madness_devwhere I can watch the  App Developer Roundtable Wed14:04
mhall119madness_dev: starting it now14:04
mhall119can you guys see us yet?14:05
rickspencer3o/14:06
madness_devI hear you but can not see14:06
beunocan see you14:07
vthompsonI don't think they have the apparmor isolation in the emulator yet though.14:14
aquariushey, dudes14:24
aquariusI am planning to attend as many sessions as I can today :)14:26
mhall119any questions or things people in the channel want to discuss?14:26
aquariussorry I wasn't around yesterday -- I was on a plane!14:26
madness_dev1i have a question but but not on the subject14:26
* aquarius reviews the HTML5 session notes from yesterday :)14:27
madness_dev1michael u know my problem14:28
madness_dev1nice cat)14:28
ahayzenvthompson, o/14:29
madness_dev1yup14:29
aquariushaving Oxide as the container for HTML5 is good. Are there plans to ensure that the "Ubuntu Browser" is (a) Oxide-based and (b) is documented on popular sites? Look at, say, MDN:  randomly chosen page is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen.lockOrientation and it has browser support for that feature listed down the bottom. Is someone going to be looking at getting the Ubuntu Browser into14:29
aquariusthat list, into caniuse.com, etc?14:29
vthompsonahayzen, yo14:29
mhall119http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask?tags=application-development14:29
madness_dev1i will try, thanks14:30
aquariusIt's possible to say "Oxide is just Chromium", but then you have to promise that it'll track a chromium version exactly -- you're not allowed to, say, disable webgl, or webrtc, etc :)14:30
madness_dev1i have one more question14:30
ahayzenvthompson, i'm in a lecture so will likely be in the IRC channel for the mediascanner session14:30
madness_dev1how do u test your ubuntu touch apps?14:31
vthompsonahayzen, sounds good. We'll make sure to give any work items to Daniel then. :P14:32
ahayzenvthompson, i need to talk to u about some Grilo stuff, will u be around ~1700UTC?14:32
anatoliis the cat also an app dev?14:32
aquariusI'm not really asking a technical question about Oxide so much as an evangelism/community question about it ;)14:33
popeyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Testing14:34
popeymadness_dev1: ^^14:34
popeyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Testing/Autopilot also14:34
vthompsonahayzen, I should be.14:34
aquariusThis is really about making "Ubuntu Browser" be a recognised web browser, along the same lines as the Android browser, Chrome for Android, iOS Safari, etc. "It is WebKit" isn't enough; all of those are webkit too, and there are big differences between them :)14:34
madness_dev1but i have not device14:35
beunoaquarius, yes, we're working on that14:35
beunowith dbarth and other FE developers14:35
beunoadding it into popular js and css libraries, etc14:35
aquariusbeuno, cool. It is a lot of work -- this is what happens when we have our own browser rather than someone else's -- and that work doesn't seem to have started, which is why I keep asking about it :)14:35
ahayzenvthompson, awesome, wanna try and land my performance improvements soon :)14:35
beunoaquarius, indeed14:36
vthompsonahayzen, we might not want to try to implement too many improvements to how we handle the Grilo model--the outcome of the session in the next 30 minutes might result in Grilo going away...14:37
popeyahayzen: vthompson will you guys be around for the next session in appdev-2 ?14:37
popeyhttp://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1311/meeting/22067/appdev-1311-coreapps-saucy-review/14:37
