[07:01] <dholbach> good morning
[09:56] <Malin> my project finally got built, can someone check if this lens now meets the arb-requirements? https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/782/
[09:56] <Malin> https://code.launchpad.net/~malinkb
[10:04] <dpm> hi Malin, I'm not a member of the ARB, but here are a couple of suggestions after looking at your app:
[10:04] <dpm> - I'd suggest adding icons in all sizes
[10:05] <dpm> - There are a few typos in the long description e.g. 'lense', I'd suggest running a spell checker and editing it
[10:09] <Malin> ah, I see. I should fix the typos
[10:09] <Malin> hm, so what other sizes do I need?
[10:11] <Malin> ah, I should have 128x128, 32x32 and 16x16, but why?
[10:11] <dpm> they are shown in different places, but I don't know exactly which
[10:12] <Malin> yeah, cause the lens it self needs 64x64 only
[10:12] <Malin> but if it needs different sizes for the software center, I should add larger and smaler of course
[10:12] <dpm> yeah
[10:13] <dpm> Malin, and I think there is no need to add the link to the homepage in the description, that is already shown in the software center as a link from the home page field you fill in as part of the submission process
[10:17] <Malin> oki
[10:17] <Malin> so I should remove the link to the launchpad-project-page?
[10:20] <dpm> in the description, yes, but not on the other field :)
[10:35] <Malin> ah, oki
[10:35] <dpm> very cool lens, btw :)
[10:35] <Malin> hm, I uploaded more icons, but the 128x128 became unsharp :S
[10:35] <Malin> ah, you think so? thanx
[10:36] <Malin> I want to implement some few new features to it
[10:37] <Malin> there is a realtime-service available, so I need access to an api for it, then it wil present realtime info for the busstop you are going to travel from :)
[10:46] <Malin> But first step is complete. The lens, works. The second thing is to get it into software center
[10:46] <Malin> then I can improve it
[12:33] <dpm> Malin, http://askubuntu.com/questions/141594/where-are-the-different-app-icon-sizes-submitted-through-the-app-developer-site
[12:34] <dpm> Malin, I would ping someone from the ARB to review it, or send an e-mail to ubuntu-app-devel(AT)lists(DOT)ubuntu(DOT)com
[12:42] <Malin> dpm: oki :) thanx
[12:42] <dpm> yw :)
[12:43] <Malin> I have to put in a newer link to source code i think
[12:48] <Malin> hm. dosen't work
[12:49] <Malin> :(
[12:51] <Malin> ah, it have to be admitted first :)
[16:43] <mhall119> ajmitch: has wendar been around lately?
[16:43] <ajmitch> not that I've seen
[16:46] <mhall119> she has a work item for writing an ARB backend for pkgme
[16:47] <mhall119> but I don't know what she was planning, as i don't think it's possible to do that
[16:47] <ajmitch> right, she was making good progress on that one at UDS
[16:47] <ajmitch> why don't you think it's possible?
[16:47] <mhall119> because the backends are source-specific, not destination specific
[16:47] <mhall119> I can see an ARB+python backend, and an ARB+cmake backend
[16:48] <mhall119> but not just one single ARB backend
[16:48] <ajmitch> right, we talked about the ARB backend calling the other backends
[16:48] <mhall119> oh, ok...
[16:48] <ajmitch> the ARB backend would get used because of the extra info passed through from the myapps site
[16:48] <mhall119> hmmm, too bad backends are script, not objects
[16:49] <ajmitch> yeah
[16:49] <mhall119> python's polymorphism would have made that task easier
[16:49] <ajmitch> currently it just calls one backend, rther than chaining them together, so it has to be done manually
[16:49] <ajmitch> but as james_w suggested, you can have a backend run pkgme again
[16:50] <mhall119> recursively calling pkgme?
[16:50] <ajmitch> so once we get the ARB queue under control again, I'll need to catch up with you on some of the developer.u.c documentation
[16:50] <ajmitch> yep
[16:51] <mhall119> sure, I think most of the stuff I need for developer.u.c is already on your wikis, I just need to know which ones to use
[16:51] <ajmitch> there's also the API documentation stuff to look at
[16:51] <mhall119> what do you mean?
[16:51] <ajmitch> not quite as related, but I've got work items for that
[16:51] <mhall119> oh, finding outdated links?
[16:52] <ajmitch> the GDN frontend
[16:52] <mhall119> oh, right
[16:52] <ajmitch> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-q-platform-docs
[16:52] <mhall119> yeah, we'll probably want to do a hangout or something to discuss our plans for that
[16:52] <ajmitch> ok
[16:52] <mhall119> I need to get that gdn code and poke around at it too
[16:53]  * ajmitch has branched it, looked at it brielfy, but didn't do much at all in the week after uds 
[16:53] <mhall119> as we'll need to pick that or RTD before doing any front-end work
[16:53] <ajmitch> cursed ubuflu
[16:54] <dpm> hey ajmitch, recovered from ubuflu already?
[16:54] <ajmitch> mostly
[16:54] <dpm> good to hear that :)
[16:56] <ajmitch> seems like we almost forgot it's the last friday of the month this week, I'd better mail the list & see if people are around for a meeting
[16:57] <dpm> hey, may I ask you guys to review the app I sent at https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/874/ ? I'd like to write a series of blog posts about how it got started and how it got to the USC, and it'd be awesome if it were available in the SC when I write the first post. Should be easy to review: it's a quickly app andrewsomething had already a look at it and I merged his packaging changes
[16:58] <ajmitch> I can try & look at it this weekend if someone else doesn't get to it
[16:58] <ajmitch> firstly I need to get the AU lens in, along with catching up on some others :)
[16:59] <dpm> cool, thanks
[17:00] <ajmitch> ok, motu meeting is over, I'm going to try & get a couple of hours more sleep :)
[17:00]  * ajmitch will be around later
[23:43] <ajmitch> darn, no dpm around still
[23:43] <ajmitch> mhall119: if you're around, is it ok to change the visibility on http://developer.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=99&action=edit to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntudeveloperportal/+bug/968235 ?
[23:45] <mhall119> ajmitch: I'm not sure what's being done on there
[23:45] <mhall119> did you write the page, or just making changes to it?
[23:46] <mhall119> or does it just need to be made public?
[23:46] <ajmitch> I didn't write it or make changes, I was hoping to catch dpm to ask if it was inadvertantly left as private
[23:46] <ajmitch> afaict it just needs to be made public
[23:46] <ajmitch> but I didn't want to just do so without checking with someone
[23:46] <mhall119> hmmm, it looks out of date now
[23:48] <mhall119> yeah, lots of that is too old to be helpful
[23:49] <mhall119> ajmitch: maybe it would be better to just change the link that points there to point to http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/ instead
[23:50] <ajmitch> ok
[23:53] <ajmitch> assuming it'll let me edit
[23:53] <ajmitch> I think I'll leave it until later
