Re: Web Site Screenshots

 

Hi everyone,

I am new to the team, but am trying to follow up as much as I can.

I know it may seem difficult sometimes to work with me, since when I work on something I expect the other side to be as clear about their demands as they can, which I do realize is not often possible and the industry I am entering also teaches, but believe me when I say when the communication is right, and attention to detail is paid, all work will be done accordingly.

To the website issue, I cannot, nor do I consider myself a web designer, _yet_. Currently I am taking my three-months long internship at a local design company, so practically I am available, not sure to what extent, but I am.

I have done a few small web designs and about 3 full websites in Joomla, but that was years ago. Joomla, however, is simple and could be an alternative for us - to take a suitable pre-coded Joomla template and redesign that.

I am confident we have many skilled people with us who know their way around with the code, so Joomla, that is just like Ubuntu built by the community and with all its flexibility could be altered to anyone's desires. Then again I saw the work of some of our designers and again I am confident, that together we can achieve great things.

_All it takes is proper communication_.

I know we are busy, some of us extremely, and that is why we have to continue in a massive recruitment campaign to fill up our ranks. This campaign would involve the creation of recruitment banners/posters/other propaganda material to hire designers to join the cause.

There are many artists who simply don't know where to fit, then there are those who are yet to experience the light of the stage, and there are so many art collectives/websites centred around art that I lost count of and are the best place to start searching at.

Those being a part of such communities should start posting blog entries, forum threads and even in the news section of that site with the approval of admins that we are looking for people with skill, dedication and the right amount of enthusiasm for our cause because what we do is karma, but a good one.

    Hey Team,


Hi :)



    Just saw that we have 13.10 / Gnome 3.8 screenshots up at
    http://ubuntugnome.org/screenshots/.

    Please can we get these updatedwhenever you have some time

    Thanks :)


The whole website MUST be changed and it seems no one is following up with this issue. While I didn't give up yet, I feel my efforts to chase this issue is helpless/useless as neither the marketing nor the artwork sub-teams are following up. Above all, I have not yet seen a serious draft to replace the current website.

I highly understand real life comes first (myself was and still busy with), this task was pending for more than one cycle and if I remember correctly, we wanted to do that from 14.04 cycle. It means 3 cycles so far ... that's way too much!


-- All the best,

If you think we need to update the screenshots until the website is done, please go ahead and I will do the upload for the new screenshots.

Thank you!
