t1mpyes we want more applications. It is really cool to see apps that make use of our sdk :) And without applications, having an SDK is pointless14:14
zyga-udscan we develop desktop apps with ubuntu widgets14:17
zyga-udsah14:17
zyga-udshow soon, we need to rewrite a gui soon14:17
zyga-udsit's a purely desktop app14:18
zyga-udscan we write qt5 + python apps?14:18
* zyga-uds asks too many questions14:18
zyga-udsok, I have to check this14:18
kenvandinethe next gwibber release for raring will be qt5 with ubuntu sdk... and that's for the desktop :)14:19
Mirvthe last time I checked, PySide/PyQt didn't yet support Qt 5, but I may be wrong14:19
zyga-udsour current app is qt4 + cpp but it really talks to python for everything in the backend14:19
Mirvzyga-uds: actually correction, PyQt supports Qt 514:20
zyga-udsI think we are sold on the concept, just trying to figure out how to approach that and if we should participate next week14:20
zyga-udsthanks14:20
kenvandinedholbach!14:20
kenvandine:-D14:20
zyga-udsMirv: thanks, that's very importnat14:20
kenvandinesure14:20
zyga-udsimportant14:20
dholbachis anyone of you interested in giving a session next week?14:21
zyga-udshow long is the event planned to be?14:23
dholbach https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSDKDays/Prep14:23
zyga-udsthanks14:23
netcurlidholbach: yeah, I can do something, like I wrote in my email, however, since I am a qml newbie, I don't know how good my qml style is14:24
zyga-udsI would love to see a desktop / python3 session but I'm not ready to lead that as my qt5 knowledge is minimal14:24
netcurli:)14:26
arajoin #ubuntu-uds-servercloud-114:27
Mirvyep, obviously I can be helping with installing and configuring of the SDK14:28
schwarzburgI would love to hear something about structuring qml apps to ensure maintainability (e.g. reusable components, unit tests, inline js vs js in separate fiels,...)14:30
zyga-udsdholbach: I'm installing the SDK now, if I can get a qt5/python3 hello world up I can present that next week14:30
rferrazzubuntu-calculator-app has a unit-tests subfolder that you can browse to see how we are doing our calculation engine tests14:31
dholbachzyga-uds, you're a hero14:32
zyga-udsMirv: python3-pyqt4 exists, there's nothing for python3-pyqt514:34
bhenderson256You mentioned that there aren't many QML experts out there...  What resources would you recommend for "mastering" QML?14:34
Mirvzyga-uds: yeah I was just going to say my only information comes from http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2012-December/032216.html - it does state that PyQt4 (snapshot) would support Qt 514:34
zyga-udsah, so pyqt is not supported yet14:35
Mirvzyga-uds: but it may well be that even though the latest PyQt release in raring is from January, it's not new enough14:35
zyga-udsQUESTION: can we see if we can update the pyqt5 package (debian does not have that so we cannot sync it)14:36
zyga-udsor alternatively14:36
rferrazzhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-calculator-dev/ubuntu-calculator-app/trunk/view/head:/unit-tests/tst_basic.qml14:36
zyga-udsQUESTION: how would one integrate a qt5/qml gui with python3 application core?14:36
kenvandinei was disappointed by how much c++ i had to do... but that will change as we get more bindings14:37
zyga-udsthanks for clearing that14:37
t1mpdid the video stream just die or is it just me?14:38
Mirvt1mp: just you14:39
Mirvt1mp: or, you may mean the app developer site mobile session which seems dead14:40
Mirvor ended, says it's encoding14:40
bhenderson256Good points... I think that the QML learning curve is something that needs to be considered/addressed... Not sure if this session is the right place, but think that we need to "sell" QML before we can sell the SDK.  Thoughts?14:41
MirvI think that maybe selling the SDK as a whole, the developer response globally for QML is simply quite great AFAIK14:42
Mirvalthough, it's still good to sell QML as part of it for those are coming from the other backgrounds - since QML is new(ish) to Ubuntu after all14:42
Mirvjust some random thoughts :D14:43
bhenderson256Yeah...  Agree... Just thinking if we could ease the learning curve for QML, we would be able to sign up more developers! :)14:44
