[05:12] <pianogmx> if my familiarity is with java with some familiarity with C++, what would be the best way of getting started to contribute to ubuntu / app development?
[07:35] <dholbach> good morning
[09:48] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Wear Brown Shoes Day!  :-D
[10:33] <t1mp> JamesTait: haha. good to know :) good morning to you too.
[10:34] <JamesTait> t1mp, I was hesitant to post it, because I don't have any brown shoes myself. :-/
[10:36] <t1mp> haha :)
[11:17] <AlienPenguin> hi all, i am experimenting with ubuntu-touch on a nexus 4, i tried to use "import QtLocation" in a qml program but ubuntu-sdk complained about not finding it. any hints/examples?
[11:18] <AlienPenguin> also, what is the gps device? i tried accessing ttyUSB0 with no luck
[11:32] <timppa> AlienPenguin: You need QtDeclarative packages on Desktop Ubuntu where you run SDK
[15:01] <popey> mzanetti: lenovo engineer just arrived.. be there in a moment
[15:01] <mzanetti> popey: no worries
[18:22] <seanz> Greetings. Would this be the right channel to find a package maintainer?
[18:23] <seanz> I'm looking to talk with someone who maintains a package with a Java .war file.
[18:23] <sarnold> seanz: a click package or a .deb package?
[18:24] <seanz> sarnold: .deb package. I don't know what a click package is.
[18:24] <seanz> So maybe click package is what I want, but I lack knowledge. :)
[18:24] <sarnold> seanz: newfangled phone and tablet-aimed thingy :)
[18:24] <seanz> Oh, nope. Not me.
[18:24] <sarnold> seanz: try #ubuntu-devel :)
[18:24] <seanz> For .deb package info?
[18:25] <sarnold> yeah, more packagers will hang out there than here, I think; this channel is more for people who are building new phone and tablet applications and the infrastructure to support those
[18:25] <seanz> Interesting. #ubuntu-devel's subject line indicated this channel for "app development". I figured that meant .deb packages.
[18:25] <seanz> Got it.
[18:25] <seanz> Thanks.
[19:01] <iBelieve> mhall119: ping
[19:02] <mhall119> iBelieve: pong
[19:04] <iBelieve> mhall119: I have questions about where to place the Settings tab/page in the File Manager app, do you know who I should talk to? My question is sparked by LP #1257871
[19:04] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1257871 in Ubuntu File Manager App "Settings should be an icon on the toolbar instead of a tab" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1257871
[19:05] <mhall119> iBelieve: I brought this up with the design team at UDS, I think the desire is to provide a consistent way of accessing app settings, but I don't think any specific approach has been chosed yet
[19:07] <iBelieve> mhall119: okay, thanks
[19:07] <mhall119> np
[19:07] <mhall119> I think a button in the Toolbar is best for now
[19:07] <mhall119> IMO anyway
[19:24] <davmor2> mhall119, iBelieve: +1 for the button, the only issue then becomes the behaviour of clicking the button and which side you put the button :D
[19:26] <mhall119> I think (hope) that ultimately apps will be able to use the HUD toolbar's buttons for accessing their preferences
