Re: [ubuntu-uk] Team Leadership Election Process

Across all the teams I see him assist on he is the epitome of what ubuntu means. He is caring, thoughtful, considerate and knowledgeable. I know that across the teams we are both involved in that they are glad of his input into them and he is greatly appreciated by them. The title means nothing, Alan is not here for 'little badges', he is here to help the community. Do not lose this chance. I know for a fact it will not stop his work on the other teams, just a bit more work for him :) Regards, Phill. that is kinda not the point! This is just an exercise in getting the documentation straight, which I fully support. You are right in that the title means little to me, call me Janitor if you like. The thing is that we have been using the terms Point of Contact and Team Leader interchangeably, you can see that in the initial announcement from Dave Walker and the extension of the nomination period announced by Alan Pope. I in fact thought that Point of Contact was the new name and Team Leader was a deprecated title for the same thing, however this is not quite the case, and we don't get to define these roles as a team, the two roles are defined for us by the LoCo council here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamLeader https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamContact We *must* have a Team Contact, we *may* have a Team Leader, if both then these *may* be the same person. So this isn't something that involves a risk of getting rid of me! Just a bit of bureaucratic tidying up to avoid confusion going forward and next time around.

[ubuntu-uk] bulk graphics processing problem
hi all, I need several series of numbered icons, from about 1 to 111 in different colours. There must be a way of automating this through the command line using imagemagick, but I haven't found a way of doing so, and my google - fu is giving very poor returns today. Any one got any ideas?

With no testing whatsoever, and only a passing (but google-enhanced)
familiarity with imagemagick, this is how I'd do it in Perl.
Basically, define an array of acceptable colours, then iterate through
the numbers 1 through 111. For each, pick two different colours at
random to use as foreground and background colours and create an icon.
I don't even know if the imagemagick command really does what I want it
to - I got it from [0] - and this could be done in any language, I just
can't remember how to do arrays in bash.
#! /usr/bin/perl
my @colours=(red,green,blue,orange);
for (my $i = 1; $i = 111; $i++) {
# Pick a random colour for fg and bg out of the array:
my $fgcolour = $colours(int rand($#colours +1));
my $bgcolour = $colours(int rand($#colours +1));
# Check they're not equal
while ($bgcolour == $fgoclour){
$bgcolour = $colours(int rand($#colours +1));
}
# Concoct a command
my $cmd=convert -size 16x16 xc:$colour ;
$cmd .= -pointsize 8 -fill green ;
$cmd .= -stroke black ;
$cmd .= -draw 'text 10,55 \$i\' ;
$cmd .= icon_$i.jpg ;
# Run it
`$cmd`;
}
