rickspencer3robert_ancell: hi02:31
robert_ancellrickspencer3: hi rick02:31
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: check it out02:46
rickspencer3robert_ancell is a bot02:46
rickspencer3try it, it's pretty good at the turing test02:46
* robert_ancell is a bot. The real Robert is at the beach02:47
rickspencer3robert_ancell: what are good turing test questions02:48
* rickspencer3 gets meta on the bot02:48
kenvandineyo yo02:48
kenvandinehttp://dl.getdropbox.com/u/102212/f-spot-with-friends-mockup.png02:49
rickspencer3kenvandine_wk: in terms of blueprint for U1 photo sharing02:49
rickspencer3you might as well slap one together real quick02:49
kenvandineyeah... i think it would rock02:49
kenvandineand really help U1 shine02:49
kenvandinewith some cool facebook integration02:49
kenvandineetc02:49
rickspencer3pitti and I will sort them out later, worse case is we don't accept it for UDS, but that doesn't mean it would stop your project02:49
kenvandineshould i be creating wiki pages for each blueprint?02:50
rickspencer3kenvandine: so you're thinking FB friends for the contacts?02:50
kenvandinewell... that and other u1 services02:50
rickspencer3or perhaps that could be plugable02:50
kenvandineyeah02:50
kenvandineany way we can get your friends02:50
kenvandineand LP can interface with them somehow02:51
rickspencer3like a list of checkboxes for different sets of contacts to share with02:51
kenvandinebut in this mockup02:51
kenvandineif you had shared photos02:51
kenvandinei could just select you in the drop down02:51
kenvandineand i would see your photos that you shared02:51
kenvandinenicely integrated in the desktop :)02:51
rickspencer3and when a new picture was shared, it could rip a notification and use the indicator applet :P02:51
kenvandinesure02:51
kenvandine:)02:51
kenvandineand if you wanted to comment on someones photos02:52
kenvandineall the friends can see it... like on your wall02:52
kenvandineetc02:52
kenvandinelike flickr meets f-spot meets u1 meets facebook02:52
kenvandineall on your desktop02:52
kenvandineand this could tie into the desktop content library idea02:52
kenvandinewhich has a blueprint02:53
kenvandinewhen are you and pitti reviewing the blueprints?02:53
kenvandinei wish there was U1 api docs... i have no idea how hard this would be02:53
rickspencer3kenvandine: there's a session planned for UDS on U1 integration02:55
rickspencer3so that might be a good time to discuss with them02:55
kenvandinei know02:55
kenvandinei think this is big enough for a separate discussion02:55
rickspencer3kenvandine - right02:56
kenvandine i wish more people were working on u1 services already... but maybe that is me just being overly excited about cool stuff :)02:56
rickspencer3however, keep in mind that the desktop team will have *plenty* of work for Karmic02:56
kenvandinei know :)02:56
rickspencer3we're not really looking for more features to implement ;)02:56
kenvandineit would be quite a bit of work... i suspect02:56
* robert_ancell can hear the crack of rickspencer3 s karmic whip already :)02:57
kenvandinebut would really rock02:57
kenvandineimagine users never needing to backup their photos :)02:57
rickspencer3that02:57
rickspencer3s already supported with U1, right?02:57
rickspencer3just pop your photos in there02:57
kenvandinenot really02:57
kenvandineyes02:57
kenvandinethat part is02:57
* rickspencer3 whip cracking noises02:57
kenvandinebut not the metadata... like tags02:57
kenvandineetc02:57
rickspencer3hmm02:58
kenvandineand it requires you to put it in the right directories02:58
kenvandineetc02:58
rickspencer3are those your kids? cute02:58
kenvandineand of course doesn't do any of the social stuff :)02:58
kenvandineyup :)02:58
kenvandinethx02:58
kenvandinelast weekend at the zoo :)02:58
rickspencer3those pants are going to be covered in grass stains and dirt in about 15 minutes, right?02:58
kenvandineyup02:58
rickspencer3heh02:59
* kenvandine is still waiting for that mockup to sync to u102:59
rickspencer3I'll be interested to see the blueprint, perhaps you could whip up some community energy around the project, or02:59
kenvandinemaybe :)02:59
rickspencer3even interest the f-spot upstream devs to take a look02:59
rickspencer3alright, this is getting annoying ...03:00
robert_ancellYou guys may like this.  My handy beta tester (my dad) was happy with the Jaunty upgrade because his built in wireless started working so he could chuck away his USB WiFi card.  He's had more stuff work every release03:00
kenvandinei'll try to get it done tonight... any minute my wife is going to hand the baby to me03:00
rickspencer3I can't figure out how to get evo to actually apply my filters03:00
kenvandinerobert_ancell: awesome!03:00
rickspencer3after joining the U1 list thingy, I *need* my filters03:00
kenvandinectrl-y03:00
kenvandinerickspencer3: in a week the bugs will be public... so you can be removed from the team :)03:01
kenvandinerickspencer3: it is nuts, sometimes there are hundreds an hour03:01
kenvandinei've been getting these mails since i started :)03:01
rickspencer3what does ctrl-y do?03:01
kenvandineruns filters03:01
kenvandinectrl-a then ctrl-y03:01
rickspencer3yeah!03:02
rickspencer3I assumed they were automatically aplied ...03:02
