Awesome job everyone!

screen shot of our final version of the canvas showing !newzealand@lemmy.nz and the kiwi from the community logo, a map of NZ with a kiwi, fantail, laser kiwi, gumboot, and a little penguin and a kayak

Good efforts from @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], and I'm sure others (it's a bit hard to tell except randomly pulling up the details to see who placed it (long press on mobile, shift+click on PC).

A map of just the Lemmy.nz users and the pixels we placed (unfortunately that leaves off a few many people here):

Sorry I didn't see all your hard work before @[email protected] when I was tagging the others!

Oh, everyone's talking about drama/fun with Hungary that I missed. ~~Writeup copied from redjard in the canvas general matrix room:~~ (edited out as it's now posted here)

Awesome work all!

I'm gonna do some filling of the space under, it would be nice for a plan other than just blue though. Ideas?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

It was looking a bit empty there, I thought someone would start something, but no one did.

Dunno maybe a row boat in the blue? 🤔

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I was wondering maybe this laser kiwi at 200,340?

Fills a gap at the top of the south island.

click me

A row boat could work in the blue too.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That can work too, but we'll be double kiwi-ing it!

Edit: what about a pair of gumboots?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Oh sorry didn't see the gumboot suggestion. Think we can still fit that in somewhere?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Sorry! I got distracted with something else, and then fell asleep 😅 Don't know if there's still time to add it?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Looks good to me!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Let's do it!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Done, just like that!

Any other ideas or do you know of other projects wanting a hand? The canvas is looking really good!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Maybe! If we have a template. Something like the yellow boots here but black? Maybe with a red band?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah but it has a nice run for lasers to go towards the left for the laser eyes. I'm thinking directly across, two high (or bigger if we finish the other parts.

Any thoughts on a template for a row boat? Drawing at that size is really quite tricky!

Edit: Oh we had one last year! Something like this little orange kayak?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

After a quick google I couldn't find anything suitable, I'm happy with something simple

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I edited to add a kayak thing from last year. I've started drawing that towards the bottom of that section.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I was away for much of it but I wanna help. How can I help now?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm heading to bed now, but it's looking good!

Canvas ends 4pm tomorrow. Perhaps some touch ups to do tomorrow depending on what happens overnight.

Tomorrow, if it's still intact, I'll probably try to fill in some more background around this area of the canvas with some colour or spread the blue, to try to make it look less empty in the gaps between different projects. If anyone sees projects worth contributing to I'm available for hire (as much as I can be on a work day, anyway).

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

We snagged quite a massive spot. I'm suprised we've held it tbh.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah we were in early! But now we have to hold it until 4pm tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fine!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah the going to bed at a reasonable hour is a very hard challenge. Anyways sorry for disrupting your projekt. Kinda got out of hand on my part.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Thanks, hope you have a good sleep 🙂

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Thats like 32 times to many, whoopsie...

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

No idea why that German(?) flag down the bottom decided to go over us but behind everything else. Been trying to take it back but they keep taking it again. Might just wait until later today to take it back.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah good plan. I don't understand it either. I actually messaged them to ask. I hoped they were in bed but apparently not yet (it's 12:30am in Germany).

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I'm heading to bed, but we've made some good progress today!

I have this template I'm going to start on unless anyone has other suggestions. pixel map of NZ with !newzealand@lemmy.nz and kiwi, pīwakawaka, and kororā birds

At 150, 300. I think this link should work:

https://canvas.fediverse.events/#tu=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.nz%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F96826d33-de00-4472-a04c-f0352ab3a8b9.png&tw=130&tx=150&ty=300&ts=ONE_TO_ONE&x=215&y=365&zoom=1

Adjust the opacity in the settings to see where to place a bit better.

You log in using your Lemmy account, you don't need to enter your password, instead you enter your username (like [email protected]) and it will send you a code via DM to enter and confirm it's you.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I'll do what I can to help!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Thanks! I think we have nicely claimed our spot now so I'm going to start tracing around the edge to make a full outline.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Adjustments to the template are welcome. The kiwi feet look weird, perhaps they should be a consistent colour.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

wow the fediverse auth is pretty cool. I like that.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, a cool way to get around the lack of OAuth or proper single sign on.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

@[email protected] I put in four different birds for laser eyes and I haven't seen even one yet!
