ochosimorning everyone09:57
madnickmorning ochosi 10:11
ochosihey nick10:11
ochosiwhat up? :)10:11
madnickNot much, just had lunch :) 10:13
madnicknow it's time to do some work ;)10:13
ochosirighty :)10:13
ochosiwhere are you at?10:13
ochosii mean work-wise10:14
madnickWell, I need to setup a configuration system for the configuration GUI (to not hardcode paths)10:14
madnickAnd then I need to implement the CSS for the greeter10:14
madnickBecause I have implemented all functionallity needed for our theme (but I will also implement all of it) :P10:15
madnickBut for the draft its enough :P10:15
ochosiok cool :)10:20
ochosihave to talked to xfce-devs about the configuration system (xfconf) yet?10:20
madnicknope10:23
madnicki will do that today10:23
ochosiyeah, think that'd be a good starting-point10:24
mr_pouitmadnick: remember that the greeter isn't run by the same user who configures it :>10:42
mr_pouit(so I think a config file in /etc/lightdm + xfce_rc_* from libxfce4util will be simpler than xfconf)10:45
ochosimadnick: mr_pouit just eradicated the need to talk to xfce-devs about xfconf ;)10:47
madnickmr_pouit: thanks :)10:48
madnickmr_pouit: I must ask you in that case, since that would be using a file directly, wouldn't a GKeyFile be just as good? (thats what LightDM itself uses)10:52
mr_pouitof course10:53
madnickokay, thanks :)10:53
madnickochosi: how can i find out the size of a selection in gimp?11:05
ochosimadnick: in the toolbox there's a "position" and "size" section for the rectangle when it's selected11:09
ochosiyou should also be able to modify the values from there if you know how what size the rectangle should be11:10
madnickdoesnt seem to work for stuff i did not select myself :P11:11
madnickgimp always makes me *madder*nick :)11:12
ochosi:)11:13
ochosiwhat do you mean, stuff you didn't select yourself?11:13
madnickwell, i tried to steal some stuff from your xcf11:13
madnickand those are selections when i mark them11:13
madnickbut i dont get the size11:13
ochosiare you sure they're selections?11:15
madnickno :P11:15
ochosii think you might be mixing them up with layer-boundaries11:15
ochosiselections are lost (almost) as soon as you use another tool11:15
madnickhah! I can press "scale layer" and get the size ;)11:16
ochosiyup, what you want is the layer-size :)11:16
ochosik, off for lunch, see you later!11:30
madnickcya11:30
scott-workmicahg: can we start working on the sync from debian stuff later this week?16:06
scott-worki have stuff that i want to get done, some things are taking longer that i hoped, and the end of this week is a US holiday so i'll be more available16:06
ochosiscott-work: iirc you said you have to use a different/modified version of greybird for studio..?16:17
micahgscott-work: sure, but there's not much to do ATM16:17
ochosiand iirc you said you mostly want to change the panels. just wanted to note that you don't have to change the theme to ship a different panel layout16:17
micahgscott-work: err, next week is better :)16:18
micahgfor me at least, alpha freeze will be next week as well, but stuff can be prepared in advance of the alpha1 release to be uploaded upon it's release16:19
micahgs/it's/its/16:19
scott-workmicahg: next week would be even better for me :)16:26
scott-workochosi: it looks like i will be evaluating xubuntu/ubuntustudio themes, UI, etc this week16:27
scott-worki want to understand where the packages are between the two first, then start looking at what we want to change16:27
scott-workochosi: here's my loose plan though16:27
ochosimhm16:27
scott-work1. get ubuntu studio moved over to the greybird theme first, making any small changes that are already known16:27
scott-work2. evaulate16:27
scott-work3. then make other changes as necessary16:28
scott-worksimple, right?  :)16:28
scott-workthere's a maxim i'm trying to incorporate "don't let perfect stand in the way of better"16:28
ochosisounds good16:29
scott-workochosi:  in which package or source is the greybird theme for xubuntu?16:34
* scott-work thinks that many things in xubuntu are included in xubuntu-artwork16:34
ochosiscott-work: it's in murrine-themes16:37
scott-worki think there are two main obstacles for me in this process16:38
scott-work1. my incomplete understanding of exactly how everything is set16:38
scott-work2. the deltas between ubuntu studio and xubuntu on how things are packaged16:38
scott-work#1 i can work through in each instance16:39
scott-workbut #2 is something i think i need to wrap my head around first to make any significant and correct progress16:39
scott-workwhich is what i hope to do this week16:40
ochosiright, unfortunately i'll be little help in those areas16:41
scott-workochosi: if you only provide oversight to make sure i'm not forgetting something largely important, for example not getting the xubuntu icon package, that would probably be more than enough help :)16:42