rickspencer3like *every other email program ever*03:02
kenvandinewell... i think they can be03:02
kenvandinebut i hate that03:02
kenvandinei don't think it is the default03:02
* calc notes that OOo 3.1.0~rc2 is now pending on a bunch of syncs03:02
kenvandinecalc: long live gnome office03:02
* kenvandine ducks03:02
calckenvandine: heh :)03:02
rickspencer3calc: are you going to get that puppy ready for us before you start your OEM tour tomorrow?03:03
rickspencer3:)03:03
calckenvandine: i'm hoping oracle creates the foundation later this year so we can fix the Sun braindamage03:03
rickspencer3get it into Karmic and don't look back :)03:03
kenvandinecalc: that will take years... to convert that kind of braindamage03:03
calcrickspencer3: doesn't look like it will be done by then unfortunately unless someone wants to sync a bunch of packages for me03:03
rickspencer3robert_ancell: thaks for the note about your dad, btw, good to hear03:03
rickspencer3calc: you'll still have 20% time to work on it, I think03:04
calckenvandine: they decided to essentially fork a bunch of java libraries which i now have to wait on a sync for :\03:04
rickspencer320% of 80 hours is 25 hours, so really, no problems03:04
calcok03:04
kenvandine:/03:04
kenvandinehehe03:04
calchaha03:04
kenvandinerickspencer3: that isn't enough to maintain OOo03:04
calc~ 80hr a week is around enough for OOo by itself yea ;-)03:04
rickspencer3kenvandine: ack, but I think for Karmic we might actually not want to do too much, let the dust settle with Sun purchase and such03:05
* calc was putting close to that in for the past couple months anyway03:05
calcit has gotten much easier to get good quality packages by not trying to cram in the new OOo at the last minute though :)03:06
calcwith intrepid and jaunty and we are now nearly caught up on bug triage for OOo :)03:06
calcit also lets novell do most of bug shake out for us with the new releases, heh :)03:07
rickspencer3calc: have there been any complaints from users about not having 3.1 in Jaunty?03:07
calci think they try to line up their suse releases to be a few months after OOo release as well03:07
rickspencer3I wouldn't think so given that it's still in Rc03:07
calcrickspencer3: haven't heard anything yet... of course 3.1 still isn't even out yet, heh03:08
calcrc2 just came out this week03:08
calcthey are planning i think to just throw whats there out as final next week... warts and all03:08
rickspencer3ug03:08
calcbut there will be a 3.1.1 in a couple months that we will get in for karmic03:08
rickspencer3so we should probably get 3.1 into Karmic early, and hope we get good bug fixes from upstream while you are on your OEM tour03:09
calcgenerally .0 releases by OOo aren't very good, they are going to try to improve that this next cycle for 3.203:09
calcyea03:09
calci think i can probably handle the packaging aspect for 3.1 if some other people can help with the bug triage03:10
calci doubt i can do both in 20% time, heh03:10
rickspencer3calc: right03:11
calcthough it won't be as bad as this past cycle since i had lots of bugs to go through and verify and send upstream03:11
rickspencer3don't worry, we've got your back03:11
calcbug verification does take extra time for OOo since we have to have a good enough bug to reproduce it ourselves then test on Sun OOo, if it doesn't show up on Sun OOo then forward to Novell (if we know its not our fault), if seen in Sun OOo send to them, otherwise fix it ourselves03:12
rickspencer3calc: have you documented these practices?03:13
calccombined with the fact that most bug reports aren't very good quality initially it can take a while to triage bugs, :\03:13
calcrickspencer3: i think so, but i will check on the wiki and add/update as needed03:14
rickspencer3that would be helpful03:14
calcin the past i did ~ 95% of the triage so i did document it at one time but since few other people do it may be out of date03:14
rickspencer3calc: do we have to get 3.1.1 for Karmic?03:15
rickspencer3can't we just stick with 3.1.0, or will it be too buggy?03:15
calc3.1.0 should be fine... but afaik 3.1.1 is expected before FF and is just a minor bugfix release03:16
calcthe .1 releases are to fix bugs they didn't get around to for the .0 release (and newly found bugs as well)03:16
calcgenerally getting things working from a .0 to .1 release packaging wise isn't much trouble, getting the initial .0 working on Ubuntu can be a lot of work though03:18
rickspencer3kenvandine what about a U1 app that let's you share desktop wallpaper?03:18
calci think i have 3.1.0 almost ready doing a test build at the moment, and need the packages synced for its build-deps03:18
rickspencer3calc: noted03:18
kenvandinethat would be pretty simple i would think03:18
rickspencer3could the app that sets the desktop wallpaper be amended to look in a certain place and pick a random wall paper?03:19
kenvandinehttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-photo-ubuntuone03:25
kenvandinerickspencer3: yes it could03:25
kenvandineit could actually follow a rss feed (with some hacking)03:25
rickspencer3seems maybe simpler than the f-spot thing ;)03:25
kenvandinebut not nearly as cool03:25
* rickspencer3 is so subtle03:25
kenvandineok... baby time.... later folks103:28
