| [01:57] <snadge> so i heard a rumour that theres a ppa which fixes laggy window movement | |
| [01:58] <snadge> but smspillaz has an alternative fix which conflicts | |
| [01:58] <snadge> i think i ended up fixing the laggy window movement with a workaround.. adjusting the mouse polling | |
| [01:58] <snadge> and my other system uses unity-2d :D | |
| [01:59] <snadge> like a boss | |
| [02:09] <snadge> im rooting for 12.04 .. can i start testing stuff? :D | |
| [02:09] <snadge> or is that a bad idea | |
| [02:10] <snadge> it cant be any worse than the production code we're using right now.. *bdom tish* | |
| [09:46] <kamstrup> davidcalle: hey happy new year mate :-) | |
| [09:47] <kamstrup> davidcalle: I am sure you filed a bug/feature request for overriding how results are merged from scopes into the lens, but I can't find it... | |
| [09:47] <kamstrup> oh am I making this up? ;-) | |
| [09:49] <snadge> ur trippin' .. nobody speaks in here.. sssshhhh ;) | |

| [09:50] <davidcalle> kamstrup, happy new year :) | |
| [09:51] <davidcalle> kamstrup, I've seen the awesome merger branch. Thank you! | |

| [09:53] <davidcalle> kamstrup, Hum, I remember wanting to file it... | |
| [09:56] <kamstrup> davidcalle: hehe, maybe we only ever talked about it then | |

| [15:49] <gord> davidcalle, hey, before I forget you mentioned about http images in a lens not loading in the dash? (wasn't around at the time but was in my scrollback), do you have a bug for that? not got time to fix it atm but would like to keep it on my radar | |
| [15:49] <davidcalle> gord, I have one, let me get it | |
| [15:50] <gord> fantastic, I actually think we are just trying to load too many http connections from one source at once, so it just drops connections somewhere. a queue should hopefully fix it | |
| [15:51] <davidcalle> gord, hum, I don't have one, let me file it ;) | |

