15:31 <Laney> hi
15:32 <willcooke> Let's start with andyrock
15:32 <willcooke> #topic andyrock
15:32 <andyrock> hey all
15:32 <andyrock> so I've been working to clean up the cr+mir branches to pass them to the mir-team
15:32 <andyrock> so they can take the work done until know
15:32 <andyrock> eow
15:33 <willcooke> thanks andyrock
15:33 <willcooke> #topic dgadomski
15:33 <willcooke> At a sprint
15:33 <willcooke> #topic jbicha
15:33 <jbicha> gnome-terminal 3.24 with pcre2 commits reverted to postpone the pcre2 MIR
15:34 <jbicha> Enabled build tests for mutter, clutter (needed for MIRs)
15:34 <jbicha> Enabled autopkgtest for gnome-settings-daemon as a workaround for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/782170
15:34 <ubot5> Gnome bug 782170 in color "color: build test requires compiled schemas" [Normal,New]
15:34 <jbicha> GunnarHJ did initial Ubuntu Docs merge for GNOME transition. I sponsored and helped move it along.
15:34 <jbicha> Re-implemented a basic Amazon webapp using Epiphany (LP: #1688627) and filed its MIR. Security is not thrilled with maintaining webkit2gtk so I think this depends on how badly we need this feature.
15:34 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1688627 in webapps-applications (Ubuntu Artful) "Amazon web app needs an implemetation that does not require webbrowser app" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1688627

15:38 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:38 <willcooke> - OpenPrinting Summit 2017: Virtual/phone meeting on Tue - Thu. Outcomes and plans:
15:38 <willcooke> o Mopria support: Mopria is based on the PCLm format, a subset of PDF (readable with PDF reader) only containing raster images of the pages, nothing to do with PCL. Got hint on were to find specs on the Summit, found the specs, some free software sample code, talked with developers of PDF filters about how to implement in cups-filters
15:38 <willcooke> o IPP Scanning (driverless scanning), IPP System Service (replacement for printer web admin interface): Driverless support for MF devices, subject for GSoC 2018.
15:38 <willcooke> o WiFi Direct Print: Printer discovery via WiFi, find out how to integrate smoothly.
15:38 <willcooke> o IPP 3D Printing: Reach out to LibreCAD and similar projects
15:38 <willcooke> o cups-browsed: Fit to new CUPS concepts: Use CUPS local (temporary) queues, use new CUPS APIs to get lists of existing print queues and printer capabilities/options from servers
15:38 <willcooke> - OpenPrinting Summit 2018: Most probably a physical meeting again, April 24 - 26, 2018 in Sunnyvale (probably at Apple)
15:38 <willcooke> - Google Summer of Code 2017: Student projects got officially announced by Google. No conflicts or issues, so there are 6 students on the print dialog and 1 student on cups-filters (print filled PDF forms).
15:38 <willcooke> - cups: Synced 2.2.3 from Debian
15:38 <willcooke> - cups-filters: Upstream-added build-time option to make cups-browsed set up driverless network printers by default, do make syncing cups-filters with Debian easier.
15:38 <willcooke> - Bugs.
