| tictacaddict | Hi, I want to write some code for unity, if I can just get as far as buiding it. :) | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| tictacaddict | I'm running Natty right now but a bug in bzr is keeping me from branching unity so far | 01:16 |
| spikeb | not sure if anyone but me is around, might want to check back during the day | 01:18 |
| tictacaddict | hmm, day in what timezone approximately? | 01:19 |
| spikeb | that i'm not sure..CST is mine. | 01:22 |
| spikeb | and one or two of the devs show up during the day,then the rest very late night (the london team, i assume) | 01:22 |
| spikeb | I think people are on holiday at the moment. | 01:22 |
| tictacaddict | ah, I suppose they would be. personally I'm trying to spend a little time on this because I have some extra holiday free time | 01:23 |
| spikeb | all I can do is tell you to keep checking in here every so often, somebody is bound to show up sooner or later | 01:24 |
| spikeb | or perhaps try the mailing list | 01:24 |
| tictacaddict | okay, I'll probably be back again. maybe I'll have more luck in a few days. | 01:26 |
| spikeb | I hope so, new contributors are always a good thing :) | 01:26 |
| tictacaddict | there is a fix out for the bug I'm seeing, so I might be able to just wait until it's packaged/ | 01:27 |
| spikeb | cool | 01:27 |
| tictacaddict | @spikeb How are you involved with unity? | 01:27 |
| tictacaddict | or ubuntu etc | 01:27 |
| spikeb | tictacaddict, i'm a wannabe desginer. i help mostly by participating in design discussions on the mailing list. also, file bugs and whatnot for releases | 01:28 |
| * spikeb is pretty new at this whole game himself | 01:28 | |
| tictacaddict | heh | 01:28 |
| tictacaddict | I've been using Ubuntu for a few years and have always been interested in helping somehow, just never dived in | 01:29 |
| spikeb | that was the case with me up until a few months ago, then i joined the ayatana mailing list and started learning a bunch of design related things. fast forward a bit and we are here. | 01:30 |
| tictacaddict | It seems like there is a big push to get new people involved with this project though, so it seemed like a good place to start | 01:30 |
| spikeb | yeah there is a huge push to get the community involved in Unity. | 01:30 |
| tictacaddict | seems like they can use all the help they can get, with the switch to unity for this cycle | 01:31 |
| tictacaddict | Seems like not everybody is happy about it at this point. :P | 01:32 |
| spikeb | they sure can | 01:32 |
| spikeb | who can blame them, after the disaster that is unity in 10.10? heh | 01:32 |
| tictacaddict | I never used it. I'm pretty much trying it out for the first time | 01:35 |
| tictacaddict | but from what I heard, yeah. there is some reason for concern | 01:35 |
| spikeb | however, the new Unity is already much better than the released version in 10.10. so I'm not overly concerned on that point. | 01:36 |
| tictacaddict | I guess it will be easy to switch back, but I hope that it's good enough by then that I won't want to. :) | 01:42 |
| tictacaddict | To a standard gnome desktop, I mean | 01:42 |
| spikeb | it will be easy to switch back (it'll be a login option). hopefully it will be good enough you wont want to :) | 01:43 |
| spikeb | if the progress already made this cycle is any indication, Unity will be in fine shape come release time. | 01:44 |
| tictacaddict | well I shall be back some other day. nice talking to you, spikeb | 02:16 |
| spikeb | tictacaddict, best of luck! :) | 02:17 |
| tictacaddict | thanks. :) | 02:18 |

| jderose | what is the proper way to update the text in an indicator MenuItem? (from Python) | 06:08 |
| jderose | MenuItem.get_child().set_text('foo') followed by Indicator.set_menu(menu) works, but causes a weird flashing when menu is visible | 06:10 |

| nmarques | I've left a small bug-report for indicator-sound on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/694828. Not sure if it helps upstream, but might be cool for downstreamers | 20:13 |