| [16:46] <mhall119> didrocks: kenvandine: ping | |
| [16:46] <mhall119> davidcalle: ping to you too | |
| [16:47] <davidcalle> mhall119, hey | |
| [16:47] <didrocks> hey mhall119 | |
| [16:48] <mhall119> didrocks: hey, you did the debian packaging feature of quickly, right? | |
| [16:48] <mhall119> davidcalle: do you have a blog, and if so is it on planet.ubuntu.com? | |
| [16:49] <mhall119> I'd like to see your lense work show up on more than just Google+ | |
| [16:49] <davidcalle> mhall119, I don't. | |
| [16:49] <didrocks> mhall119: indeed | |
| [16:50] <mhall119> didrocks: I'd like to do something just like that for lp:singlet, to generate and build packages for Unity lensees | |
| [16:50] <didrocks> mhall119: yeah, I read your blog post, do you know that we already had (but a deprecated one) quickly template for lenses? | |
| [16:50] <mhall119> davidcalle: would you be interested in starting a blog? | |
| [16:50] <didrocks> mhall119: maybe you should just integrate your code snippet to it, as a quickly template | |
| [16:50] <didrocks> and you will get the packaging feature for free :) | |
| [16:50] <mhall119> didrocks: I heard about that after the fact, yes | |
| [16:51] <mhall119> is that in the quickly trunk? | |
| [16:51] <didrocks> mhall119: so, I'm happy to work on that with you if you don't mind | |
| [16:51] <didrocks> mhall119: no, and I think that your work is more advanced, it was at the same of only vala lenses | |
| [16:51] <mhall119> didrocks: that'd be awesome | |
| [16:51] <didrocks> mhall119: excellent, can we talk about it tomorrow? (not sure of your time zone?) | |
| [16:52] <mhall119> only vala? | |
| [16:52] <mhall119> didrocks: I'm US/Eastern, so it's 12pm for me | |
| [16:52] <didrocks> mhall119: yeah, but that's stone age for now (more than a year! ;)) | |
| [16:52] <didrocks> mhall119: ok, do you think you have some time tomorrow? I can give it a look in my morning | |
| [16:52] <didrocks> and see how we can integrate it | |
| [16:52] <mhall119> it's funny how quickly things become stone-aged on a 6 month cadence | |
| [16:53] <mhall119> didrocks: yup, just give me a ping | |
| [16:53] <didrocks> right, it's funny and frightning :) | |
| [16:53] <mhall119> at least we're not doing 6-week cycles like Mozilla, that's scary | |
| [16:53] <didrocks> mhall119: great! will ping you back then and nice work on singlet! I'm amazed how your reduced the boiler plate! | |
| [16:53] <mhall119> didrocks: thanks | |
| [16:54] <mhall119> ! | |
| [16:54] <didrocks> you* | |
| [16:57] <mhall119> davidcalle: are you an Ubuntu member? | |
| [17:00] <davidcalle> mhall119, sorry was in a meeting. I'm not a member and I have a blog ready for ohscopes, I've just never started it. | |
| [17:01] <mhall119> davidcalle: you should definitely apply for membership, there are people who would definitely support you, and then we can get your blog syndicated on planet.ubuntu.com | |
| [17:01] <mhall119> let me know when you have the ohscopes blog setup too, so I can spread the word | |
| [17:02] <davidcalle> mhall119, I will, probably this week-end, for membership and blog. | |
| [17:03] <mhall119> awesome | |
| [17:06] <mhall119> davidcalle: I'm going to start trying to get some of these lenses and scopes into software center, which ones are in the best shape for me to start with? | |
| [17:09] <davidcalle> Grooveshark scope , utilities lens + calculator scope + cities scope, torrents lens + piratebay scope are good too, but it's controversial and has an "adult" filter. | |
| [17:11] <davidcalle> The package descriptions are not great. Feel free to change them :) | |
| [17:11] <davidcalle> mhall119 ^ | |
| [17:12] <davidcalle> What is needed to have them in the archive? | |
| [17:17] <kenvandine> mhall119, pong | |
| [17:18] <mhall119> kenvandine: do you have some time on your schedule to help us package some scopes? | |
| [17:18] <kenvandine> not really... | |
| [17:18] <kenvandine> although it should be quick and easy | |
| [17:19] <kenvandine> maybe i can do one as an example? | |
| [17:19] <mhall119> kenvandine: that would be great | |
| [17:19] <kenvandine> point me at one and i'll create the package sometime this week | |
| [17:19] <mhall119> kenvandine: if you there's anything special or specific about doing lense packaging, a blog post about it would benefit the rest of the community | |
| [17:19] <kenvandine> true :) | |
| [17:20] <mhall119> davidcalle: you have some packaged already, right? | |
| [17:20] <kenvandine> there isn't anything special really | |
| [17:20] <kenvandine> just making sure things end up in the right directory | |
| [17:20] <davidcalle> mhall119, well, everything in the PPA ;-) | |
| [17:22] <mhall119> davidcalle: where's the ppa again? | |
| [17:22] <mhall119> kenvandine: there are different "right directory" requirements when going through MyApps as opposed to Universe, right? | |
| [17:22] <davidcalle> mhall119, https://code.launchpad.net/~scopes-packagers/+archive/ppa | |
| [17:23] <kenvandine> mhall119, not sure actually, i think i heard something about putting things in /opt for MyApps | |
| [17:23] <mhall119> davidcalle: looks like you've already got them all packaged? In that case we just need to get them submitted | |
| [17:23] <kenvandine> however, i don't think unity will work with that | |
| [17:23] <davidcalle> mhall119, I've talked to Stephane Graber and the ARB is fine with some files being out ot /opt | |
| [17:23] <kenvandine> cool | |
| [17:23] <mhall119> davidcalle: good | |
