seb128hey16:02
seb128sorry, I'm a bit late, having another of those crazy fridays... ;-)16:03
seb128ogra_, hey, did you guys start?16:03
ogra_oh, i totally forgot16:04
ogra_no, nobody started (and i doubt anyone but us is here)16:04
seb128k16:04
seb128I was wondering if it makes sense to still keep those meeting16:04
seb128or maybe we should retarget/refocus them16:04
ogra_and i dont really have much to report, i worked a bit with Riddell on kubuntu active images16:04
seb128yeah, week was crazy with other stuff for me as well16:05
ogra_yeah, i doubt many people are still intrested after ubuntu touch released16:05
seb128ubuntu touch, UDS preparation, rolling release discussions16:05
ogra_yeah16:05
ogra_same here16:05
ogra_its probably intresting to know where we will go with this image though16:05
seb128ogra_, seems it would be good to a weekly checkpoint for ubuntu touch work though?16:05
ogra_do you have any idea about plans ?16:05
seb128no16:06
seb128I hope we have better ideas after next week UDS16:06
ogra_++ (though that needs to be coordinated with rsalveti i think)16:06
seb128ok16:06
ogra_let me chek if he has a moment to drop by here16:06
seb128or let's just skip this one16:07
ogra_ok16:07
seb128and do a "where do we go" next week after UDS16:07
seb128I will email ubuntu-devel@ to say that16:07
ogra_ok, thanks a lot16:07
seb128np!16:07
ogra_:)16:07
rsalveti+!16:08
rsalveti+1 :-)16:08
rsalvetifor some reason I'm not receiving emails from ubuntu-devel anymore...16:09
ogra_you probably do to much management nowadays ... do you get mails from ubuntu-management instead ?16:10
ogra_:)16:10
rsalvetiogra_: lol16:11
rsalvetiogra_: same thing happened with Ursinha, no emails since feb 2616:19
rsalvetiannoying, since I'm not getting anything from the rolling release discussion :-)16:19
Ursinhausing the mailing list archive to follow the discussion, annoying indeed16:19
xnoxogra_: seb128: well I had an automatic presseding blog post + upstart support to reboot back into fastboot mode. So one can fully automate flashing into/from phablet back to core image. (e.g. reboot -f recovery to get into clockwork recovery)16:45
xnoxapart from that, there is a spec to integrate phablet deploy into usb-creator that I am aware of, and that's it.16:45
ogra_rsalveti, odd16:56
ogra_xnox, well, i assume the final phablet images will actually use oem-config so thats a good thing we will re-use16:57

CrestedNewttgm4883 - mhall119 can;t make it I'm afraid. Bobweaver isn't here either :(18:02
tgm4883this is all true18:02
CrestedNewtWell not much to talk about but do you want me to start this?18:04
tgm4883CrestedNewt, go ahead and start it.18:04

CrestedNewtOK, who is present for this meeting on Ubuntu TV?18:05
tgm4883o/18:05
CrestedNewtME!18:05
CrestedNewtOK, well it's just the 2 of us - reminds me of a song :D18:06
tgm4883Bohemian Raphosody?18:07
CrestedNewtFrom my end - ARM have failed to respond to me requesting info on a manufacturer in upstate NY for bobweaver.18:07
CrestedNewttw8 - will find the artist :D18:07
CrestedNewtBill Withers!!18:08
CrestedNewttgm4883 - do you know the status of bobweaver and the project?18:08
tgm4883So from the Mythbuntu camp. We've been working on a quick start quide for setting up the backend portion. We've got a rough draft, but haven't found many people that want to review it18:09
CrestedNewtWhat can I do?18:09
tgm4883Review it, make sure it makes sense.18:09
tgm4883You could go though the install, even if you don't have a tv tuner card18:10
CrestedNewtOK, is this the latest branch?18:10
tgm4883sec, let me grab the link18:10
tgm4883https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eGJ8gGtRqFxQ8xVWlR6XgP6FAFJEVZ-Ntq_TT8XhWEs/edit?usp=sharing18:10
tgm4883Note, that is the SHORT version that cuts out all the steps you don't need to change anything on (although I need to add transistional phrases for that)18:11
CrestedNewtOK, I'll print this out and do the install18:11
tgm4883This is the long version that includes every screen18:12
tgm4883https://docs.google.com/document/d/19knOlqz8cV5_8VQ1tCvEd8tjEk6U50KsSOJCROR60o4/edit?usp=sharing18:12
tgm4883The long version is 29 pages, so if we can make the short version make sense, I like it much better18:12
CrestedNewtOK, I will make some time and install it probably on Monday.18:13
tgm4883bobweaver status: he says he has left the project (and Ubuntu development in general). I believe this to be the case and that he will not be back18:13
CrestedNewtsuch a shame! :(18:13
tgm4883Ubuntu TV Status:18:13
tgm4883Officially, there are apparently people inside canonical working on it18:13
CrestedNewtWell without Bobweaver.... Status is DEAD IN THE WATER18:14
CrestedNewtI sent this to bobweaver earlier in the week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OyW6DO6gck18:14
tgm4883Unofficially, I think the project is failing and without clear direction18:14
CrestedNewtagreed. I may try and talk to popey on the phone or G Hangout with him18:14