ochosiok :)16:42
scott-workbut i can't launch into something without getting some organizational or conceptual understanding first...16:43
scott-workso i'll be trying to grasp what all packages are required and hopefully get you to look at them16:43
scott-workthen i can make the collation between the two sets16:43
ochosiscott-work: ok, i can give it a try :)16:52
micahgscott-work: I can help with #2, we'll try to keep diffs to a minimum if possibel17:06
scott-workmicahg: i agree with reducing the delta and this might mean that ubuntu studio might drop a package or two17:08
scott-workbecause it will be rolled into another package17:08
micahgscott-work: huh?  no, seeds can be different, I was talking about in-package diffs17:08
scott-workmicahg: studio has ubuntustudio-sounds but there isn't a xubuntu-sounds package17:10
scott-worki don't currently know that xubuntu has specific sounds or not17:10
micahgI don't think we do17:11
scott-workmy general feeling is that the xubuntu-artwork package creates several binaries that are split out into several packages in studio17:11
scott-workbut i could be wrong though17:11
micahgthere's nothing wrong with that though17:11
scott-workoh, no...not saying anything is wrong, just different implementations that will need to be reconciled17:12
micahgnope, not necessarily17:12
micahgyou're free to do it different in this case17:12
micahgwhichever is easier for you17:12
scott-worki would think sustainability would be to move to the xubuntu paradigm and minimize the delta as we discussed :)17:13
scott-workmicahg: would it be problematic or possible to basically make ubuntustudio-foo simply depend on xubuntu-foo and then also include any delta in the package?17:14
micahgright, that's not delta IMHO17:14
micahgok, I see what you're saying17:14
micahgyou could still do that with it broken out17:15
micahgbut if you have minimal content on your side, consolidation could make sense into a single source 17:15
scott-workmicahg: let me get my head around what is in xubuntu and where and then likewise with ubuntu studio and we can then discuss the perferable options17:20
micahgok17:20
* micahg waves21:00
micahgknome: meeting?21:01
madnickmicahg: 21 utc21:05
micahgmadnick: that's now :)21:05
madnickoh, you are right, i was thinking +1 hour from now :P21:06
knomeugh.21:12
knomewho all is here?21:12
beardygnomewe not having this meeting?21:12
beardygnomeo/21:12
knomei forgot.21:12
Unit193Well, I was about to leave, but I can stick around...21:12
knomecan we just postpone to next week?21:12
knomethere is nothing too important21:13
knomewe can sort all out by email21:13
Unit193Well, what is?21:13
micahgknome: well, review of the roadmap was scheduled, you should either announce an extension or just a delay in reviewing, but let people know when that will be21:13
knomemicahg, there is nothing to review really21:13
micahgknome: which apps should be chosen is a big thing :)21:13
knomemicahg, we're not going to review *those*21:14
knomemicahg, just "it's okay, you can start comparing apps"21:14
micahgknome: when will that review happen?21:14
* micahg was under the impression that would happen today21:15
knomemicahg, well, featuredefinitionfreeze is on thursday...21:15
knomethere's no app comparisons ready21:15
knomewe will keep ristretto as default21:15
knomei had the impression that wasn't the default21:15
knomebut it is21:15
knomeso no need to change that21:15
micahgright, gthumb was made available21:15
knomeyeah.21:15
knomei also thought it was set as default21:16
knomegridcube is working with the media player comparison21:16
knomebut he doesn't seem to be online21:16
knomeand the comparison is far from ready21:16
knomeand tbh, none of the items are something we really need to review21:17
knomeand those that need community discussion, are still in the drafting phase21:18
knomelike "new default shortcuts"21:18
knomedoesn't have to happen before featuredefinitionfreeze21:18
knomeso did everybody disappear ? :P21:18
Unit193Yeppers21:19
knomehmm.21:19
micahgI'm fine with the current set of apps...21:19
knomelet's go through the items super-quickly21:19

micahgthanks knome21:39
knomenp micahg 21:39
knomeand sorry for forgetting21:39
knome:/21:39
knomei knew today would be a bad day21:39
knomebut didn't want to cancel the meeting21:39
pleia2our website sprint went well I think :)21:39
knomebut apparently i should've21:39
knomeyeah.21:39
knomepleia2, forgot that ;]21:39
* micahg thinks it's important that we decide on meeting times so people can add calendar entries21:39
knomeyeah.21:39
knomei don't think we *really* need one meeting per week21:40
micahgpossibly close to feature freeze to make sure we stay on track21:41
micahgbut right now, we probably don't21:41
beardygnomeknome: what frequency do you think we should have?21:41
