[18:06] QUESTION: While this question may have been answered before, would you consider the Mir display server an alpha or go as far as to say it is a pre-alpha stage, considering it still utilizes an X compatibility layer? (Hence XMir). [18:07] QUESTION: Would Mir solve issues related to dynamic graphic card switching, even per application. X11 still requires a restart of the X.Org session.

Thanks! === rex is now known as naum [18:19] question: can you recompile most of the kde and gnome packages under Mir? Do you even need to do that? [18:21] So Mir doesn't work with Unity 7 so you need another layer to make it work (xMir)? Isn't this going to cause all sorts of problems? This will be a nightmare to fix bugs as it won't be clear if its an bug with xMir or Mir. [18:23] question: When Unity8 under Mir becomes available as a preview in 13.10 will we be able to run "old" apps with xmir?

[18:43] Is python still preferred language for development on Ubuntu, like stated in that tutorial about quickly (which I can't find anymore)? [18:43] QUESTION: outside of the core apps, what are the applications that you feel will be most important to helping Ubuntu Touch launch with a bang? [18:43] How about an update on your BBQ action. ;) [18:43] Ok so my question is you were saying the carriers will be bale to customize touch they way they want it to look will we be able to undo or change what they do so we do not have to love with what they do. [18:44] My question didn't appear ? [18:44] What about developing for Ubuntu on other platform (Windows - Mac ) ? Is it only available using Ubuntu ? [18:44] jono: there's no one behhind you today :| [18:44] as usual :D [18:45] what kind of architecture will the hi-low end phone version be?

Nice to know you are still involved with the community [19:08] pinguy: of course he is, it's his job [19:09] sebsebseb, lol, true [19:10] thanks! [19:11] sebsebseb, Well at least it gave me the option to talk about Sony being involved with Open Source and that they need to look into AMR-WB [19:12] Something Canonical need to look into but hard to talk to them about [19:12] Doing this Q&A I am hoping jono go's away and looks into it [19:14] jono, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_Wideband [19:15] http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/05/09/sony-working-on-premium-firefox-os-handset/ [19:15] Better link for sony: http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/02/27/experimental-firefox-os-software-for-xperia-e-available-for-developers-rom/ [19:16] pinguy: I think Sony generaly don't care much about Linux etc [19:16] sebsebseb, you are joking right? [19:16] pinguy: I mean take the PS3 and the Linux option being removed thing for example [19:16] sebsebseb, that was because you could hack the PS3 using the Other OS option [19:16] Thats why it was removed [19:16] I think Sony aren't that popular in the phone market to, and so yes may support things like FIrefox OS and even Ubuntu Phone for that matter, whatever it takes for them to become a bit bigger of a name basicaly [19:17] pinguy: plus the FSF has boycott Sony stickers and what not even, becasue of certian bad stuff they have done in the past, the rootkit thing etc [19:18] plus why are theo Sony Vaio's so expensive? they aren't that great really, in fact I broke on years ago [19:18] sebsebseb, I do some work on XDA, not much but some. Sony are by far the most open company I have dealt with. They released the kernel sources for the Sony Z before the phone was even released [19:19] maybe so, but Intel are open to with drivers for that. also Sony is a OEM as well, but where are those pre installed Desktop LInux systems for example, right there aren't any as far as I know [19:20] yo [19:20] pinguy: to be honest I don't think many of these companies care much about free software, as in from a moral software advantages point of view, it's just open source for them really, a good developmetn model possbily that can make them more money [19:20] ichhabegrosseeie: hi [19:21] well, I'm out [19:21] good bye [19:22] Sony are one of the few people that let you unlock your phone with the imei [19:22] They have a page setup on their site [19:23] pinguy: companies arne't people, they are however groups of people [19:23] sebsebseb, I know. But you get what I mean [19:23] altough someone did say to me the other day that apparnatly in USA, comapnies are known as people now or whatever he was saying hmm [19:25] pinguy: Sony have done some quite bad things in the past the rootkit thing etc. Sony like most companies lock people into their products or try to. the Blueray players, the PS3 etc etc. at the end of the day companies like that don't really care that much about our freedoms if at all really, they just care about making more money etc [19:25] sebsebseb, Network providers force Sony to lock the bootloader. But they have a page on their site on how to unlock it: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions [19:25] also mobile phones are quite propritary/commerical not that open really etc in general [19:25] and that's why I hope Firefox OS and Ubuntu Phone will succede [19:26] sebsebseb, you do know that network providers will tell Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch that they will need away to lock the bootloader? [19:27] there will be certaine requirements sure, since how that market is like [19:27] Sony, Android etc. want to be open, but network providers tell them if they don't lock down the hardware and OS they they won't sell the phones [19:28] It's sad, but it is how it is [19:28] well that's the kind of stuff that happens when money sucking companies are in charge of things! [19:28] It's why Sony have made it as simple as possible to be able to unlock their phones. [19:28] pinguy: it's the kind of reason why Richard Stallman will refues to use a phone :d [19:29] or his own anyway [19:29] Samsung are the same [19:29] pinguy: it's sad that phones are nothing, but products really [19:29] there isn't really a phone project if you get what I mean [19:29] a project and a product being differnet [19:29] in this context [19:29] All Samsung hardware is open. The kernel is fully open-sourced [19:30] It's the network providers that lock down the phone [19:34] I have been involved in mobile phone for the last 6 months or so. I do believe desktop PC will die out and will only be used to develop programs on. [19:34] pinguy: I think lap tops and desktop pc's are here to stay for man years to come [19:34] Because of this I am doing a lot of work with Android. But I am hoping Ubuntu Touch does well so I can start work on that [19:35] ,but yes tablets and phones are starting to become more popular realy [19:36] At the moment I honestly believe Ubuntu Touch won't do all that well. There is somethings I like about it, but overall it has nothing on Android at the moment. But it is a VERY early OS. [19:38] One thing I love about Ubuntu Touch is the light client feature. Where you can plug the phone into a TV or monitor and have a Full OS [19:38] At the moment that isn't part of Ubuntu Touch. But when it is, it will be a killer feature [19:38] I bought the Atrix HD just because I could run a full OS off of my phone [19:39] they where way ahead for the times [19:39] It was called Wedtop [19:39] *webtop [19:39] Here is a video showing it off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWORT8-jyoo [19:43] In that video. everything that is being shown is from a phone that was released February 22, 2011 [19:43] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_4G [19:44] Webtop was ground breaking at the time. I don't think people really understood how ground breaking it was at the time [19:46] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_4G#Webtop [19:51] It was a shame. I wanted to work on Webtop. The code is open-sourced ( http://sourceforge.net/motorola/motorola-webtop/home/Home/ ) but the kernel to get it working wasn't. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919735 [19:52] on XDA I am pinguy1982 [19:53] http://supportmymoto.com/ [21:31] yeaaaaaaah!!!!