mhall119https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/76cpiab56q9hmau0kfu5chhrg8?authuser=1&hl=en14:37
aquariusbeuno, you may find http://developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Web/#!nokia-browsers/nokia-browser-85-for-meego-12-harmattan.html instructive -- I mean, that's just nokia on a browser which is discontinued, and they provided loads of docs on which media queries it supports, etc.14:37
ahayzenpopey, I'll be listening in and in the IRC channel, i'm in a lecture at the moment :)14:37
popeyah okay14:37
vthompsonpopey, I had planned on being in the mediascanner convo14:37
madness_dev1how can I  run and test app without device?14:37
beunoaquarius, nice one, thanks14:37
popeyif you can type feedback into the etherpad that would be awesome14:37
ahayzenpopey, oh yh and we have the mediascanner one at the same time14:38
popeythanks14:38
popeyhttp://pad.ubuntu.com/uds-1311-appdev-1311-coreapps-saucy-review14:38
popey14:38
aquariuspopey, I didn't do that because my comments are really about the HTML5 session yesterday, whichI was not in ;)14:38
popeyfeel free to type at that anytime14:38
vthompsonmhall119, the mediascanner people might want to remove the dependency upon it. That is the topic to be discussed in 20 minutes in client-214:40
aquariusQUESTION: is the Cordova work going on inside Canonical now roughly complete, or is there more still to go? Specifically, are common Cordova plugins also going to get ported, to make it easier to use them in cross-platform Cordova apps?14:40
aquarius(sorry for having questions about a session from yesterday :))14:40
madness_dev1but if i want to send system notification from my app to system notification tray how can i do this?14:40
madness_dev1i mean if i test app on desktop14:42
vthompsonmhall119, here's the blueprint for the mediascanner/grilo discussion: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1311-mediascanner-roadmap14:42
aquariusQUESTION: are you guys talking to cordova about making build.phonegap.com able to generate Ubuntu click packages as well as packages for other platforms?14:44
madness_dev1thanks)14:45
aquariusschaweet! if build.phonegap makes click packages I shall be One Happy Bunny14:46
aquariusotherwise I'd have to write a client-side javascript ting to do it ;)14:47
aquariusQUESTION: the push notifications session from yesterday doesn't seem to have any etherpad notes? I can just review the video, but notes would be nice :)14:48
aquariusfair play -- I'll watch the video :)14:49
aquariusnah, if it's deep tech discussion then the video's better14:50
* aquarius laughs. Technically no it wasn't a question :)14:50
mhall119having the video certainly is nice14:50
* anatoli doesn't see the etherpad on the right at all14:51
popeythere's a link to it underneath14:51
popeyto "open in new window"14:51
mhall119anatoli: go to pad.ubuntu.com and login first, it doesn't like trying to log you in from the iframe14:51
anatolithat was it! now I see it after reloading14:52
anatolithanks14:52
popey\o/14:53
anatoliwe are live14:53
mhall119anatoli: the roundtable just ended14:54
aquariuslater, peeps14:54
ahayzenthanks guys14:54
anatolimhall119:hm weird I guess I'm seeing the start of it then? confusingly it says it's "live" so I thought it was the next session starting early14:54
anatolianothe re-load and the "live" is fixed. maybe one day somebody can make the transition between sessions less broken14:57
anatolisuppose it might be youtube to blame14:57
mhall119anatoli: http://launchpad.net/summit we could definitely use more developers to improve it :)14:58

