Hi Tim, I would like to help out on some of the tasks above. If you could prioritise the ones I feel comfortable with below, I'll get started as soon as possible. - git packaging branches for gnome3-team PPA, There are a bunch of scripts already done for this, but requires some tweaks and the actual migration to happen. - gedit, still needs UI patches for unity, not aware that anyone is currently working on this - Package up the new artwork assets for artwork team, preferably before UI Freeze September 10th - Try and reduce the ISO images back under 1GB or increase our size limits. - Using live-build to generate daily images based from wily/gnome3-staging PPA I'm very comfortable with git and I've been dying to do some python work :) Thanks -- All the best, Bruce -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
