NeoLin - Who's in?


Recommended Posts

Right whilst we seem to be discussing in the other topic, I suppose its time to see who's actually in with this.

Please, no trolling in this thread. Only post if you are serious about this.

I suppose just start off with what you can do really.

<< Oh, and btw, NeoLin is obviously not the name >>

Lets do this!

I'll do my best to help, just set me aside on all the super-easy stuff (:

more specifically: I can definitely help with the stock software, but I'll need to do some major brushing up on my C/C++ before I'll be able to help on the rest of it...but I'll do my best :p

(BTW, why don't you put a name vote in somewhere? Shift2 is my vote, unless someone comes up with something cooler.)

EDIT: I'm somewhat good at C# and other .NET languages (again, vote for Mono!), and so it shouldn't be too hard to pick up Java if we wanna go that route. I'll also brush up on my C++ :p

Edited by Matthew_Thepc

I am in, I can do the programming stuff (I can code in C/C++, little bit of Java & C#) , though I have no prior experience with building distros. Can do testing documentation etc etc.

+1 to Shift2

We would need designers / modders / coders.. etc ..

Wow this is lot of work .. :D

Lets gear up guys!

How about Shift2?

Programming wise I really only have experience with PHP and VB/VB.net (woo mono!), but Im willing to learn anything to help further the cause.

I have been learning how to build linux for a little bit now, and have had some success with building an Arch install and getting stuff going on it.

Oh, that one was floating around as a possibility years back, when Shift was up and running. I think it was a morph of Lindows. :pinch:

Lindows, haha now I remember that :D

EDIT: So it looks like we have a few peoples in then :)

I'd be able to do bits of coding, however I can't make any major commitments since I code all day too.

Another vote for Shift2 here. That said, I think this was discussed in the other threads, but is there any way we can incorporate the old Shift name/logo, and continue that with a non-compatible new release? It might give the distro a recognition boost.

I can do some publicity design and theme design.

Some years ago I did (with another member) three or fours Windows Styles that were somewhat popular. Way back when Windows thumbing mattered. To this day I still try to study GUIs.

Ahhh a themer! :D

We could do a new non-compatible release, but I think most of the people on this want the experience of creating something from scratch, unless I'm mistaken, in which case feel free to either hadouken me or yell :D

Can do graphics (UI/conception mockups etc) and photography (wallpapers).

Never did any theming, so I'd be new to it, but I sure could provide the graphics for elements and a mockup, if anyone is good at making components a theme or whether there are easy guides...

Animations I don't know right now... Would need some digging into that. :)

Glassed Silver:mac

Just a quick exercise in branding (In case we keep the Shift name).

After examining the most memorable tech logos I opted to propose a very simple yet memorable approach. Apple, Ubuntu, Windows (Now with Metro) etc all of them use solid shapes and clean lines.

In the other hand Shift means change, either direction or speed but also has a strong link with the concept of road (again, direction).

Again, this is just a crude proposal. I wanted something elegant and professional.

Shift2 sounds cool, but I wouldn't like typing it in :) what about the official name is Shift2, but when easier we can just use Shift2 or Shift^2? I couldn't stand having to press the superscript button everytime I want to mention it :D

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