| [17:24] <mhall119> davidcalle: do you know how they are going to identify a scope as an add-on to a specific lens package? | |
| [17:24] <mhall119> in software center | |
| [17:24] <davidcalle> mhall119, the problem is that scopes depends on lenses, and packages from myapps can't depend on each other... | |
| [17:24] <kenvandine> probably a suggests | |
| [17:24] <kenvandine> they can suggest it without depending on it | |
| [17:24] <davidcalle> kenvandine, I think you are right, that's the way it's currently done. | |
| [17:24] <mhall119> kenvandine: or an rdepends maybe | |
| [17:25] <kenvandine> i think if you add the suggests software center does the right thing | |
| [17:25] <mhall119> ok, so the lens package needs to list the scopes for it? that seems backwards | |
| [17:25] <kenvandine> mhall119, i suspect so... but that is sub-optimal | |
| [17:26] <mhall119> ok | |
| [17:26] <kenvandine> you should probably ask someone on the software center team to confirm | |
| [17:26] <kenvandine> maybe there is another way | |
| [17:26] <mhall119> davidcalle: lets pick one lense to start with, and try and get it uploaded to 12.04 | |
| [17:26] <kenvandine> but i can't see one | |
| [17:26] <mhall119> kenvandine: ok | |
| [17:27] <mhall119> I'm still not clear if these should go through MyApps or REVU | |
| [17:27] <davidcalle> mhall119, the utilities lens + calculator scope + cities scope (weather forecast), seems to be a good combo to start with. | |
| [17:27] <mhall119> davidcalle: are both of those scopes for the utilities lense? | |
| [17:27] <davidcalle> It's a calculator + forecast on city name, in the Home Dash. | |
| [17:28] <davidcalle> Yes. The utilities lens is a hidden lens, not in the scope bar, just used to host "utilities" scopes. | |
| [17:28] <davidcalle> the lens bar* :) | |
| [17:29] <mhall119> how about the graphic design lens? is that in good shape? | |
| [17:29] <davidcalle> mhall119, it is, but it has four scopes by default. So, more packages to put in the archive. | |
| [17:31] <mhall119> we can do them one at a time though can't we? | |
| [17:31] <mhall119> it'll require updating the lens package with the additional Suggests, but that shouldn't be difficult to do | |
| [17:32] <davidcalle> mhall119, sure. If we pick this one, I should add a package checking in the lens daemon, to avoid displaying filters of not available scopes. Just in case. | |
| [17:33] <mhall119> oh, are they coded into the daemon? | |
| [17:34] <davidcalle> The filters are always in the lens daemon. You can't define filters form the scopes. | |
| [17:34] <davidcalle> from* | |
| [17:37] <mhall119> ok, I understand what you mean now | |
| [17:37] <davidcalle> mhall119, lenses provide the category + filter structure and scopes fill it with data. | |
| [17:37] <mhall119> and some filters don't make sense to have without a specific scope, I gotcha now | |
| [17:37] <davidcalle> mhall119, indeed | |
| [17:37] <mhall119> in that case, let's start with the utilities lens + calculator and forecast scopes | |
| [17:38] <mhall119> kenvandine: ^^ can you look at the existing packages for those and let us know what, if anything, needs to be changed before going to the ARB? | |
| [17:38] <mhall119> https://code.launchpad.net/~scopes-packagers/+archive/ppa/+packages | |
| [17:38] <davidcalle> mhall119, as a bonus, it's a long-time requested Unity feature, a calculator. | |
| [17:39] <mhall119> that'll be good to highlight then | |
| [17:40] <davidcalle> kenvandine, unity-lens-utilities, unity-scope-cities and unity-scope-calculator. But you may just need to look at one, the packaging is done exactly in the same way for all. | |
| [17:47] <davidcalle> mhall119, kenvandine, maybe before going to the ARB, we should wait for the libunity API changes to land. Or we choose Oneiric as a target. | |
| [17:47] <mhall119> do we know what API changes are planned? | |
| [17:47] <mhall119> I'm okay with targetting oneiric for now, that way I can use them right away :) | |
| [17:49] <davidcalle> mhall119, they have started to land in the Unity PPA. I don't know exactly what is planned. | |
| [17:49] <mhall119> ok, let's target oneiric then | |
| [17:50] <davidcalle> mhall119, sounds good. | |
| [17:50] <mhall119> kenvandine: someone has submitted a package branch for lp:singlet, I'll probably get with you to look over it once I merge | |
| [18:09] <kenvandine> mhall119, cool | |
| [18:10] <cybershoe> Good morning (for certain values of morning). | |
| [18:10] <cybershoe> I have the domain "unitydesktop.com", from a project that never launched. | |
| [18:10] <cybershoe> I want to offer it up to the Ubuntu team if anyone wants it, otherwise I'm just going to let it lapse. | |
| [18:10] <cybershoe> Does anyone know who would be the appropriate person to contact about this? | |

| [18:11] <jcastro> wow, no clue there | |
| [18:11] <jcastro> webmaster@ubuntu.com maybe? | |
| [18:11] <jono> cybershoe, can you email me at jono@ubuntu.com about this | |
| [18:11] <jcastro> or just mail jono. :) | |
| [18:11] <cybershoe> jono: will do. | |
| [18:11] <jono> cybershoe, I will put you in touch with the right person | |
| [18:11] <jono> many thanks | |
| [18:11] <cybershoe> No worries. | |
| [18:12] <cybershoe> I settled on the domain name about a week before I found out you were branding the new UI as Unity. True story. | |
| [18:13] <mhall119> jcastro: I think newz2000 still gets webmaster emails, and I don't think he'd be the one... | |
