[17:43] <seiflotfy> hey guys
[17:44] <seiflotfy> guys i have a little python MeMenu prototype thingie here
[17:44] <seiflotfy> that act like a menu
[17:44] <seiflotfy> although its a window
[17:44] <seiflotfy> who can i contact
[18:13] <hyperair> hmm notify-osd hates fractional font sies
[18:13] <hyperair> sizes*
[18:15] <maxriskfactor> hyperair, any major problem with it
[18:15] <maxriskfactor> ?
[18:16] <hyperair> maxriskfactor: set your application font size to 7.5 or something
[18:16] <hyperair> or 8.5
[18:16] <hyperair> or anything with the dot
[18:16] <hyperair> and see what happens.
[18:16] <hyperair> notify-osd gets really tiny
[18:16] <hyperair> because it thinks that the font size is 0.
[18:16] <maxriskfactor> ahh..
[18:16] <hyperair> there's a fix.
[18:16] <hyperair> but that was aages ago
[18:16] <hyperair> october last yer
[18:16] <maxriskfactor> the same problem was with Gwibber to
[18:16] <hyperair> that's 3 months!
[18:16] <maxriskfactor> *too
[18:16] <hyperair> but why hasn't it gotten uploaded?
[18:17] <hyperair> er
[18:17] <hyperair> gwibber?
[18:17] <maxriskfactor> fractional fonts size made it to act stupidly
[18:17] <maxriskfactor> yes.. dunno the situation now..
[18:17] <hyperair> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/396736
[18:17] <maxriskfactor> mostly people don't change the font size, so it should not affect a lot of people
[18:17] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 396736 in notify-osd "notify-osd seems to be unable to use some of the fonts" [Medium,In progress]
[18:17] <maxriskfactor> but still, this is a big bug
[18:17] <hyperair> it annoys me
[18:17] <hyperair> MASSIVELY
[18:17] <hyperair> it annoyed me enough to go digging inside notify-osd code to fix it
[18:18] <hyperair> then i find out that the fix has been around for 3 months but hasn't been merged.
[18:18] <hyperair> why?!
[18:18] <maxriskfactor> who is the dev for notify-osd?
[18:18] <maxriskfactor> means dev-team?
[18:18] <hyperair> macslow
[18:19] <hyperair> but he isn't around
[18:19] <maxriskfactor> yes, the patch is here 
[18:19] <maxriskfactor> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34093436/notify-osd-fontfloaters.diff
[18:20] <hyperair> my diff's smaller.
[18:20] <hyperair> it's committed to a bzr branch
[18:20] <hyperair> but not merged
[18:20] <hyperair> and not released
[18:22] <maxriskfactor> bad bad..
[18:23] <maxriskfactor> hyperair, when was macslow last seen?
[18:24] <hyperair> 2 days ago
[18:25] <maxriskfactor> he is a canonical dev or a volunteer?
[18:25] <hyperair> i think the former
[18:25] <vish> canonical employee ;)
[18:26] <vish> hyperair: last i heard macslow was out of notify-osd mode :(
[18:26] <maxriskfactor> then is he AWOL? he should be available since notify-osd is such a high-priority project
[18:26] <hyperair> vish: it's not unmaintained is it?
[18:26] <vish> hyperair: they probably have him doing some other ayatana stuff... my guess is it is a bit unmaintained :(
[18:26]  * hyperair sighs
[18:27]  * maxriskfactor thinks sabdfl should look into this matter
[18:27] <maxriskfactor> reason being he is heavily interested in usability project
[18:27] <vish> maxriskfactor: it is most probably sabdfl who has macslow doing other stuff ;p
[18:30] <hyperair> vish: you sure have a wide range of nicknames don't you
[18:30] <vish> hyperair: just updated nick recently... :)
[18:30] <hyperair> heh
[18:30] <maxriskfactor> now the situation is that patches and fixed branches are there.
[18:30] <maxriskfactor> but people to review and merge them are missing
[18:32]  * hyperair nods
[18:32] <hyperair> well we can poke macslow when he returns
[18:32]  * vish checks notify-osd changelog
[18:33] <vish> rather lp rev
[18:34] <vish> hyperair: nothing since a very long time :( > https://code.launchpad.net/~notify-osd-developers/notify-osd/main
[18:34] <hyperair> aye
[18:57] <maxriskfactor> vish, 8 days since lats change
[18:58] <vish> maxriskfactor: huh? it was oct 2009 ;p 
[18:58] <maxriskfactor> vish, wait. lemme check
[18:59] <maxriskfactor> vish, oops. so so so long
[18:59] <maxriskfactor> it looks abandoned
[19:04] <vish> maxriskfactor: you could ask on the ayatana mailing list if notify-osd development has been abandoned 
[19:05] <maxriskfactor> its just my thinking that it is abandoned
[19:10] <maxriskfactor> vish, since if a project dev is slow, it should still accept patches
[19:10] <maxriskfactor> even if the devs dont have time
[19:11] <maxriskfactor> vish, ^
[19:13] <vish> maxriskfactor: yup , but even patches need to be reviewed :)  that takes time too... I would really suggest if you can bring this up in the ML, if there is anyone else who can review your patch and merge
[19:13] <maxriskfactor> vish, anyway patches arnt supposed to be big
[19:14] <maxriskfactor> big patches are usually not taken much care
[19:14] <maxriskfactor> vish, if those patches are small, then it can be easily reviewed and taken care of
