Yannigasac: Tell me: what can I do if I want to make test my translations by others on Mac and Windows?16:30
rzrYannig: doing tranlation to occitant ? is there a big translation community there ?16:31
Yannigrzr: Me :P16:31
Yannigrzr: But I'd like others to test, in order that they tell me what they think of it16:31
rzrok, because I am born in toulouse and lived there 25 years ,and I dont even know how to say "hello world" :)16:32
YannigTwo friends of mine would do it, they installed xulrunner and firefox translations but no way :P16:32
Yannigrzr: :D16:32
rzra random localisation feature would help pple to learn other languages :)16:33
Yannigrzr: but Ubuntu is 11% translated, GNOME 33%, Firefox 36%, etc. :-)16:33
Yannigrzr: Why not :)16:33
rzranyone run intrepid here ?, is beta1 out ?16:36
asacrzr: i merged it and dropped a comment in bug16:36

Yannigasac: Any idea?16:44
Yannigrzr: Wouldn't you know? ;-)16:47
rzrknow what ? I am the guess man :)16:47
Yannigrzr: Great, lucky me :-)16:48
rzrI see that If you pay me a beer when I am back in occitanie you'll avoid big trouble16:49
rzrX forwarding is so slow, Are there libre aternative like NX ?16:50
Yannigrzr: Can be done, if you have an answer to my question ;-)16:50
rzrthe question about merging your changes upstream ?16:51
Yannigrzr: Nope :-)16:51
Yannigrzr: asac explained me how to make xpi with my Occitan translations, I did them, I installed them on my computer (Ubuntu) and it works16:52
rzrI'll suggest you to join a mozilla community16:52
rzrlike xulfr16:52
YannigI'd like to know how to make them work for people on Windows and Mac16:52
rzrthey seams pretty active arent they ?16:53
YannigMozilla does not want to hear from a translating before it's finished :-(16:53
rzrmozco16:53
rzrthere are many communities related to mozilla ... xulfr is one of them16:54
asacYannig: id you try to use them on win?17:11
Yannigid.17:12
Yannig?17:12
asacdid17:12
YannigNope, it's been a long time I didn't use Win17:12
YannigI'll do it, someone advised me to try Locale switcher17:12
asacyeah17:15
asacthats the official way of switching locales17:15
YannigGreat :-)17:15
YannigThanks :-)17:15
asacmaybe you can use matchOS preference, but not sure how to set windows environment to your locale17:15
YannigIf Locale switcher works, it will be perfect for testing17:15
* asac off for a few17:18
YannigSee you, I have to go back to work.17:19
armin76asac: fta: have you noticed the bug with the spaces in the address bar?18:17
armin76asac: fta: if your address bar has an url with spaces, and you do ctrl-c, it translates the spaces to %20 when you paste it, however if you use unix paste(selection) it doesn't18:19
ftaarmin76, same with "'"18:41
fta' => %2718:41
armin76fta: any bug upstream?18:52
ftanot sure it's a bug, both make sense18:55
armin76why? ctcl-c converts it18:57
ftaone selects text, the other selects properly encoded url19:00

asacgandi: hehe. thats good news.20:12
gandiwould you be able to talk to him and help him choosing most needed things to be done?20:12
asacgandi: we have two main topics that are already pretty much specified ;)20:13
gandican I introduce him to you?20:14
asacgandi: get him here and we can have a virtual IRC conference20:14
asacabsolutely20:14
asacgandi: when would that be?20:15

