czajkowskino idea how I eneded up with 15 versions though10:16

cprofittjcastro: can you change a LP team to delegated15:17
cprofitthttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-etherpad15:17
cprofittI think this is causing the loco teams to have to be moderated15:18
cprofittscott-work: I have one of those this week.. my daughter has a band concert the same night of my lug meeting15:20
scott-workhi jorge, i read about your standing up table thingie15:21
scott-workinteresting, but i couldn't do it because of slightly flat feet15:21
scott-workand my time in the marine corps didn't help that either15:21
cprofittyeah... I was straight-leg infantry while in the Army... have all sorts of feet issues today15:22
scott-workcprofitt: the interesting thing is that i didn't really even see most of her performance as i get delegated watching my adhd 4 year old son :P15:22
cprofittI have two little ones that will be going as well... I am usually delegated as the 'gate keeper'15:22
cprofittneither are adhd, but they can get quite... ah... distracted15:23
cprofittwhen they are bored15:23
scott-workoh yeah, two are defintely more than the sum of the parts ;)15:24

jcastroFo sho15:35
jcastroare omg interested in server stuff?15:36
mhall119$20 says someone in the comments thread about Juju/Cloud complains about Unity15:36
jcastroof course15:37
jcastro"why is canonical spending time on this when they could be improving unity!"15:37
cprofittthose are the same people that do not eat balanced diets15:37
cprofittthey have meat15:37
cprofittor they have vegetables15:37
cprofittbut not both15:37
mhall119lol15:37
cprofitt:-)15:37
scott-workmhall119: lol15:39
mhall119Whenever I see those comments, in my mind I read "Unity sucks, Canonical should drop Unity in favor of Gnome3, also Gnome3 should be made to look and work exactly like Gnome2, and Gnome2 should be more like Windows, and Windows sux, Linux rulz! Oh God someone please pay attention to me!"15:40
czajkowskimhall119: and this is why I dont' read OMG15:40
mhall119it's run when you read it like that15:40

jcastroczajkowski: yeah but the whole internet is like that15:53
jcastrogreg-g: I can't believe you're a dad dude!15:55
akgranergreg-g, Congratulations!15:55
czajkowskijcastro: aye tis bad on the internet but it is a lot worse on OMG15:55
jcastronot any worse than the ubuntu subreddit15:56
jcastrohave you seen the forums lately?15:56
czajkowskinope not really a forums person. trying to find answers there15:56
mhall119jcastro: I don't know if it makes me feel better or worse that the Gnome3 guys get the same quantity and quality of whining as we do15:57
jcastromhall119: this all happened when GNOME 2 came out15:57
snap-lWhy are you all talking in IRC? Unity needs work!15:57
jcastroit's just the usual rage quitting internet guy15:57
jcastroPeople used to get this upset because the gnome panel in gnome 2.x didn't support things like the ability to set the panel background to be cheese like in 1.x15:58
jcastroand by cheese I mean, the dairy product15:58
mhall119heh15:58
snap-ljcastro: I still miss that.15:58
jcastroyes, in GNOME 1.x you could set the panel to look like swiss cheese15:58
snap-land by miss that, I mean I completely forgot that you could do that.15:58
mhall119an important usability feature, to be sure15:59
jcastronow looking back you're like "wow how stupid, people would rather have the old fonts and cheese than a designed desktop."15:59
snap-ljcastro: I'm sure someone out there pines for FVWM16:00
snap-lor even TWM16:00
mhall119sawfish16:00
jcastroI thought that was you craig16:00
jcastro:)16:00
snap-ljcastro: Windowmaker.16:00
jcastro<3 windowmaker16:00
snap-lWhy Unity no support Windowmaker no more?16:01
jcastroI ran it some of last cycle16:01
jcastroit's not as awesome as you remember it.16:01
mhall119nothing ever is16:01
snap-ljcastro: All I remember was that rockin' digital clock16:01
AlanBelljust wish the designers would design the desktop for more use cases16:01
snap-lbut I still ran it next to GNOME16:01
snap-lAlanBell: More use cases = ?16:02
jcastroI will be happy with a config tool16:02

