meeting and a vote? a vote in a web service?
 are we going to hash it out here on the list?


 This is how I reason:
 
  * One person could handle bug fixing, in the remote possibility a
  serious bug would appear three years in a LTS release, which I am
  willing to do.
  * Five years is better than three, though not a big plus, and probably
  not something the majority of our users need.
  * XFCE releases are supported for a very short time by upstream (I was
  recently told), so this makes things a bit more difficult, but not
  impossible at all to fix a bug after three years support.
 
  In the light of a few more details I've learned, and the fact that five
  years support is not a big need for Ubuntu Studio, I'm changing my mind
  and am willing to go with the three years support period.
 
  So, unless someone has very compelling reasons not do so, I'll propose
  three years support for the 14.04 LTS release.
 
  Pragmatically speaking, we would have no problem doing five years
  support, but again, it's not a big win.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] DE Annoyances

[C. F. Howlett]

Make no mistake, I love that UbuntuStudio is finally getting some serious and 
long-deferred maintenance and development.

A minor annoyance perhaps; but can the next wallpaper NOT have barcodes?  When 
I think of creativity and freedom and open, the last thing on my mind is 
barcodes...

Just sayin'

Ubuntu Studio Oneiric Original Artist or Source Files?

Official Oneirichttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/OfficialOneiric

During the run up to Oneiric's release, new official artwork was proposed.
I would very much like to use the Etched Ubuntu Studio ... wallpapers.
Sadly, no one seems to know who the original artist is or where the source
files might me.  These appear to be Official images as user contributed
art is directed elsewhere.  The images displayed have the overlaid text and
are NOT offered in any other size, so I can't use them.

Any help?  Thank you in advance.

RE: colour selection app

[C. F. Howlett]

I may have confused the Agave app with a color wheel selection tool.  At 
present,  at least 2 gnome based color managers are installed in US, so they 
are present and accounted for.  I consider that request fulfilled.

Scribus, Font Forge, Font Matrix, and Libre Office Writer should satisfy 
basic publishing needs.  I sent a query to  the Full Circle Magazine team about 
this and will share their response.

 From: l...@ovenwerks.net
 To: cfhowl...@hotmail.com
 CC: Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
 
 Not sure what happened. Anyway, I have added a Publishing submenu. It has
 Scribus, font-manager and fontforge in it. You also said something about a
 colour chooser. I am a bit lost as to what to do for this so it has not
 been included as yet. If you have some suggestions, I would be happy to
 hear about them.

Publishing tool recommendations

[C. F. Howlett]

From my limited experience ...

For Desktop Publishing, the premier FOSS app seems to be Scribus.

A FontManager for sorting, selecting, cataloging

A FontForge for editing/CREATING fonts

A color selection app

...

I have no website developing experience so can't speak to that ...

Publishing/Desktop Publishing/DTP

[C. F. Howlett]

Greetings All: Having recently clean installed 12.04 as an upgrade from 10.04, 
a couple of things immediately became clear; XCFE/Xubuntu is a different beast 
than Gnome/Ubuntu and will take some getting used to.  It's a matter of 
reprogramming muscle memory and getting accustomed to the new arrangement.   
Desktop Publishing/DTP appears to have been dropped from the default menus.  I 
was asked for some font advice and confidently went to US to create a quick 
font catalog only to find no such tools available in the default installation.  
Likewise, the website authoring tools appear to have been dropped.  I can see 
dropping the website tools, but the DTP tools?  In the past, such tools have 
included Scribus and the various font creation and management apps.  I'm 
saddened that they're no longer offered in the default configuration, though it 
must be said that I've had much more success attracting potential users to US 
with the audio/visual tools than with the publishing tools. Still and all, I'm 
heartened that US has and will continue to evolve.  I look forward to the next 
LTS release.--

Default Wallpapers

[C. F. Howlett]

Greetings UbuntuStudio:

Some very nice wallpapers were proposed for 11.10 but they were not
selected for inclusion.  I've not been able to find a source file, so it
seems they're not available anywhere for download except as shown here:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/OfficialOneiric

Can we please get these released, even if they're NOT to be included in
precise?  Thanks in advance.

C. F. Howlett

Ubuntu Studio Art

[C. F. Howlett]

Brian:

 

OUTSTANDING looking art!  I'm still a long ways from being able to craft 
anything so polished, but these definitely reflect the concept I had in mind 
when I started thinking about a Created with Ubuntu Studio stamp.  I 
particularly appreciate that the overall design is now centered as opposed to 
the offset appearance utilized in the current Ubuntu Studio logo.

 

FWIW: I hope the current Ubuntu Studio COF is kept as is.  I've grown to love 
it.
