I've copied the current Homepage design from Photoshop to Sketch to speed up in the future. Same with the styleguide/pattern library.
Cool. Can we access that in some way? The Dropbox thing has vanished, too and I had someone working on the Captive Portal which we don't have a copy of.
Next step is to design the key viewports for the homepage. Already started with that. I'm pretty busy in the evenings with private stuff like home improvements and annoying things which needs to be done.
Furthermore I had the idea to create a Slack channel for a more comfortable collaboration with Sven. Discuss and share stuff very easily and fast. I have very good experience with that tool during the last ~2 years.
What do you think Michael, would you sign up and create a IPFire Slack channel? The free basic version is totally enough.
I am very much against Slack. There are two main reasons:
a) It is proprietary. We cannot rely on this being free for forever and I do not want to force anyone to sign up for something in order to communicate with people.
b) We cannot archive it. The big advantage of a mailing list is that we have an archive of all messages that everyone can access from everywhere.
That's why I would like to keep the main conversation on this list if possible. For some work it makes more sense to do some instant messaging or use a phone.
For that we do have our own Jabber server and a SIP VoIP server that you can even call from your landline (this might be quite handy since you two are in different countries):

I hope this makes up for Slack. But if you have any other reasons I forgot to convince me, feel free to do so :)
Best, -Michael

Hello guys,
just wanted to check in on you and see how things are going since it has gone a little bit quiet here.
I am traveling over the next days again, but in case there is anything I can help out with, please send me an email.

Hey Maurice, no problem. I will do it with the variables: https://getbootstrap.com/css/#gr

Hey Sven,
do you think we can do a tiny customization at Bootstrap 4's
column grid
system? Just 24px gutter width instead of 30px? I found a short
guide for
that. Seems pretty easy.

-width/
From my point of view it looks like you just need to change
this:
.col-xs-1, .col-sm-1, .col-md-1 ...{more columns} { padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px; } .row { margin-right: -15px; margin-left: -15px; }
to this:
.col-xs-1, .col-sm-1, .col-md-1 ...{more columns} { padding-right: 12px; padding-left: 12px; } .row { margin-right: -12px; margin-left: -12px; }
That would help me to follow consistent UI metrics.
Best, Maurice

It would be nice to keep the conversation in English since
there are
people reading our mailing lists who don't speak German.
I know it might be a little bit complicated in the beginning
but I am sure
we will all get used to it :)

Hallo Maurice, ich antworte einfach mal in Deutsch. Englisch kann ich gut
lesen und
verstehen
aber schreibe es nicht so gern.
Im Moment baut die Seite ja auf Bootstrap auf, wird das
nicht
überflüssig wenn
du sowohl Grid als auch Pattern Library aufbaust? In wie weit wir die Pattern Library über alle Projekte
teilen sollten
wir
sehen wenn die Webseite steht, da die im Moment Priorität
hat.
Freu mich auf die Zusammenarbeit.
Grüße, Sven
