[00:04] <ajmitch> highvoltage: I'm at work
[00:07] <highvoltage> ah
[00:07] <ajmitch> yeah, it's a bit harder for me to set aside work time for ubuntu
[00:08] <ajmitch> I can do wednesday nights here instead of tuesdays if it'd be easier for you - it'd probably be easier for me

[11:54] <highvoltage> (good morning :p)
[12:25] <malin> wendar: ajmitch: I am trying to upload my app trhoug the myapps.developer.ubntu.com all I can see is a way to upload from my computer. how exactly do I link to my ppa?
[12:34] <dpm> malin, you can add a comment in the text field, pointing to your PPA
[12:34] <dpm> currently there is no direct way to link a PPA
[12:35] <malin> dpm: aha, okey, tank you very much for help. How is it however to upload an app that installs to /usr/lib/ instead of /opt ?
[12:36] <malin> *thank
[12:41] <dpm> malin, I think the arb guys have written some guidelines for /opt installation. I'm not entirely certain, but perhaps they can confirm. wendar, highvoltage, stgraber, ajmitch? ^^
[12:42] <highvoltage> malin: yep, linking to your ppa in the text field should be fine.
[12:43] <highvoltage> malin: there's some guidelines on installing in opt under the packaging section on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines
[12:43] <dpm> thanks highvoltage
[12:43] <highvoltage> you're welcome
[12:43] <highvoltage> dpm: I just read jono's post on attracting more app developers during the next cycle
[12:43] <dpm> malin, ah, you've written a lens, in that case so far the ARB has taken care traditionally of doing the /opt and other packaging changes to lenses
[12:44] <highvoltage> dpm: would it also be possible to do a call for people developing educational software?
[12:45] <highvoltage> dpm: I'm planning on proposing to edubuntu that we look at doing a proof of concept for tablets for 12.10, but there's a huge lack of touch applications currently and we need to figure out how to make that gap a little bit smaller in the long term
[12:46] <malin> dpm: so I should commit a new revision with /opt as default installfolder then? :)
[12:47] <highvoltage> malin: not sure if dpm already pasted you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Lenses/Guidelines - but that is some guidelines especially for lenses, not sure if it will help but worth a look if you haven't done so already
[12:48] <highvoltage> (hmm, that link wasn't quite the one I thought it was, sorry)
[12:48] <malin> highvoltage: yeah, if there are different guidlines for lenses, I will check there
[12:48] <malin> this is by the way the first time I have made something who actually works
[12:48] <malin> :)
[12:49] <highvoltage> :)
[12:49] <malin> :D
[12:49] <malin> it's sooo cool
[12:50] <malin> it's a lens for getting info about busses in the town I live in: my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~malinkb/+archive/ppa an my project page: https://launchpad.net/unity-buss
[12:52] <highvoltage> nice. I wonder when someone is going to make unity location aware so that unity will show a list of local-specific apps :)
[13:01] <dpm> bbl, lunch time
[13:05] <mhall119> highvoltage: file a bug for unity-geolocation
[13:05] <mhall119> actually, desktop-wide geolocation would be nice
[15:29] <wendar> oh, I think I've figured out why jono's panic level is so much higher than ours
[15:29] <wendar> I'd be worried if there were 70 apps in the queue too
[15:30] <wendar> and, reminder, CC meeting in 30 minutes, hope folks can make it
[15:31] <wendar> the commercial queue is only 13, so the numbers can't be coming from there either
[17:02] <wendar> ping all, CC meeting now
[18:08] <ajmitch> thanks for being there for the CC meeting, I slept in a little bit
[20:53] <malin> how long do I have to wait for a review on myapps.developer.ubuntu.com?
[21:18] <highvoltage> hi malin! thanks for dropping by and asking
[21:19] <highvoltage> malin: your IRC nick looks familiar, which app did you submit?
[21:21] <malin> highvoltage: I submitted: Unity Buss
[21:21] <highvoltage> That was submitted 8 hours, 41 minutes ago
[21:22] <highvoltage> malin: one moment please...
[21:22] <malin> oki :) I just wondered what is the average time. I am not in any hurry
[21:22] <malin> Just wondering if it takes hour, days or weeks :)
[21:23] <highvoltage> malin: the short answer is: "yes"
[21:23] <malin> :)
[21:25] <highvoltage> we still have some kinks to sort out, but unity lenses are usually pretty simple
[21:25] <highvoltage> malin: I'll take a look at it tonight, I might not be able to test it yet but if you haven't heared back from us by Monday feel free to give us another poke
[21:26] <malin> highvoltage: thank you very much :)
[21:26] <highvoltage> you're welcome!
[21:27] <malin> thanx
[21:33] <highvoltage> where's all this fresh air suddenly coming from!?
[21:35] <cielak> highvoltage: what do you mean by 'fresh air'?
[21:37] <highvoltage> (sorry, wrong channel and I didn't even notice until now)
[21:37] <cielak> ah :-)
