Bravo . [19:26] it's not only the team but the community working to improve it as well [19:26] jalcine: that is true :) [19:27] 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] Scharel: that is the long-term plan yes, but there's no timeframe yet on when TV work will pick up again [19:28] 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] that said, one community guy is already re-building the TV UI on Unity 8 on his phone [19:28] mhall119: would it open to public dev or no? [19:28] ahhh [19:28] you already answered it [19:28] jalcine: yes, all open [19:28] QUESTION: any plan to phase out gnome aplications as the default ones? [19:28] jalcine: Canonical is here [19:28] there [19:29] * mhall119 isn't there, but somebody is [19:29] good, this is the way mint-menu of old allowed ppl to install stuff, search and run/install [19:29] Karuna: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57615107-94/ubuntu-touch-os-wins-its-first-smartphone-partner/ announced at le web [19:30] 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] QUESTION: do you plan to add a more UI centric management of ppas in future ubuntu releases? [19:31] richrboo: we can't force OEMs to keep it open, but that would be our preference for sure [19:32] who_me: PPAs are really meant for developers, not consumers [19:32] Question : Jono : Veno's or beechams ? both's cool . [19:33] 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] who_me: that's where click packaging comes it, apps will be able to update any time with ease [19:34] 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] who_me: click packages don't fundamentally depend on the SDK [19:35] 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] uld you lend some thoughts to this? [19:35] any app can be a click package [19:35] even openshot [19:35] lol, too long for IRC [19:36] 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] there's questions here lol [19:37] QUESTION, about cellphone hardware partners, are there good news for this ?? will we get a Ubuntu Touch cellphone 2014 ?? [19:37] mhall119, jono thanks for explaining this :) [19:37] who_me: happy to :) [19:37] I see you [19:37] QUESTION: What are some considerations in terms of accessories for Unity 8 (i.e: Fitbit, BLE, NFC, etc) [19:37] jalcine: there's a FitBit app, which also integrates with the welcome screen's usermetrics [19:38] QUESTION: Any news about other supported devices for touch. Nexus 4 is going to be hard to come by sooner or later. [19:39] pulu90: should add nexus 5 by mid january - once we migrate the drivers to Android 4.4 [19:39] \o/ awesome [19:39] popey: we have all the necessary drivers for the N5? [19:39] I have a Nexus 4 here but the screen's cracked so it's of no real use unless I can emulate touch gestures haha [19:40] QUESTION: have you considered nemo to replace nautilus ? [19:40] mhall119: ask ricardo - he said the above earlier ☻ [19:40] cool, thanks popey [19:40] mhall119: AOSP released all of the necessary drivers [19:40] who_me: the Ubuntu SDK filemanager-app is based on Nemo [19:40] When did we start doing these again? [19:41] Jono doesn't like taking medicine, but he takes a medicinal Jägermeister now and then. [19:42] mhall119: that's very nice :) [19:42] CheeseBurg: around 19:00 UTC ;p [19:43] jalcine: What is that? 2pm est? [19:43] yeah [19:43] yup [19:43] my tz too [19:44] yay [19:44] Worth noting that with many of the core apps we had direct access between canonical design and core apps developers. [19:44] and input from community designers - heavily - on that [19:45] play [19:46] QUESTION: Will we see more collaboration between laptop makers like with Asus? And are they still doing that deal? [19:46] QUESTION: Can you sure any metrics/stats on how Ubuntu is doing as a cloud platform? For instance, how well are the Ubuntu AMIs doing on AWS, and is that generating any revenue for you guys? [19:48] Whoops, yeah, I meant *share [19:48] QUESTION: I know I asked you this question and the answer was that smartscope search would become more relevant when smartscope servers would be Enabled. so are the smart scope servers Enabled ?? [19:48] QUESTION: What web-cam do you use ? :) Brand and model pls [19:48] Levan: they are in 13.10 and beyond [19:49] QUESTION: do you think the day will come when we will get MS office on ubuntu ?? [19:49] QUESTION: When will JuJu be ready for simple home servers? I would love the idea of installing a server with JuJu as a GUI. [19:49] Question: How is the new icon set coming along?

[19:51] QUESTION: How is accessiblility coming along for the Ubunto Touch (phones)? [19:51] Levan: Does Jono even know what mantle is? [19:51] Mantle might make more of a difference if more than AMD supported it [19:52] otherwise you end up writing device-specific code :( [19:52] CheeseBurg he told us we can ask him any thing [19:52] Levan: True [19:52] :D [19:53] Question: As you are well aware Madibba from South Africa belongs to many hastags on twitter at the moment . As Ubuntu Community Manager -- do yo have `warming heart-felt footnote to add to everyone's comments on discourse-ubuntu-com ?? Be unreserved , please. [19:53] QUestion continue'd | Is there .... , for example this year: you successfully cross-questioned Mr R.M.Stallman with your own brilliant Question - Now , Is there something you'd like to pose to the followers of Mandela , with respect ? [19:53] QUESTION: With linux on the desktop moving forward more and more each year, do you personally look at innovation that other projects do? Does it motivate or drive anything in Ubuntu or Canonical? [19:54] Come on people! Dubble the flavor! [19:55] i know Jono told me that smart scope is getting better and better but in reality it is stupid as bricks, since I installed 13.10 I am getting same useless results [19:56] Levan: It gets better for me [19:56] Levan: :D [19:57] Question: I did pose a question 4 mins ago ?