tgm4883That said, the Mythbuntu team will continue to develop our parts of the project, because A) we said we would, and B) what we are contributing can be used in regular Ubuntu Unity18:15
CrestedNewtIf there are ppl in Canonical working on this, we need to get them in here so that we know what is happening.18:16
tgm4883I don't think that will happen18:16
CrestedNewtI MUST Download MYTHBUNTU18:16
CrestedNewtOK, so do we know what they are working on and what progress is being made?18:17
tgm4883no18:17
CrestedNewtwhat 'pot holes' are there?18:17
CrestedNewtetc etc18:17
tgm4883my gut feeling is that they are working on ubuntu touch, and that there is some overlap (eg. qml type stuff)18:17
CrestedNewtOK, phone is sexy and it has stolen the show at the conference, but seeing that I am not a 'coder' I can't help too much in the development.18:18
CrestedNewtHowever, if MYTH can be fully integrated into Unity, that is at least a way forward.18:19
tgm4883Yes, scopes integrate quite well into Unity. The issue was getting Unity to be a 10' interface18:19
CrestedNewtOK. A 10' display is not what most people have in their homes. great for 'billboards' etc but the target audience in my mind is home users18:21
tgm488310' interface, not 10' display18:21
tgm4883http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-foot_user_interface18:21
tgm4883eg. you can comfortably operate it 10' away18:21
CrestedNewtAHHH!! misunderstood that so I have learnt something new today18:22
CrestedNewtOK, as a slight side issue.... what about using something like RDP (remote desktop) from a phone/tablet/laptop?18:23
CrestedNewtor even having an apache web browser with appropriate commands that could be used from smartphone etc?18:24
tgm4883you mean for control?18:24
CrestedNewtyes18:24
tgm4883doable, but better with an actual remote control18:24
tgm4883the hurdle is getting Unity to a usable 10' display from a UX perspective18:25
tgm4883well, and the backing code as well18:25
CrestedNewtbut for utilising the search facility, it would be better to have a keyboard rather than using txt-ing :D OK, understand that18:26
tgm4883yes. Either a remote control with keyboard, or the ability to search on phone/tablet and play on screen18:26
tgm4883or having a good onscreen search utility18:27
tgm4883Unity actually would work fairly well for that18:27
tgm4883since it does instant search18:27
CrestedNewtyep but that isn't really what you are on about - let me have some thinging time18:27
CrestedNewtas in what I said - I'm on about thinking about the UX18:28
CrestedNewtI can try a few things out as we have a large screen in our living room and it is over 10' away18:29
tgm4883What bobweaver had done previously would work well18:29
tgm4883there is also a design spec for Ubuntu TV that was good18:29
CrestedNewtI did ask Popey for a copy of that, but as yet....18:30
CrestedNewtnothing18:30
tgm4883I can get you a copy of that18:31
CrestedNewtyou should have my details from G+18:31
tgm4883http://ubuntuone.com/1AmekwFL9IjJlfuc7Twl7m18:31
tgm4883it's a PDF18:31
CrestedNewtsuperb!!18:32
tgm4883I like to think popey was doing his work to ensure that was ok to share publicly18:32
tgm4883but it's already been shared publicly by the Ubuntu TV team via their blog18:32
CrestedNewtOK, so then it's ok for me to have it.18:33
tgm4883yep18:33
tgm4883For reference, it was originally posted here18:33
tgm4883http://www.doadjustyourset.com/2012/10/18/call-for-more-active-community-participation/18:33
CrestedNewtI don't want to cause problems but I just want to get this on track. I have shown the demo to a few 'high end'installers and they are really interested18:34
CrestedNewtEven if version 1 is a STB, so be it, at least it gets it out there18:34
CrestedNewtAfter that, with the buzz from the phone, it should make people sit up18:35
CrestedNewtand take notice18:35
CrestedNewtOK, so this is what I will do for next week18:38
CrestedNewt#action crestednewt Go through Documentation from tgm4883 and check both long and short versions18:39
meetingologyACTION: crestednewt Go through Documentation from tgm4883 and check both long and short versions18:39
CrestedNewtanything else?18:39
tgm4883nope, that looks good18:39
CrestedNewtokay, on that note I think that we are done here. If Canonical are doing things internally and we are not aware of it, I'm not sure about what we do as a community moving forwards18:41
CrestedNewtor even if we are to be involved18:41
tgm4883CrestedNewt, pretty much my thoughts exactly18:41
CrestedNewtI got the feeling a couple of weeks ago that things are changing internally but the direction has yet to be decided. those are my feelings18:42
CrestedNewtuntil these issues are resolved, I think that this as a 'separate project' is stuck in the water without a rudder18:43
CrestedNewtbecause if things change again, people like bobweaver will not want to participate18:43
CrestedNewtnever mind. I'll let you know during the week how things went with the install18:44
CrestedNewton that note, are you happy that this meeting is closed?18:44
CrestedNewtOK, meeting ended - thanks tgm4883! :D18:47
