15:34 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:34 <willcooke> * ezoom:
15:34 <willcooke> - done: I fixed the transformations needed to switch coordinate systems and apply the compiz ezoom scale and translation in the unity space. As a result, the desktop components get the correct position and scale.
15:34 <willcooke> - in progress: I try to fix the artifacts that are caused by the way we damage regions and rectangles before drawing. The components are transformed but the regions and rectangles we damage on nux/unity side are not and so, only parts of them are redrawn. The proper way to fix the problem is to transform the dirty regions and rectangles too using the scale factors and translations we extract from compiz. As a first and easier approac
15:34 <willcooke> h, I mark the whole screen as dirty every time that we have a non identity ezoom transformation (=> we have scaled and moved the desktop) so that the whole screen is redrawn. When I fix all the artifacts with that approach, I am going to optimize that code and add the proper transformations for the regions/rectangles.

15:38 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:39 <willcooke> * Started implementing a solution for 16.04 to allow mate and GNOME to have accessibility profiles. I've created new profiles for each environment, and packaged them separately, so those profiles for that single environment will be seeded and installed separately, but are co-installable. Its not optimal, but doesn't require any new code other than in ubiquity, and even then the code changes are 2 lines or so.
15:39 <willcooke> * Was informed about, and reproduced an issue with USB braille displays not functioning when connected. Have started debugging, will resume once a11y profile work above is done.
15:39 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:40 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: PDFs withh filled forms (and other non-static things in PDF) do not print correctly directly, print only from evince or similar. Investigated the case and possible solutions via Ghostscript (works, but not good for mobile) and Poppler (needs more deveopment, Poppler has no PDF output).
15:40 <tkamppeter> - Auto-downloadable printer drivers: Working on how to replace the removed LSB support.
15:40 <tkamppeter> - Phone: The Upstart overrides for printing are merged in now.
15:40 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
