[14:51:55] <airurando> next item [14:52:11] <airurando> [TOPIC] Our Loco Team Logo [14:52:27] <airurando> Do we need a redesign? [14:52:42] <airurando> Are we bound to using the new brand guidelines? [14:52:55] <airurando> [LINK] http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ [14:53:02] <infoturtle`> at the last ubuntu hour in limerick, some one brought a design that i loved if ye want to look at the idea of it [14:53:10] <infoturtle`> its rough but the idea is there [14:53:13] <airurando> Should we update the font at least? [14:53:38] <airurando> infoturtle` yeah that was Hugh [14:53:53] <infoturtle`> sure was [14:54:01] <airurando> Hugh Mulqueen an artist generated a logo which he posted to the forums some time ago. [14:54:01] <airurando> [LINK]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463311 [14:54:23] <airurando> I've chatted to Hugh on the forums and discussed the possibility of a more subtle update to the logo. [14:54:23] <airurando> He seemed keen. [14:54:38] <airurando> Hoped he would be here tonight [14:55:07] <airurando> does anyone have thought on this? [14:55:17] <airurando> is it needed? [14:55:57] <infoturtle`> he was keen to let us use it at the meeting [14:56:06] <infoturtle`> so I'd say he'd be fine with it [14:56:09] <infoturtle`> chuffed even [14:57:15] <airurando> infoturtle` based on the new branding I told Hugh I thought his design was a bit extreme. [14:57:48] <airurando> czajkowski: can you provide any guidance on this? [14:58:36] <czajkowski> ahh [14:58:52] <czajkowski> well once a new logo is created [14:58:59] <czajkowski> we can just ask canonical to check it#s ok [14:59:04] <czajkowski> they come back within a few days [14:59:10] <czajkowski> onces it's done poke me and I'll sort that bit out [15:00:24] <airurando> I've seem the UK redesign and it does not differ from the official brand as much as loco designs in the past did. [15:00:45] <czajkowski> nods [15:00:50] <czajkowski> they had it checked out also [15:01:04] <airurando> I don't believe there is scope for much artistic license [15:01:57] <czajkowski> but we can tidy up the font [15:02:02] <czajkowski> and folks can add stuff to the design [15:03:02] <airurando> I liked Hugs effort and suggested he came up with something more subtle paying head to the new brand design guidelines [15:03:21] <airurando> I'll try to contact Hugh Again [15:03:59] <czajkowski> okie dokie [15:04:08] <airurando> infoturtle` if you come across him can you let him know I want to talk to him?

[14:42:26] <airurando> Is there any point in having Ubuntu Hours on the 29th and 30th of December? [14:42:37] <czajkowski> nope [14:42:53] * slashtom and ebel will be in .uk then [14:42:58] <ebel> yarp [14:42:59] <czajkowski> airurando: how about teaming uo with python and ruby and alt.net for some sort of xmas thingy [14:43:16] <czajkowski> airurando: remember the mails vicky send on re an event [14:43:38] <airurando> czajkowski yeah got them [14:44:13] <czajkowski> perhaps that can be done instead of an ubuntu hour for december? [14:44:28] <airurando> czajkowski you propose calling that team quiz event a combined social event for December [14:44:37] <czajkowski> yup [14:44:46] <airurando> Good Idea [14:44:59] <infoturtle`> I likes it too [14:45:19] <airurando> is it agreed that we will drop Ubuntu Hours for December? [14:45:38] <infoturtle`> agreed [14:46:17] <airurando> I'll ask citizenjonker about the Limerick one. It will be up to him really. [14:46:40] <infoturtle`> He online now, will i ask him to join? [14:46:45] <infoturtle`> *he's [14:47:04] <airurando> as there are no objections thought we won'e schedule a Dublin Ubuntu Hour for December.

[14:48:34] <tdr112> airurando: i think an email to a list telling people its not on would be good [14:49:05] <airurando> tdr112: agreed I'll take that on [14:49:17] <infoturtle`> citizenjonker said he's cool with it [14:49:22] <infoturtle`> actual words [14:50:20] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando to e-mail list informing subscribers that there will be no scheduled Dublin and Limerick Hours for December.

[14:51:55] <airurando> next item [14:52:11] <airurando> [TOPIC] Our Loco Team Logo [14:52:27] <airurando> Do we need a redesign? [14:52:42] <airurando> Are we bound to using the new brand guidelines? [14:52:55] <airurando> [LINK] http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ [14:53:02] <infoturtle`> at the last ubuntu hour in limerick, some one brought a design that i loved if ye want to look at the idea of it [14:53:10] <infoturtle`> its rough but the idea is there [14:53:13] <airurando> Should we update the font at least? [14:53:38] <airurando> infoturtle` yeah that was Hugh [14:53:53] <infoturtle`> sure was [14:54:01] <airurando> Hugh Mulqueen an artist generated a logo which he posted to the forums some time ago. [14:54:01] <airurando> [LINK]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463311 [14:54:23] <airurando> I've chatted to Hugh on the forums and discussed the possibility of a more subtle update to the logo. [14:54:23] <airurando> He seemed keen. [14:54:38] <airurando> Hoped he would be here tonight [14:55:07] <airurando> does anyone have thought on this? [14:55:17] <airurando> is it needed? [14:55:57] <infoturtle`> he was keen to let us use it at the meeting [14:56:06] <infoturtle`> so I'd say he'd be fine with it [14:56:09] <infoturtle`> chuffed even [14:57:15] <airurando> infoturtle` based on the new branding I told Hugh I thought his design was a bit extreme. [14:57:48] <airurando> czajkowski: can you provide any guidance on this? [14:58:36] <czajkowski> ahh [14:58:52] <czajkowski> well once a new logo is created [14:58:59] <czajkowski> we can just ask canonical to check it#s ok [14:59:04] <czajkowski> they come back within a few days [14:59:10] <czajkowski> onces it's done poke me and I'll sort that bit out [15:00:24] <airurando> I've seem the UK redesign and it does not differ from the official brand as much as loco designs in the past did. [15:00:45] <czajkowski> nods [15:00:50] <czajkowski> they had it checked out also [15:01:04] <airurando> I don't believe there is scope for much artistic license [15:01:57] <czajkowski> but we can tidy up the font [15:02:02] <czajkowski> and folks can add stuff to the design [15:03:02] <airurando> I liked Hugs effort and suggested he came up with something more subtle paying head to the new brand design guidelines [15:03:21] <airurando> I'll try to contact Hugh Again [15:03:59] <czajkowski> okie dokie [15:04:08] <airurando> infoturtle` if you come across him can you let him know I want to talk to him?
