[07:48] <Stskeeps> persia: u-m patches for hildon desktop seem to apply fairly cleanly on top of latest h-d release btw
[07:49] <persia> Stskeeps, Cool.  Ubuntu passed FeatureFreeze, so we avoid updating to the new upstreams between now and release, but for the next cycle, that ought make the merge go smoothly.
[07:50] <Stskeeps> yeah, was just informing :)
[07:50] <persia> How is your effort with upstream going?  Are your patches getting merged?
[07:50] <Stskeeps> when it comes to hildon-desktop (the old UI) they've pretty much put that codebase in our hands, their new clutter-based hildon-desktop is what they're focusing on now
[07:51] <Stskeeps> where desktop and home area is seperated
[07:51] <persia> In that case, I'd encourage you to review the u-m patches, and accept anything you think is worthwhile.  Be nice to drop the distro-specific patches if possible.
[07:52] <Stskeeps> *nod* we have merged them actually, and working a bit to see what we can make of them
[07:53] <Stskeeps> been playing a bit with marquee :)
[07:55] <persia> Cool!
[07:59] <Stskeeps> we have a rather insane artwork guy so we're trying to implement some of his themes and ideas
[07:59] <Stskeeps> http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/mer-ui-scalability/
[08:09] <persia> Stskeeps, Sorry.  I was distracted.  So you're looking at scaling from 240x320 through to 1600x1200?
[08:10] <persia> Or just 480x640 through 1600x1200?
[08:10] <Stskeeps> for instance, but this was just a blog article based on a challenge to employ hildon-like UIs on smaller screens and bigger screens :)
[08:10] <Stskeeps> so he made some mockups
[08:11] <persia> Well, it's very promising.
[13:13] <ian_brasil> mer looks like unr
[13:20] <persia> ian_brasil, Kinda, although the underlying components are closer to Ubuntu MID