mhall119I need a cruise16:13
jonothanks jcastro!16:13
jonook, my turn16:13
jono * Off work for two days last week, so less done this week than usual.16:13
jono * Usual team meetings. Daniel is off work this week for a few days.16:13
jonoI am looking at ways to slim down my call list16:13
jonoit is getting a bit out of hand16:13
jono * Finalized all the team's vacation over the remainder of the year.16:14
jono * Canonical's travel has been locked down a little, so coordinated over event planning for 2012.16:14
jono * Burndown looking great, metrics are looking in good shape.16:14
jono * Finalized QA candidate. Nicholas Skaggs joins in Jan 2012. Coordinated his paperwork as well as his travel to Budapest in Jan for the rally.16:15
jonoI am looking forward to having our QA horsemen on board16:15
jono * Continued discussion of Qt and where it fits into the Canonical roadmap.16:15
jono* Working with the design team so we can share the Accessibility Designs with the Ubuntu Accessibility community team.16:15
jonoAlanBell, Pendulum ^16:15
jono:-)16:15
jonothese are mainly a11y config settings dialogs16:16
jono * Gathered LoCo Council plans for 12.04 and released them.16:16
jono * Been looking into MyApps and how this is resourced. Thanks dpm for the help.16:16
jonoalso on this front, I am worried about the performance of the ARB too - we are not seeing apps getting through16:16
jonoso I have been looking into this with dpm and dholbach16:16
jono * Started work to encourage wider blogging from Canonical staff to discuss their work.16:17
jonoreached out to the exec team to participate and set a good example16:17
jono * Meetings with Will Cooke to discuss how we the community can participate in the Ubuntu on TV project.16:17
jonoI am working on an interview with him too, should be interesting16:17
jonoand finally....16:17
jono * Will be off work on Wed and Thu this week (working on The Art of Community again).16:17
jonoany questions?16:17
mhall119do you know who (if anyone) is working on the Ubuntu Phone project?16:18
mhall119there's quite a bit of overlap between the community involved with that and TV16:18
jcastroI don't have a question as much as a comment.16:18
jonomhall119, I am not aware of much going on with that16:19
jonojcastro, comment?16:19
jcastrowrt the ARB: I wanted to point out this thread: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-app-devel/2011-December/000047.html16:19
jonoI saw that16:19
jonoand this is something I am looking into16:19
* jcastro nods16:19
jonoalso...to be clear...the ARB is not a training school for Debian or Ubuntu development16:20
jono:-)16:20
AlanBellwould like to talk further about the design team and accessibility16:20
jonoAlanBell, I will follow up over email16:20
jonoany other questions?16:20
jcastrojono: well, he knows how to do all of that, the issue is that app developers want USC to be like the android market, and we kind of market it that way16:21
jcastrobut it's not like that at all16:21
jonojcastro, that is the whole point16:21
jonothe ARB should be the review team that lets apps in16:21
jcastrobut this is a long drawn out discussion that we don't need to do now, I just wanted to make sure someone had seen that thread,16:21
jonoOpen Source apps16:21
jonojcastro, oh believe me, it has been seen ;-)16:21
dpmjcastro, yeah, we're aware, I asked Mario to post the question on the mailing list16:22
jcastrofor example, for the AU lens we were just told to put it in the distro16:22
jcastroand go through the backports process16:22
jonojcastro, by who?16:22
jcastroI don't recall the person offhand16:22
jonook16:22
jcastrobut I can investigate16:22
jonook, I think we have a wrap16:23

AlanBellmhall119: this is the epic fail I was mentioning before the meeting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/85553216:24
ubot2Launchpad bug 855532 in unity "Keyboard shotcut - Add keyboard shortcut hint overlay that is displayed when a user presses and holds the Super key" [High,In progress]16:24
AlanBellit is a really pretty looking overlay when holding the super button with all the keyboard shorcuts on it, highly valuable information to screen reader users and by design completely inaccessible16:25
AlanBellI would like the design team to actually spend an hour or so using orca, maybe a little training workshop on it16:27
AlanBellthen they could with no additional effort design the desktop to sound as pretty as it looks16:27
mhall119AlanBell: sounds good, but the last time I tried to use Orca is failed miserably and made everything unusably slow too16:27
AlanBellworks fine for me on an atom processor under oneiric and precise16:28
* bkerensa facepalms at Royal Mail16:28
AlanBellhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/orca.out is what orca says when going through the ubiquity installer. It is not pretty.16:29
mhall119AlanBell: last time I tried I think I was on a P4, with Lucid or Maverick16:29
AlanBelltime to try again then :)16:29
mhall119probably16:30
mhall119but the experience didn't exactly motivate me to work hard on making things Orca accessible16:30
AlanBellgood job you don't need to use it full time then16:31
AlanBellI have a dummy speech dispatcher plugin that I am going to make easier to use that instead of passing to the speech synth outputs to a file in /tmp16:31
AlanBellthe idea being that it is easy to get a transcript of the output for filing bugs16:32
mhall119AlanBell: my point was that I *wanted* to make stuff accessible, but found the experience of trying to test accessibility discouraging16:32
mhall119AlanBell: is there any way of setting up automated testing for accessibility?16:33
AlanBellyes, most automated testing uses the accessibility apis16:43
AlanBellwhich is why ubiquity was reading out internal widget lables all through oneiric dev cycle16:44
jcastro<--- lunching16:45
mhall119AlanBell: so can accessibility test cases be added to the shortcuts overlay codebase?16:45
mhall119specifically, would they catch the "can't navigate the widgets while holding down Super"16:46
mhall119use case16:46
AlanBellno16:46
AlanBellbecause it is broken by design16:46
mhall119ok16:46
AlanBellthe design is that the overlay does not accept focus16:47
mhall119ok, I understand now16:47
mhall119what's the reason for it not accepting focus?16:48
AlanBellprettier not to I guess16:49
mhall119focus isn't necessarily a visual thing though is it?16:49
AlanBellnot really and orca can wander about windows reading stuff separate from the input cursor position16:50
mhall119ok16:50
AlanBellhowever it can't get any context in that window16:50
jcastrojono: heya18:47
jcastrojono: if you've got time today post-lunch, I'd like to have a quick call18:47
jonojcastro, np18:53

jonomhall119, can I call your phone?21:27