micahgwe should have one next sunday though to discuss alpha 1 if we're having an image21:41
knomebeardygnome, maybe once per two weeks21:42
knomemicahg, yeah, agreed that once per week makes sense before important freezes21:43
ochosiknome: sry i couldn't attend the meeting21:43
knomehah np21:43
knomethe "meeting"21:43
knome;)21:43
ochosiyeah, just read the backlog :D21:44
ochosihonestly i don't have many updates anyway21:44
mr_pouitgrrmbl /o\21:44
ochosiand you know about most of them21:44
knomehahah21:44
knomei just can't remember...21:44
mr_pouit(sorry for not being here for the meeting)21:44
knomeif people want to add items for the team updates, we can add them now21:45
knomeerr21:45
knomehahah21:45
knome"project leader changes"21:45
knomesounds good21:45
knomethat's true but it sounds a bit wrong...21:45
beardygnomeright guys, i'm off.  will keep an eye on the ml for the next meeting time21:46
knomeanybody want to add team updates?21:51
knomeochosi, ? madnick, ?21:51
knomei'll update the team report, so if there are things done, i'd like to get them in21:52
ochosiwell the greeter is in progress and the settings UI for lightdm is finalized21:52
ochosiand bluebird gtk3 is in progress21:53
ochosibut didn't get very far up to now21:53
knomepleia2, ACTION: pleia2 to send email about next sprint time 21:55
pleia2:)21:56
knometeam updates added to this months reports 21:57
ochosiodd, nm-applet doesn't seem to work anymore here22:00
ochosiat least i can't see it in the indicator area22:00
micahgmr_pouit: BTW, abiword has been orphaned, do you want to adopt w/me?22:00
micahgsomeone else already said they'd help also in debian bug 64834122:01
ubottuDebian bug 648341 in wnpp "O: abiword -- efficient, featureful word processor with collaboration" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/64834122:01
knomehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap22:01
knomethere is * in the assignee field for items that need community approval before committing changes to repositories22:02
knomedo you think any other one should have that?22:02
mr_pouitmicahg: I don't use it at all (I only open and close it when I test daily lives, or to check that greybird looks nice everywhere ;-)22:09
micahgI don't use it either :(22:09
micahgwas just thinking since it's seeded for us that we might want to maintain in Debian22:10
micahgotherwise, w/out a proper maintainer, maybe we should look for another word processor22:10
mr_pouityeah :/ (I maintained in Debian some packages I didn't even use a few years ago, and it wasn't my smartest move -- like, orphaning them after six months…)22:12
mr_pouitmaybe we could consider libreoffice…22:12
micahgwe don't have 60MB, we'd have to drop something like GIMP...22:13
micahgor all the langpacks22:13
mr_pouitwell, if the "new" maintainer in 648341 wants to set up a team, I can help though22:14
mr_pouit(since I guess we want to keep gimp & langpacks:p)22:18
knomeboo22:34
knomethe wiki is slow22:34
knomemr_pouit, i'm all for changing gimp to an easier to use app, as long as it has some core features...22:35
knomemicahg, can you ask GridCube what he meant with that?22:36
* micahg hopes he's subscribed to the ML and will reply :)22:36
mr_pouitReintegrate the update manager to the notification area22:37
mr_pouitknome: ^22:37
mr_pouityou mean, instead of having update-manager that randomly pops up and takes focus?22:38
micahgonly does that for me on unity...22:38
mr_pouit(if yes, then it's a consequence of the port to gsettings: we set a gconf key to ensure that, but I 'forgot' to migrate it to gsettings)22:39
mr_pouitonly new oneiric installs are affected I think (older ones will have the gconf settings migrated automagically)22:39
micahgthat would explain it for me :)22:40
knomelol, okay22:40
knomemr_pouit, will you just fix that anyway?22:40
mr_pouityou can assign it to me yeah, it's just a one line fix in xubuntu-default-settings22:41
knomemr_pouit, well, i'll just remove the irem22:41
knome*item22:41
knomemr_pouit, is there a bug for that?22:42
mr_pouitno (afaik)22:43
knomeokay22:43
mr_pouitwith gconf it was /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch, does anyone know what is it with gsettings now?22:43
mr_pouit /com/ubuntu/update-notifier/auto-launch ?22:44
mr_pouit(committed in bzr for xubuntu-default-settings, should be part of the next upload -- when more changes are included)22:49
knomeheh, thanks :)22:49
knomethat's quick22:49
mr_pouit(now that I restored the old behavior) micahg has a point too22:52
mr_pouitif there's an indicator and it works fine, maybe we want it instead?22:53
mr_pouit(unless it's integrated in indicator-session, or anything specific like that)22:53
micahgwe already have it :)22:53
micahgor at least I do on my oneiric machine22:53
knomehmm22:55
knome:)22:55
knomei don't know about that22:55
knomefeel free to add a more fitting blueprint item22:55
