ivoxavierMaybe after the bq beeing shipped16:00
AirBotLogs for this session will be available at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/02/17/%23ubuntu-on-air.html following the conclusion of the session.16:00
ivoxavierQUESTION: Will nexus 4 get the same performance as BQ?16:01
popey\o/16:01
balloonshowdy howdy!16:02
FishForceUltra5QUESTION: Are all Ubuntu Phone core apps available for the x86 Ubuntu Next daily build as well?16:02
ewwwwwwww_QUESTION: will there be a bq E5 or E6  Ubuntu Edition?16:03
sturmflut-workQUESTION: Do you know any (new) details about the upcoming Meizu phone?16:04
Mrtavmi5brra16:04
steve_jobs_QUESTION: Wouldn't be a smart move by canonical bring back Ubuntu One Cloud? It will be magic seeing all our documents sync across all ubuntu devices.16:04
ewwwwwwww_QUESTION: bq also makes tablets :P any plans for a tablet? (not necessary bq)16:05
sturmflut-workQUESTION: Why will the phones from last weeks flash sale only be shipped in march? I ordered the E4.5 with Android and it was shipped to germany within three days.16:06
mhall119I will have 2 Nexus 4's on display, plus my personal one16:06
Mrtavmi5just wanted to say that i dont like how much phone screen has padding16:06
mhall119unfortunately we didn't have any spare Bq devices for me to use16:06
Mrtavmi5no one :)16:07
mhall119Mrtavmi5: yeah, but that's a hardware thing :)16:07
Mrtavmi5yep i know16:08
Mrtavmi5just sayn16:08
mhall119follow https://twitter.com/bqreaders to hear about flash sales16:09
rocky____QUESTION: How many devices sold in the first flash sale?16:10
AlanBellQUESTION: what is the advantage to Canonical and BQ of doing the flash sales?16:10
Mrtavmi5AlanBell: i think that they can then sell all of the devices without having production suficit..16:11
mhall119AlanBell: 50% more flash :)16:11
AlanBellMrtavmi5: so that is "make to order"16:11
AlanBellwhich they are clearly doing anyway with a 1 month lead time16:11
Mrtavmi5AlanBell: i'm not sure what is that.16:11
AlanBellit is an existing hardware platform, they have an established production line for most components (bit of tooling for the un-buttoned screen perhaps)16:12
KnightmareQUESTION: Are you able to shine any light on what the plans are for the Ubuntu Phone project over the next 2yrs?16:13
fredflegelhello, i am bit late, i wanted to ask about ubuntu for phones / touch: for support for caldav/carddav is really important to me because i want to use my non-google services for contacts and calendars. what is the status and roadmap?16:14
mhall119syncthing16:16
rocky____QUESTION: Are Canonical negotiating major application vendors to bring their apps to UT?16:17
AlanBellQUESTION: are there plans to make the "gloryhole" case for other handsets?16:21
Mrtavmi5AlanBell: i think i gave you more realistic answer :)16:23
AlanBellanyone get how flash sales gauge interest? they do drive enthusiasm, but I don't get how they do anything but mask the demand16:23
Mrtavmi5okay now pope fixed16:24
gmb_QUESTION: Some reviewers have said that it takes long to flip through all the scopes one by one, especially if you have many installed. Are there other ways of navigating through scopes?16:24
fredflegelQuestion: Do you know of the Fairphone project? How to you think the Goals of Fairphone and Ubuntu (for Phones) align? Disclaimer: I am a Fairphone owner.16:28
balloonsAlanBell, I think popey said it best as well.. we're not marketing folks, but I think Mrtavmi5 and ourselves have given some logic as to why it may be being sold this way16:29
fredflegelQuestion: caldav/carddav is really important to me because i want to use my non-google services for contacts and calendars. what is the status and roadmap on that? is that a "canonical" or more a community effort?16:29
steve_jobs_QUESTION: Main question. Is Ubuntu Touch a copy of iOS?16:35
popeysteve_jobs_: enough trolling thanks16:36
sturmflut-workQUESTION: If you are talking to major application vendors about porting their applications, do they also get access to development devices? Or are they restricted to the emulator and used Nexus devices like anybody else.16:36