Mirvbzoltan: QUESTION: was the #ubuntu-touch the channel also for toolkit?14:44
Mirv(what was the collaboration channel with other Qt/QML toolkit makers..)14:44
dholbach#ubuntu-app-devel maybe? I don't know :)14:45
vibhavdholbach: I can join you guys now (If it aint too late)14:45
dholbachvibhav, we're just about to wrap up14:45
vibhavah fine14:46
vibhavNever mind14:46
bhenderson256Thank you guys!14:46
zyga-udsthanks!14:46
netcurlithanks14:46
Mirvthank you!14:47
dholbachthanks everyone! :)14:48

pmcgowanis that the right one?14:58
popeyyes pmcgowan15:01
popeykaleo MIA15:02
mptI am following the IRC15:04
Mirvare there anyone else who want to join the hangout?15:04
TheMusoHere.15:04
mptQUESTION: When will we have radio controls?15:04
mptQUESTION: When will we have a datepicker?15:04
WellarkMirv: I could join to discuss the HUD15:04
MirvWellark: ok15:05
bzoltanmpt: I will answer your questions when gerry finishes with the layouts15:06
mptNo, I don't mean radio buttons. I mean a mobile equivalent to radio buttons.15:08
mptFor example, something to choose between "POP" vs. "IMAP" when setting up a mail account.15:08
mptFor example, the iOS equivalent is a grouped table.15:08
mptIt is not just a "desktop thing".15:09
mptWho is designing the components?15:09
mptI'm designing System Settings for mobile. That's why I'm asking. :-)15:10
mptokay, cool15:11
mptQUESTION: What's the best way to provide feedback on the API? For example, it looks (though I'm not sure) as if there's no way to label the ends of a slider. Would that be a bug report, or something raised in a meeting, or what?15:13
bzoltan mpt: This is the project https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit and we folow the bugs there15:14
mptthanks15:14
* mpt subscribes15:15
ckpringlempt: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone15:15
t1mptutorial link: step 2 on https://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/gomobile/15:16
zebaszpQUESTION: is there support for changing the UI on rotation (different between landscape and portrait)? For example, the iOS calculator turns into a scientific calculator in landscape15:18
boikothe header will have the same behavior as it has in the tabs? (scroll together with a flickable)15:19
zebaszpok :)15:21
t1mpboiko: yes, exactly the same. And the Tabs will be updated to use the "common" Header component (but you won't notice the difference)15:22
boikot1mp: nice! I need that in some views of the phone-app15:22
boikot1mp: thanks15:23
zebaszpthe HUD is definitely the coolest15:27
nerochiarobzoltan: one thing i don't understand about the hud is why was it designed to have access to all the apps menus and not just the currently running app15:27
t1mpsorry, brb.15:29
t1mpback15:31
nerochiarook, i just found the top list of app icons confusing. thanks for explaining15:31
zebaszp...or you could have them migrate to raring/rolling?15:33
zebaszp:P15:33
TheMusoaccessibility roles are also needded.15:40
TheMusoAs well as possible stuff for keyboard nav in the desktop case.15:40
greybackTheMuso: agreed15:41
TheMusoI'm happy to work with you guys to get that sorted, since I can do testing.15:41
TheMusoWasn't a questino.15:41
TheMusoIt was a statement.15:41
greybackTheMuso: cool! Do you know if autopilot can integrate with orca at all?15:42
TheMusogreyback: No, but LDTP will likely be able to do so.15:42
TheMusoLDTP uses the accessibility framework to do testing.15:42
TheMusoNote that there are still some bugs in the Qt a11y code itself.15:42
TheMusoI'll be working with upstream to try and get these addressed.15:42
greybackTheMuso: that's true. I'm not sure if we want to use /another/ testing framework however :)15:42
greybackTheMuso: in qt5 still? Oh dear :(15:43
TheMusoYes.15:43
TheMusoThere is only one person working on the code upstream after all.15:43
zebaszpcheers!15:43
greybackTheMuso: fregl?15:43
TheMusogreyback: Is there another channel for the SDk where we can talk about this further?15:43
TheMusogreyback: Yes.15:43
greyback#ubuntu-touch is all we have so far15:44
TheMusoOk.15:44
greybackTheMuso: ^^ let's move there15:44