anatolisomebody get the phone!15:10
aquariuswe can see you now :)15:10
mzanettiyes15:10
dobeysweet, so i didn't actually miss anything yet15:11
karnidobey: correct15:11
aquariusQUESTION: when you talk about "HTML5" having access to the content hub and so on, you mean "HTML5 in a native app", right? Not "a webpage which can do Unity integration"?15:12
aquariusI can join if you want, but I have a whole bunch of questions to ask :)15:13
jonobaconaquarius: I think you should join15:13
jonobaconwould be handy15:13
jonobaconI would join but I am feeding Jack right now15:13
dobeyQUESTION: If I'm building a Qt library for app develpors to use from C++, what is the standard way to provide build system integration that will work with cmake and qmake both? In gtk+/glib libraries for example, the standard is to provide pkg-config data, but Qt apps tend to rely on a couple other means for providing that data.15:14
mzanettidobey: you can use pkg-config15:14
mzanettior cmake native things (like find_something())15:15
dobeymzanetti: is that preferred/standard though?15:15
karniaquarius: good to see you :D15:15
dobeyi don't want to have to do 10 different things. but i'm happy to just do pkg-config if that's the standard/accepted/preferred way15:15
mzanettidobey: the problem is actually the "bring your own dependencies"15:15
mzanettidobey: so all that stuff won't really work15:15
karnidid you get muted aquarius ?15:16
dobeymzanetti: well, presume it's a library that's in the core image :)15:16
mzanettidobey: ok. yes. in that case use cmake's find_something or, if that's not there, pkcconfig15:16
dobeymzanetti: well, there's also qt-in-cmake stuff that isn't exactly find_something, but is qt_use_module or something like that15:18
mzanettidobey: ah, yeah. that's qt's internal stuff. in qmake just use "QT += module1 module3 ..."15:18
dobeyright, there's qt internal stuff in qmake, then there's sa qt-in-cmake thing, then there's findWhatEver in cmake, then there's pkgconfig15:19
jonobaconaquarius: turn your mic up15:19
aquariusjonobacon, will try15:19
mzanettidobey: yeah... well... in cmake the Qt internal's are included with the find_package(). and that is the preferred thing for everything. however, when that's not there, you can still use pkgconfig15:20
jonobaconI dont think we should use "cordova" as a term15:22
jonobaconit is an implementation detail of how we access sensors15:22
karniaquarius: 'PhoneGap' is a child name for 'Cordova'15:22
karnijonobacon: +115:22
jonobaconthey are "HTML5 apps"15:22
* karni agrees15:22
dobeymzanetti: well, you need to do something like find_package(Qt5Core REQUIRED) first, then you can do qt5_use_modules(DBus Xml Network) for example15:22
dobeymzanetti: which is a little different than pure find_package15:22
jonobaconaquarius: no they are not15:23
mzanettidobey: true. although I don't understand the problem15:23
jonobaconmost people don't know what cordova is15:23
jonobaconmost people know HTML5, not cordova15:23
jonobaconthe way I see it, we have:15:23
jonobacon* QML Native15:23
jonobacon* HTML5 Apps15:23
jonobacon* Web Integration15:24
jonobacon* Scopes15:24
jonobaconin any case, I am not sure this is the most important problem to solve ;-)15:24
dobeymzanetti: i want to know what the standard/preferred way to do things is, and do that; rather than just doing everything for everyone, because i don't want to do 10 different things. i want to do one, and have it be easy to use15:24
mzanettidobey: afaik cmake is the preferred thing. and in there you gotta use what is available.15:25
jonobaconI agree it is confusing, but I think we just need to pick terms and stick to them15:25
jonobacondamn you both15:25
jonobacon:-)15:25
mzanettiI think it's quite obvious that qtcreator is supposed to do that but just not there yet15:27
mzanettiaquarius: ^15:27
dobeymzanetti: then can we just declare somewhere that libraries written in qt on ubuntu that are meant to be used by people writing apps for ubuntu, should use pkg-config?15:27
mhall119dobey: if that is the case then yes15:27
dobeywell let's make it the case :)15:28
mzanettiI think our biggest problem is that we want to support HTML, Qt, Go, Python and whatnot15:28
dobeywell i don't care about html go python and whatnot15:28
dobeyi care about qt/qml right now15:28
mzanettidobey: that was in reponse to the video stream15:28
dobeyoh15:28
jonobaconmhall119: totally agree15:30
jonobaconwe only trade on production features15:30
jonobaconwe need a distutils-extra type script that generates a manifest15:30
anatoli"is it a bug or not" is something to find out on eg. askubuntu.com or irc , isn't it - and possibly file a bug about lack of docs or weird behavior15:31
anatolidoesn't seem to me like a new problem15:31
anatoliyou get the same with Qt15:31
* mzanetti doesn't agree15:32
mzanettiI agree that the message should be "its not there yet" but not "go away"15:33
jonobaconaquarius: I am not sure I agree - we often tell people if something is ready yet15:33
jonobaconfor example, location15:33
jonobaconbut I agr15:33
jonobaconbut I agree with the point of providing clarity about what is in and what isnt15:33
jonobaconmaybe a page on d.u.c could help here15:33
jonobaconthat provides an overview of platform coverage15:33
anatoliinstead of "go away" I would prefer "watch this bug/blueprint"15:34
jonobaconmhall119: yeah15:34
jonobaconthat indicates what is in what hasnt arrived yet15:34
jonobaconwe would need to keep it up to date, but I know an awesome guy who could do that15:35
jonobaconwho lives in Florida15:35
jonobaconwho doesn't do QA15:35
jonobacon:-)15:35
jonobaconanatoli: we should not ask developers to watch Ubuntu platform bugs15:35
jonobaconthey shouldnt have to care15:35
jonobacontrolololol15:36
Kulithianwhat about a goal orientated schedule that updated periodically to show whats behind the goal? the goal doesn't have to be specific, maybe just a "lets get half way done by next week"15:36
anatoliit's hard not to care about missing features, though :-)15:36
jonobaconbrb15:36
mzanettiQUESTION: so the topic is also "identifying what's missing". IMO there's too much Qt apis missing. Like sensors, location, connectivity. How will that suffer given that we're focusing on HTML and apparently Go now?15:37
rickspencer3write a program that generates a page when something in the sdk is changed?15:38