AlanBellQUESTION: with the current barriers to purchase in place, how do you give ISVs the confidence that the platform will eventually be made available to a big enough market?16:38
AlanBellQUESTION: will the screen resolution of the Meizu device be the same as the BQ device?16:40
AlanBellQUESTION: is the background wallpaper located at /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png ?16:41
popeyls: cannot access /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png: No such file or directory16:43
sturmflut-workQUESTION: Will there be some kind of feedback from the app store to the developers, e.g. will Canonical provide aggregate statistics about search keywords so that we know which applications users want the most? An official voting platform or something like that would also be a possibility.16:43
AlanBell:)16:43
gmb_QUESTION: Does the infographic show notifications?16:44
sturmflut-workQUESTION: The current app lifecycle prevents apps from running in the background. Do you think this principle will uphold over time, or will there be some exceptions necessary at some point?16:46
FishForceUltra5QUESTION: In terms of it's functionality, will Unity 8 on the desktop be much different than Unity 7? Also, when are we likely to see some advances in the Unity 8 desktop (e.g. more advanced window management).16:46
AlanBellMX4 resolution is 1152 x 1920 pixels (~418 ppi pixel density)16:46
* AlanBell googled it16:46
sturmflut-workAlanBell: AFAIK there are two different models, the MX4 and the MX4 Pro16:47
AlanBellooh, which is 1536 x 2560 pixels (~546 ppi pixel density)16:48
AlanBellQUESTION: so which MX4 variant will the Ubuntu phone be based on? MX4/MX4 Pro16:49
AlanBellthey are completely different phones, different chipsets and everything16:50
akiva-thinkpadhey all16:50
akiva-thinkpadi got 10 minutes16:50
balloonshey akiva-thinkpad16:51
akiva-thinkpadballoons, do you guys need questions?16:51
popeyI think we're good16:51
akiva-thinkpadmmmm okay :)16:52
ivoxavierQUESTION: Can we expect improvements on the  nexus4 battery management?  If I leave my nexus4 at night, in air plane mode, by the moornig it has lower battery. I tested it many times.16:52
akiva-thinkpad<zapa_2> QUESTION: any chance of getting some C++/OpenGL documentation for Ubuntu Phone SDK?16:53
akiva-thinkpadQUESTION: Are either of you using Unity while you develop?16:53
akiva-thinkpadQUESTION: Are either of you using Unity8 while you develop?16:53
sturmflut-workpopey: Your room is getting very dark, BTW16:54
mhall119I don't think anybody is using Unity 8 desktop regularly yet16:54
popeybug 137241316:54
balloonsFishForceUltra5, and whomever else: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8Desktop16:54
balloonsgive it a whirl, good fun ^^16:55
akiva-thinkpad<SidPayton> QUESTION: Are there conversations ongoing between Canonical and the Fairphone? Fairphone 2 might be a good match with Ubuntu for all security and environmental thinking people like myself.16:55
popeywhere are these coming from?16:55
akiva-thinkpadpopey, mhall was too slow last week16:56
akiva-thinkpad:P16:56
mhall119akiva-thinkpad: ah, those were the ones we didn't get ot?16:56
akiva-thinkpad<ubundrd_> QUESTION: Is 1 GB enough for Ubuntu to run smoothly or will it lag like Android?16:57
akiva-thinkpadyep16:57
ivoxavierQUESTION: Will nexus4 users get the scopes available in the bq?16:58
akiva-thinkpadQUESTION: Unity8 desktop is aiming to emulate Unity7 as a first goal; is there anything that it will add that unity7 does not have? Anything you would like to see? (Like a terminal scope?)16:58
AlanBellQUESTION: what are you putting on the pancakes today?16:58
mhall119terminal scope?16:58
mhall119popey: slackers? We were just more popular than you16:59
akiva-thinkpadmhall119, yah; basically something like guake.16:59
ivoxavierthe nearby scope16:59
sturmflut-workQUESTION: It is currently quite hard to build apps that use 3D acceleration because Qt3D is still incomplete/beta, libSDL is still being worked on and the desktop and the devices support different subsets of OpenGL. Are there any plans to improve this situation, e.g. does Canonical work with the major 3D engine manufacturers?17:00
mhall119akiva-thinkpad: not really what scopes are intended for17:00
