[18:55] <mainerror> What do you guys think?
[18:56] <mainerror> The mission was to design a Google Plus logo for Ask Ubuntu.
[18:56] <mainerror> It should somehow have Ask Ubuntu elements and Google Plus elements.

[20:12] <cwt-bugs> Launchpad bug 397723 in Inkscape "Draw a chessboard in the background to know when alpha < 100%" (affected: 3, heat: 20) [Wishlist,Confirmed]
[20:13] <mainerror> Nice feature request.
[20:35] <mainerror> If I have an idea for an Ubuntu accessory, against which project would I file that bug?
[20:36] <mainerror> sladen: -^
[20:48] <sladen> mainerror: http://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branding/+filebug?field.title=Idea+for+Ubuntu+accessory
[20:49] <sladen> mainerror: no guarantee that Canonical would be able to help, but I we can at least make sure that it's saved somewhere for discussion
[20:51] <mainerror> Someone pointed out that it might not be a bug but an idea which should be posted on Ubuntu Brainstorm.
[20:51] <mainerror> It would be nice to have an Ubuntu Frisbee. :)
[20:52] <mainerror> That is the idea basically. :)

[20:56] <sladen> mainerror: you should also put on there what you might be prepared to pay for it
[20:57] <sladen> mainerror: the design work should be easy (it's just the logo/circle of friends probably), but for turning it into a physical product you'll have to work out costings
[20:57] <sladen> and the business case
[20:58] <mainerror> The truth is, that I have no idea how much a Frisbee actually costs but because it would be an Ubuntu Frisbee I'd definitely pay more than for other Frisbees.
[20:59] <sladen> getting an orange frisbee of the correct colour will be hard; so it might be easier to do orange ink silkscreened onto a white substrate
[20:59] <sladen> mainerror: well, would you pay $25 ?
[20:59] <mainerror> No no, that is why I proposed a white base with an orange CoF printed on it.
[20:59] <mainerror> I guess I'd do.
[21:01] <mainerror> Sure orange plastic with a white circle of friends would be amazing as well but just very expensive in production.
[21:18] <mainerror> Here are some mockups.

[21:18] <mainerror> I like the second one.
[21:37] <mainerror> This is how it could look like on an orange substrate.

[22:14] <sladen> mainerror: probably better to individually attach them to the bug report so that they don't get lost
[22:14] <sladen> mainerror: they did look good though
[22:18] <mainerror> So you think I should file a bug report?
[22:20] <sladen> mainerror: I think you should file *something* more concrete than just raising it on ITC
[22:20] <sladen> IRC
[22:20] <sladen> mainerror: somewhere where it can be discussed, and found via Google
[22:22] <mainerror> I did on Brainstorm. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29255/
[22:22] <mainerror> Just not sure if that is the right place.
