mhall119tgm4883: around?16:58
tgm4883mhall119, yes16:58
mhall119cool, let me see if I can get bobweaver in16:58
jhodapphey tgm488316:59
tgm4883o/16:59
tgm4883hmm, I might be unavailable for a few minutes17:00
tgm4883someone's transferring a vendor call to me17:00
mhall119tgm4883: no worries, let us know when  you're back17:00
mhall119we'll wait a bit for bobweaver anyway17:00
mhall119I've PM'd him17:00
tgm4883ok i'm back17:13
mhall119ok, I'm not sure if bobweaver is around, so we can talk to him later17:18
jhodapphere17:18
mhall119tgm4883: so basically I wanted to give you a heads-up about the plans for community involvement in the TV project during the next cycle17:19
tgm4883ok17:19
mhall119jhodapp and I have been working for a while now to get together a bunch of documentation and design specs that we can make public17:19
mhall119which we've finally gotten17:19
mhall119so for the 13.04 cycle, we want the community to have a more direct involvement in the TV development17:20
tgm4883yea that would be nice :)17:20
mhall119so there are a few main areas of focus that I think you and bobweaver can take a lead in17:21
jhodappindeed17:21
mhall119the first is work on re-creating the TV UI in NUX and Unity3d17:22
mhall119I'm hoping that bobweaver will take this on, given the cool stuff he did in Qt and Unity2d17:22
tgm4883yep, sounds like a good thing for him to work on17:23
mhall119We would also like to see a MythTV backend, that would feed into TV and Movie lenses things that you have in your MythTV database17:23
tgm4883On it :)17:23
mhall119which I'm hoping you can help with17:23
mhall119I'm not sure right now how you could feed TV guide listings into Unity, it may take some changes to the API to support that, but if we can get it too all the better17:24
tgm4883That's something I've been working on kinda on and off along with some other projects17:24
tgm4883Yea, we've got alot of stuff available via MythTV that we can tap into17:24
jhodapptgm4883, if you need help with the Unity aspect, ask me or in #ubuntu-unity17:24
mhall119the last major component we'd like is video acceleration support in GStreamer, there's already some work going on upstream around that, but I think it's a good opportunity for someone with the knowledge and skills to contribute to making the TV rock17:25
mhall119yeah, a lot of the work is going ot be done in Unity itself, so you and bobweaver will need to get friendly with those developers, especially guys like gord, tedg and mhr317:25
jhodappThe benefit of doing this helps not only the TV project, but also brings acceleration to Totem for the Ubuntu desktop by default which is a welcome addition17:26
mhall119tgm4883: so we have a session at UDS where we can work out the details, schedule and roadmaps for this work17:27
tgm4883sweet17:27
mhall119http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-r/meeting/21146/community-r-tv-development/17:27
mhall119and jhodapp is going to put everything we just talked about into a blog post, with links to the design spec and NUX documentation and so forth17:27
tgm4883awesome17:28
tgm4883are all the tv sessions planned for UDS already?17:28
mhall119and last but certainly not least, I'd like to see more people join in on this development, so I'd like both you and bobweaver to act as mentors to anbody who wants to get started17:28
mhall119tgm4883: only one session for now, we can add another later in the week if we decide we want it17:29
tgm4883ok17:29
mhall119any questions?17:30
tgm4883I don't think so, I'll have more once we start digging into mythtv scopes and such17:31
mhall119ok17:31
tgm4883mostly regarding lenses and what content we can push that way17:31
mhall119tgm4883: mhr3 in #ubuntu-unity is my go-to person for questions about lenses and scopes17:32
tgm4883it's just pretty difficult to do much right now as everything is internal17:32
mhall119I'm also fairly knowledgeable too, so you can ask me17:32
jhodapptgm4883, he's my go-to person as well17:32
mhall119tgm4883: do you have a link to the work you've been doing to integrate MythTV that jhodapp can include in the blog post?17:50
tgm4883mhall119, I work with jhodapp on the weekly update blog post each week18:18
tgm4883the info there is going to be the most recent, although I still need to fix it from some unity change that broke it18:18
mhall119tgm4883: is it enough for someone who is interested to start helping you?18:18
tgm4883hmm18:19
tgm4883well it links to the code branch I think, and my info is there for people to contact me18:19
tgm4883but it's not exactly a "this is what you can do to help with the mythtv scope" thing18:19
mhall119ok18:19
mhall119tgm4883: I think that's good enough for now, but a blog post about "this is what you can do to help" after UDS might be helful18:20
tgm4883will do18:20
mhall119thanks18:20
tgm4883I need to probably rewrite the entire scope anyway, right now it's based off an early youtube scope that I reverse engineered a long time ago18:21
jhodapphehe18:25
jhodappnice18:25
popeyi like the idea of us getting more community commits :)18:36
jhodapppopey, me too :)18:38