Kulithianwhat if those features/changes are then pulled from the build?15:45
Kulithianwould the application recognize that change and adapt the doc?15:45
anatoli"some" lag15:45
Kulithianand how much bloat and resources will something like that need?15:46

kenvandinebut the page explaining what content hub is doesn't specifically say it only works in one direction15:55

mhall119kenvandine: it would be good to have a disclaimer in the docs about that15:55

aquariuswoah my laptop is hot16:01
mhall119anatoli: it's not broke, the other pages are in different namespace sections like Ubuntu.Components and Ubuntu.Layouts16:01
dobeyso who needs to declare whether to use pkg-config/find_package/qt5_use_modules/qmake qt modules/etc…?16:02
anatolimhall119:so is this also intended? http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-1.0/Components.Components/16:02
anatoliit looks bizarrely fragmented to me16:02
aquariusthat's a bug, that16:02
aquariusI noticed that one :)16:02
dobeycan it be me? is it rickspencer3 ?16:02
aquariusI think it's because that component isn't qdocced in the proper category or something16:02
mhall119anatoli: that's from the qdocs, I don't think it's supposed to be that way, but it's how the docs are generated atm16:04

zygaok16:07
mhall119going live now16:08
aquariusit's basically a function of how we get to be participants in Ubuntu's development process, and how we get to use a thing before it's finished: if, say, MSDN and the universe disagree, then that's a definite MSDN bug, but if d.u.c and the universe disagree then we might be in the middle of fixing it, because the process is open. I don't know how to avoid that with an open process, but... it's much more of a16:08
aquariusproblem now, because previously anyone who cared about ubuntu docs was developing Ubuntu itself, and now we have mostly app devs who don't care about the stuff being in flux and just want docs that work :(16:08