xionoxif I can work on something20:18
asachi xionox20:20
xionoxhi asac20:20
asacxionox: what are your ideas?20:21
asace.g. what areas of integration do you see that can be improved?20:21
xionoxit is prety well integrated now20:22
fta_asac, https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/seamonkey/seamonkey-1.1.dev20:22
asaci have some concrete things in mind, but I am always happy to hear about others :)20:22
=== fta_ is now known as fta
xionoxit can be easy things, like pakaging extensions20:23
xionoxbut i don't have many idea in mind now20:23
gandiasac: for example xionox proposed he could write on adding a button on "firefox cannot be started because there is already another version started" window to kill all other instances20:24
gandiasac: do you have a list of ToDo?20:24
asacgandi: not really written down. but there are several things i have in mind20:24
asacxionox: are you more or less experienced with firefox code?20:24
gandifeel free to impregnate xionox's mind with them ;D20:24
asacgandi: I'll do :)20:25
xionoxnop20:25
gandiI'm going to do XUL training on xionox at the first days20:25
asacah ok20:25
gandiwe want to make sure xionox can work on Mozilla code20:25
xionoxI'm totally beginner about mozilla code20:25
asacok good.20:25
asacyeah. how long will you internship last?20:25
gandiaround 6 weeks20:25
xionoxyep20:26
asacok good.20:26
xionoxbut i have (i think) strong knowledge about ubuntu and linux in general20:26
asacok. let me give the main things that should happen or at least get started this cycle integration wise20:27
asac1. improve the plugin finder server experience.20:27
asacthe main task here is to add description to the results and to make the apturl run not block the mozilla UI20:28
asac(tell me if things are not clear as you might miss context :))20:28
asac2. work on getting our plugin finder features into the mozilla main tree20:29
xionoxi understand20:29
asacfor this we need to make the plugin finder service capable of new install methods (e.g. dpkg, rpm)20:29
asacand most likely we should also take care that packaged extensions also show up in the extensions dialog20:30
asacthats most likely a bit too much to get started20:30
asac3. improve kde integration20:30
asacwe have a spec on that here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Firefox3KDEIntegrationIntrepid20:31
asac4. provide a mechanism that notifies users in case there are plugin alternatives available and allow them to switch plugin used for a certain content-type20:32
asacthis should probably be done with upstreaming in mind20:32
asacbtw, 4. is part of another spec https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashExperienceIntrepid20:33
xionoxha ok20:33
asac5. make upgrades safer :)20:34
asacthis is a continuing task i guess. some ideas involve to display that firefox needs to be restarted in the firefox UI20:34
asacanother idea involves locking down access to "new"(not yet loaded) chrome or "new" (not yet loaded) components20:35
asacas those are the cases where firefox running after upgrade is at danger of going wild20:35
xionoxok20:36
asacxionox: you can also work on multiple of these and pick the easy parts to get started20:36
asace.g. for 5. make the button that allows users to restart firefox20:36
asacfor kde integration fix the "set background image" feature ... and so on20:37
asacxionox: you think any of those is something you would like to work on?20:37
xionoxyes20:37
xionoxany20:38
asaccool20:38
asac;)20:38
asacany preference?20:38
xionoxno20:38
asacgandi: what do you think?20:38
xionoxI just don't know if i could do one of these things on my own20:38
asacmaybe start with some low hanging fruits? like adding "description" to plugin finder service results in ubufox20:38
asacand adding restart button20:39
asacon upgrades20:39
gandixionox: You can look at developer.mozilla.org20:39
gandijust eyescan20:39
gandiXUL tutorial to get an idea how easy XUL is20:40
gandi;)20:40
asacxionox: once we know the initial tasks, I could try to provide initial pointers in a mini-spec document20:40
xionoxok20:40
gandigenerally speaking, I would recommend just scanning through what asac said and seeing what's best for you :)20:40
xionoxit seam good for me20:40
gandiit's also about what do you think motivates you most, what would you like to work on :)20:40
xionoxI'm ok to work on any of these tasks20:41
xionoxi find each of them interesting20:41
gandicool!20:41
gandi:)20:41
gandibut you'll have to make a decision one day, you know that, right? ;D20:42
asacgandi: i think the final decision should be done after initial work was done20:42
asacits easier to estimate what is possible after having done a few things20:42
gandican you guys exchange emails so that you can contact each other? xionox for help, asac once he'll find another ToDo ? ;)20:42
gandiasac: definitely20:42
asacnot sure if thats possible in a 6 weeks timeframe20:42
asac:)20:42
asacgandi: sure.20:43
xionoxyes20:43
gandiI'm just trying to help xionox build a list and rightsize to make sure he'll be able to work at least on a few useful to the end during internship :)20:43
xionoxI agree20:43
asacxionox: you can always ping me here ... i might be in bed from time to time, but in general i am here ;)20:43
asacotherwise asac@ubuntu.com20:43
xionoxxionox@gmail.com for me20:44
asacxionox: ok, so lets say we start on "safer upgrades"?20:47
xionoxit work for me20:47
asacxionox: if so, I'd draft a spec out of it and let you know20:47
xionoxwhat initial knowledge will i need to do that ?20:48
asacxionox: a bit mozilla xul and xpcom and general ubuntu knowledge20:48
asace.g. you might need to contribute patches to the update-notifier20:48
asaci think its  good balance20:49
asace.g. you can work on the ubuntu topics if you get stack on the "new" mozilla territory20:49
xionoxok :)20:49
asacthe xul + xpcom requirements are not really high20:49
asacmost likely as low as possible for something that has real-life value :)20:49
xionoxi will see with gandi for the xul20:49
asacxionox: when will the internship start?20:50
xionox7 of july20:50
asacok cool. will you be regularly in this channel?20:50
asacif so, kick me here if you have heard nothing about the "safer upgrade" spec in a week20:51
xionoxif you are, I think yes20:51
asaci am always here :)20:51
xionoxok20:51
asacsometime afk ;)20:51
asaccool great20:51
asaclooking forward20:51
asacxionox: maybe start reading on MDC before you start as gandi suggested20:52
asacso you get basic knowledge :)20:52
gandiMDC = developer.mozilla.org20:52
xionoxyes, i will20:53
xionoxso, see you after the 7of july ?20:58

