[19:26] <jalcine> it's not only the team but the community working to improve it as well
[19:26] <Levan> jalcine: that is true :)
[19:27] <Scharel> QUESTION: is there a plan to expand the convergence to the tv (e.g. connect phone/tablet/laptop via HDMI to a tv and use Ubuntu for tv)
[19:27] <mhall119> Scharel: that is the long-term plan yes, but there's no timeframe yet on when TV work will pick up again
[19:28] <Karuna> Why is Canonical so " Anti - leweb.co " . I see no presence at this immense and disruptive platform which is live all this week ? rRef: http://live.leweb.co
[19:28] <mhall119> that said, one community guy is already re-building the TV UI on Unity 8 on his phone
[19:28] <jalcine> mhall119: would it open to public dev or no?
[19:28] <jalcine> ahhh
[19:28] <jalcine> you already answered it

[19:29] <who_me> good, this is the way mint-menu of old allowed ppl to install stuff, search and run/install
[19:29] <beardofomens> Karuna: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57615107-94/ubuntu-touch-os-wins-its-first-smartphone-partner/ announced at le web
[19:30] <richrboo> QUESTION:  will Ubuntu Phone with any hardware partner, be open? For example will you be able to run a terminal? Install python? Root etc? Or will it be locked down to Ubuntu/hardware partners requirements?
[19:31] <who_me> QUESTION: do you plan to add a more UI centric management of ppas in future ubuntu releases?
[19:31] <mhall119> richrboo: we can't force OEMs to keep it open, but that would be our preference for sure
[19:32] <mhall119> who_me: PPAs are really meant for developers, not consumers
[19:32] <Karuna> Question : Jono : Veno's or beechams ? both's cool .
[19:33] <who_me> mhall119: well, some software will have newer/better versions in PPAs as the distro ages... esp LTS releases
[19:33]  * snwh has a long-winded question
[19:33] <mhall119> who_me: that's where click packaging comes it, apps will be able to update any time with ease
[19:34] <who_me>  mhall119 : will click packages work for software such as openshot (video editor)? I understand they were meant for new/modern ubuntu SDK dependent apps
[19:35] <mhall119> who_me: click packages don't fundamentally depend on the SDK
[19:35] <snwh> QUESTION: the design process of Unity 8/Ubuntu Touch (not applications for platform but the platform itself) is not as open as the design processes of other environments, such as GNOME. It seems nearly all of the design is done in-house at Canonical. As a community designer, this is rather disappointing; it seems that while Canonical is ready to embrace developers to the Ubuntu Touch platform they are less open to design input from the community. Co
[19:35] <snwh> uld you lend some thoughts to this?
[19:35] <mhall119> any app can be a click package
[19:35] <mhall119> even openshot
[19:35] <snwh> lol, too long for IRC
[19:36] <mhall119> it might need to bundle more dependencies in the click package than it does in the .deb, but it would make it easier for them to distribute new releases without worrying about distro compatibility
[19:36] <jalcine> there's questions here lol
[19:37] <Levan> QUESTION, about cellphone hardware partners,  are there good news for this ?? will we get a Ubuntu Touch cellphone 2014 ??

[19:51] <spiritssight> QUESTION: How is accessiblility coming along for the Ubunto Touch (phones)?
[19:51] <CheeseBurg> Levan: Does Jono even know what mantle is?
[19:51] <mhall119> Mantle might make more of a difference if more than AMD supported it
[19:52] <mhall119> otherwise you end up writing device-specific code :(
[19:52] <Levan> CheeseBurg he told us we can ask him any thing