udsbotuLaunchpad bug 1248737 in Ubuntu RSS Feed Reader App "Allow to add feeds from the local file system" [High,Confirmed]18:42
robotfuelthe web browser app also has mocks that can be used as an example18:43
veeberselopio, et. al: I'm working on mocking the stock-ticker tests to use a local 'server': https://code.launchpad.net/~veebers/stock-ticker-mobile-app/mock-server-for-testing/+merge/19497118:46
robotfuelveebers: +1 :)18:47
veebersperhaps we can do something similar for rss reader?18:47
balloonsthomi, ^^18:47
elopioveebers: great :)18:47
elopioveebers: mmcc and gatox are doing that for the app updater. Did I mention that already?18:47
elopioit would be nice to get a common way to mock servers.18:47
robotfuelthe web browser app has something similar to veebers mock server as well. so there are 2 good examples of how to do it.18:48
veeberselopio: agreed. I based my code off what was in the webbrowser test18:48
veeberss18:48
veebersrobotfuel: heh, there is a reason it's similar :-) I based it off that18:48
elopioveebers: sounds like we should make a session about mocking external services.18:48
thomiveebers: lets work on this together then, next time you're round here18:48
veeberselopio: sweet, as long as it's not at 3am for me ;-)18:49
veebersthomi: sounds like a plan18:49
dkesselnot sure if it is helpful: there is info on mocking google api calls here: https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/guide/mocks18:50
thomidkessel: nice, I was going to use the stdlib, but I'll look into that as well18:50
vthompsonballoons, filemanager issue was a mir issue wasn't it?18:52
robotfuelballoons: the math test should probably done with qmltestrunner.18:57
thomirobotfuel: with unit tests, please18:58
thomiqmltestrunner is only used for ui component testing,18:58
elopiorobotfuel, thomi: that's a good thing to discuss, what test tool should we use for javascript unit tests?18:59
thomielopio: lets talk about it laters18:59
thomi*later, in fact18:59
vthompsonballoons, interfacing with the various tabs and the items in the playing queue should all get tests18:59
vthompsonballoons, for music-app18:59
veebersballoons: I added my MRs for the stock-ticker that I need to follow up19:00

rschrollNot about development, but I've written my criticism on scoring here: http://rschroll.github.io/beru/2013/11/14/evaluating-the-app-showdown-evaluation.html19:11
rschrollyes, Robert19:12
dakerthe scoring part19:13
rschrollsorry, I have too many consonants19:13
rschrollBasically, I was disappointed that scores weren't reported, publically or privately19:13
rschrollJono had a blog post that tried to explain this, but I found it unconvincing19:14
dakerbe more transparent19:14
dakeri can't mhall11919:14
rschrollGive score , mean and standard deviation19:15
rschrollI've tried to explain in the blog post what you can do with this information.19:17
rschrollBasically, what areas should I focus on improving?19:17
rschrollFor written feedback, I've tried to follow up to find more details, but haven't heard back.19:18
rschrollIt'd be nice to have the content hub working.19:21

rschrollI'm on the wrong end of a narrow internet pipe.19:24
rschrollIt's difficult enough to get you streaming to me, I'm afraid19:24
mhall119that's ok19:25
dakermhall119: the click packaging + uploading story is very good for me19:25
dakereven excellent i can build package for webapps and get them into the store in minutes19:25
dakergames19:27
rschrollRe theme: No ideas.  I chose something I wanted for myself for this one.19:27
daker+1 on games19:28
rschrollThere could be a games category and a general category.19:29
Lord_Ankalusi think 3 categories is nice idea: games, nativ app, html5 app19:29
vthompsonmhall119, what about some small category for ports? Maybe a smaller prize for best port?19:30
dakerya also i like the idea of categories so the showdown will be not restrictive19:30
vthompsonNow that it sounds like Box2D will be landing on the phone maybe you'll get more neat ports and new games19:32
vthompsonWhat about an additional prize of $10 to spend at the click store--once that lands.19:33
Lord_AnkalusWhat do you think of tablets as ubuntu 14.04 focuses on them19:36
vthompson+1 on tablets if the showdown is after 14.04 lands19:37
rschrollRe prizes: I competed to make myself learn some new things.  The phone would have been a nice bonus, but I would have done it without the prize19:37
rschrollyou just said "awful lag"19:37
rschrollMany students have January off.19:41
rschroll(college)19:41
vthompsonWhat if judging could be assisted by app reviews in the store?19:44
rschrollThanks, mhall19:45
mhall119anything else?19:47
vthompsonNot from me--everything sounds good19:48