ubottuMozilla bug 436870 in Security: PSM "FF3 RC1 loses SSL certificate exceptions" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43687021:20
cwong1asac: ping.. got a quick question for u21:24
asaccwong1: y21:26
cwong1asac: Are you folk still accept bug fixes for midbrowser?21:26
cwong1s/accept/accepting/21:27
cwong1asac: ^^^?21:29
asaccwong1: depends21:30
asacwhat fixes?21:30
cwong1asac: there is a problem with aboutbox not scale properly at 800x48021:30
cwong1asac: I have a simple fix for that.21:31
asaccwong1: we can do that. but i'd rather like to accumulate more fixes before starting the SRU process21:32
asaccwong1: so the idea is that you keep working on master and then we cherry-pick the important fixes regularly21:33
cwong1asac: that sounds good to me.21:33
cwong1asac: let do that unless Compal start scream for the fix.21:33
asacyes. to suffice immediate demand one can also upload to PPA i guess21:34
asacbut for main hardy we should update midbrowser at regular intervals21:34
cwong1ok21:35
asacwe could say that we align midbrowser update cycle with firefox one21:35
asaccwong1: what about a roadmap for midbrowser 1.0? improving toolbar would be an immediate need i guess21:37
asacthe usability lacks behind ... and adding fingerscroll for textfields21:37
cwong1asac: We don't have plan for midbrowser 1.0 yet. I agree with u that the toolbar needs some work. We are currently looking at Friefox mobile.21:38
cwong1I like what they did by combining the urlbar and searchbar into 121:39
asaccwong1: right. there are various other concepts in there that are nice21:39
asacpoint is that i havent seen any date when there will be something usable21:40
asacany idea?21:40
cwong1The latest is beta by yearend.  It will release the same time as Firefox 3.1.21:40
cwong1I built a prototype from their source repository and got it running on a Samsung Q1. Looks good. Unforunately most of other UI are not there yet.21:41
cwong1But the toolbar looks great.21:42
cwong1The build instruction can be found at: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Fennec21:43

ftastevel, some of the errors i get: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/46319623:11
stevelfta: cool, i'll take a look23:12
ftastevel, is there a way to prevent the main sb window from being stuck in the visible part of the desktop ?23:13
stevelthanks23:13
stevelfta: i think there's an open bug on that23:14
* stevel roots around23:14
ftastevel, those are in my shell: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/46320123:16
stevelfta: so your first pastebin, the JS errors - those are all currently known bugs23:18
stevelif you care, i can dig up the bug numbers - but some of them are already being worked on23:18
stevelthe one for line #9 is because the GStreamer media core lacked the getSupportForURI() call, and has been fixed in trunk already23:19
steveli recgnise the errors on line 1 & 7, i believe bugs are already filed for them - not sure if they're being worked on23:19
stevelnot sure i recognise the one on line 14, but i feel like i overheard talk about it the other day - i'll look into that one further23:20
steveli don't recognise the ones from the second pastebin - but i'll look into those as well23:20
ftacool, thanks23:21
