* mpt is momentarily disoriented by how bad Docky's Web presence is13:06
mptThere's no screenshot in USC, and the "Web site" link goes to a Launchpad project page that has its own "Web site" link that goes to a page that's completely blank except for the word "Wiki" which is linked to a wiki page that doesn't have any screenshots either13:07
mptI guess I should be complaining in #docky instead13:08
thorwilmpt: maybe that structure is secret hint for some game by Trent Reznor13:13
mptok, the wiki page does have one screenshot, I was using the wrong browser13:14

njpatelkamstrup, velkommen14:29
kamstrupnjpatel, ahoy!14:29
kamstrupsjokkis, hi!14:31
sjokkishi14:31
sjokkiskamstrup: if you're targeting for next april (or is it march?), i'd suggest looking into libfolks14:32
sjokkishttp://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Folks14:32
sjokkisstill quite immature, but the guy behind it is solid, so i think it's gonna pan out14:32
kamstrupsjokkis, njpatel is the supreme ruler on the technical side of Unity stuff and djsiegel is the design ninja :-) but you are most welcome to talk to me as well :-)14:33
sjokkisnjpatel...i've seen that name elsewhere14:33
kamstrupsjokkis, Unity is for 10/1014:33
sjokkisoh yeah, he's in #gnome-shell14:33
sjokkiskamstrup: i meant the people place, you mentioned14:33
* njpatel was thinking maybe from AWN14:33
sjokkisyou said maverick+1, right?14:33
njpatel:)14:33
kamstrupsjokkis, yeah njpatel is everywhere ;-)14:33
njpateleverywhere and nowhere, all at once14:34
kamstrupnjpatel, that's almost kinda Zen :-)14:34
njpatelsjokkis, kamstrup said you might be interested in building a people-place?14:34
sjokkisi don't know if i have the skillset to take charge of it, but i'd certainly be interested in helping out14:34
sjokkisand i have a lot of free time this summer14:35
kamstrupnjpatel, I told sjokkis that we don't have the final architecture fully nailed down at this point14:35
kamstrup(but that we are very close)14:35
njpatelsjokkis, Awesome, as kamstrup said, we're just testing a few ideas out but will hopefully have a bedded-down arch. quickly after alpha 214:37
sjokkisso in about a month?14:38
njpatelyeah 3-4 weeks, just because we're trying some interesting ideas and need to make sure they work :)14:38
sjokkissure14:38
njpatelsjokkis, skillset wise, kamstrup  is trying hard to make sure that we have a clean Vala API, with wrappers for the more complex bits of dbus-bits14:39
sjokkisso, we're looking at aggregating users from various sources, into meta-contacts, and presenting them to the user, right?14:39
njpatelI guess so, djsiegel1 may have some ideas about that14:40
sjokkisdjsiegel1: around?14:40
sjokkisnjpatel: have you looked at the (afaik rejected) design proposal on this for gnome-shell?14:41
njpatelsjokkis, people stuff? Nope, do you have a link?14:41
sjokkislooking for it now14:41
sjokkisnjpatel: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/DesignerPlayground/PeopleOverlay?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=gnome-shell-people-overlay-mockup.png14:44
njpatelsjokkis, ah, okay14:47
njpatelsjokkis, So, the way places work is that you, over dbus, hand a model of data and tell us how to render that information. For this release, we were planning to support one main way of rendering (due to other work) and then support custom renderers from M+1. However I think we may able to 'bootstrap' the custom renderer stuff and maybe people-place can be the guinea pig for that :)14:49
sjokkisnjpatel: do you have an API for that?14:51
njpatelsjokkis, for custom renderers?14:56
njpatelsjokkis, not as yet, it's something which we were just discussing. It would have to be a vala module that implements some interface, the rest being in Clutter to actually draw stuff14:56
sjokkisnjpatel: for sending data to unity over dbus15:06
njpatelsjokkis, that's what we're working on now15:06
sjokkiswould i have to use a custom renderer, though?15:06
njpatelI think so, the default one wouldn't fit for showing extra information (but would be great for the initial results)15:06
njpatelThe API itself will be very model-like, so your just adding/remove rows depending on the search string15:07
sjokkisdo you have an API draft i could look at?15:08
sjokkisnjpatel: ^15:16
njpatelsjokkis, not at the moment, but can ping you when we do15:18
njpatelstill in the process of tying things together15:18

ScottKtedg: I have to confess a complete lack of understanding for your enthusiasm for CSD and I don't see anyone outside Canonical (in this discussion) sharing it.18:24
tedgScottK, well, most people are simply tired of this discussion :)18:25
ScottKtedg: If you all are not interested in alternatives to CSD, then we can stop.18:25
tedgScottK, I think it simply comes down to having two people draw every window is a little silly, and it creates a bunch of inconsistencies.  Polishing them is just that, it's not fixing them.18:25
ScottKtedg: So you think all the negatives of CSD are fine?18:26
ScottKGood luck.18:26
tedgAh, okay.18:26
seb128hey tedg18:29
seb128qense, hey18:29
tedgEvening seb12818:29
qenseseb128: good evening18:30
seb128qense, tedg: did one of you try to work with the update gtk to fix the bluetooth issue?18:30
seb128updated18:30
seb128I would like to see if this gtk update should go to lucid or not18:30
seb128I've it ready but I don't want to stale18:30
qenseseb128: I didn't.18:30
seb128tedg, you probably have a better understanding of the change and issue than me18:31
qenseseb128: I am quite busy right now, but maybe tedg has some spare time? :)18:31
seb128tedg, should some indicator* component listen to a new signal?18:31
tedgseb128, I don't believe so.  Though, I don't have bluetooth -- so I'm mostly debugging from e-mails/bugs.18:32
qensebut that would mean the current GTK+ change doesn't fix this issue.18:32
seb128tedg, so you don't have an understanding of the issue? do you know who has?18:32
seb128well bratsche said the gtk change fixes the issue but the indicator still doesn't work18:33
seb128we might need some extra indicator changes though18:33
tedgseb128, Ah, okay.  I hadn't got any information on whether the GTK fix had worked or not.18:33
bratscheThe bluetooth thing?18:34
qenseyeah!18:34
seb128well, how do you determine if it worked? it doesn't fix the indicator18:34
seb128bratsche, yes18:34
bratscheI think whoever was working on the patch connected to an "add" signal in the patch, and that needs to be changed to "child-added" or whatever I named this signal.18:34
bratscheThen I think it should work.18:34
tedgAh, okay.18:34
tedgseb128, So, yes, an indicator fix is needed :)18:35
tedgbratsche, That should be in libappindicator, correct?18:35
bratscheI don't remember if his code was for libappindicator or for bluetooth now.18:35
seb128tedg, ok, can you try to put that on your friday todolist?18:36
seb128tedg, ie the bug fix day ;-)18:36
tedgseb128, Yup, for sure.  I also want to look at the Python one.  I'm hoping we can fix both.18:36
seb128tedg, thanks!18:36
seb128tedg, the updated gtk is in the ubuntu-desktop ppa if you need it18:37
seb128tedg, lucid build18:37
tedgseb128, Ah, cool, thanks!18:37
seb128tedg, the change is also in maverick for a few days18:37
seb128tedg, thank *you* ;-) and thanks bratsche of courses!18:37
qenseSo it's now all set to be fixed properly at last? Yay!18:39
