 15:34 <jbicha> o/

 15:34 <Laney> Trevinho: everyone forgets about it :|

 15:34 <seb128> lol

 15:34 <Laney> let's GO

 15:34 <Laney> #topic andyrock

 15:34 <andyrock> hey

 15:34 <seb128> I didn't but was not around, had to stop for some errands before the real meeting

 15:34 <andyrock> #1. Changed the design of canonical-livepatch + software-properties, as suggested by mpt

 15:34 <andyrock> #2. Deployed u1 and livepatch-token mock services in canonicstack

 15:34 <andyrock> #3. Created ppa with a demo

 15:34 <andyrock> #4. Fix failing test in unity7 + published new unity7 with the fix in artful

 15:34 <andyrock> #5. WIP: Removing some hacks in the canonical-livepatch gui (in particular communicate with sockets to enable/disable service and check the status)

 15:34 <andyrock> # eow

 15:35 <Laney> nice

 15:35 <Laney> I would try that but I've got no LTS installs :P

 15:35 <Laney> #topic dgadomski

 15:35 <dgadomski> hey

 15:35 <dgadomski> unfortunately nothing desktop-related this week

 15:35 <dgadomski> eof

 15:35 <Laney> hmm

 15:35 <Laney> topic is too long

 15:36 <Laney> thanks dgadomski, maybe next time ;-)

 15:36 <Laney> #topic didrocks

 15:36 <didrocks> :p

 15:36 <Laney> argh

 15:36 <Laney> lose

 15:36 <didrocks> (title is hardcoded)

 15:36 <didrocks> * snapcraft-desktop-helper:

 15:36 <didrocks> - gtk settings init: theme fixes. Got an issue reported on the forum fixed back today. Implemented the necessary file sharing in snapd in unity7 interface (we will need to rename it at some point in "desktop" interface IMHO). That's now merged, pending on a snapd release.

 15:36 <didrocks> - add other fixes to launcher (add more default theming). Did the same for our GNOME platform snap.

 15:36 <didrocks> - strip down the size by removing ubuntu-app-platform (old SDK) support and Mir for desktop support. Branched though so that people can easily readd them if they need it.

 15:36 <didrocks> * amazon:

 15:36 <didrocks> - rebase the snap on the version 1.0

 15:36 <didrocks> - retested fully with rescratching the whole config (with and without the snap). The same blocker persists. Amazon guys acked the issue.

 15:36 <didrocks> - discuss with security team and provide the base snap to get an interface working (at least, up to the point we are blocked on)

 15:37 <didrocks> * discussed some client-specific snap workshop organization

 15:37 <didrocks> .

 15:37 <Laney> \o/

 15:37 <Laney> thanks

 15:37 <Laney> #topic duflu

 15:37 * Laney pastes

 15:38 <Laney> * PulseAudio:

 15:38 <Laney> - SRU of A2DP Bluetooth audio fixes to xenial:

 15:38 <Laney> . Moving slowly, but still moving:

 15:38 <Laney> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+queue?queue_state=1&que

 15:38 <Laney> ue_text=pulseaudio

 15:38 <Laney> * BlueZ:

 15:38 <Laney> - Proposed upgrade to 5.45: bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696075

 15:38 <Laney> - Drafted docs for git usage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Deskto

 15:38 <Laney> pTeam/Bluetooth/BluezGit

 15:38 <Laney> - Blocked on a spurious test failure in a downstream:

 15:38 <Laney> . bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696480

 15:38 <Laney> . Wrote, proposed and landed an upstream fix for python-dbusmock.

 15:38 <Laney> . No bluez fix required.

 15:38 <Laney> . Unblocked: Pitti released the fix to Ubuntu today.

 15:38 <Laney> * Video acceleration:

 15:38 <Laney> - Tested a variety of players, videos, and hardware, in order to...

 15:38 <Laney> - Worked out test cases (specific videos and target threshold)

 15:38 <Laney> - Now I'm confident I know exactly what to do, and in what order.

 15:38 <Laney> * Ubuntu Themes:

 15:38 <Laney> - Fixed the most visible and annoying Ambiance theme bug in artful Gnome:

 15:38 <Laney> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-themes/+bug/1693613

 15:38 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1693613 in Ubuntu theme "Ambiance/Radiance headerbar has more padding on top than on bottom" [Medium,In progress]

 15:38 <Laney> * Daily bug maintenance across gnome-shell, bluez, pulseaudio and mir.

 15:38 <Laney> #topic jbicha

 15:39 <jbicha> • Joined Core Dev

 15:39 <jbicha> • Pushed latest security release (2.16.3) of webkit2gtk in to Debian 9 "Stretch" just before the deadline. No promises for future updates but we'll see how it goes.

 15:39 <jbicha> • Became GNOME Tweak Tool's maintainer. Did a 3.25 and a 3.24 release and let people know about some 3.25 improvements via my blog.

 15:39 <jbicha> • Started discussion of several default apps on the ubuntu-desktop list

 15:39 <seb128> jbicha, congrats on coredev

 15:39 <jbicha> • Vala 0.36 transition

 15:39 <jbicha> thanks

 15:39 <jbicha> eof

 15:39 <kenvandine> jbicha, congrats!

 15:40 <Laney> nice one

 15:40 <Laney> #topic jamesh

 15:40 <Laney> only people with short nicks are allowed from now on

 15:40 <didrocks> :p

 15:41 <Laney> * xdg-desktop-portal/snap prototype: The snapd changes and

 15:41 <Laney> xdg-desktop-portal changes are working, with a snap being able to talk

 15:41 <Laney> to e.g. the proxy resolver interface.  I should have the

 15:41 <Laney> xdg-document-portal changes ready shortly, which is needed for the

 15:41 <Laney> file picker portals.  Next step is to put builds of the prototype into

 15:41 <Laney> a PPA.

 15:41 <Laney> * gnome-software: Robert asked me to look at a few bugs here.  I'm

 15:41 <Laney> starting on installation of snaps with classic confinement.

 15:41 <Laney> #topic heber

 15:41 <Laney> guessing it's you ;-)

 15:41 <heber> Hey guys! For the QA side:

 15:41 <heber> * Desktop test plan in progress.

 15:41 <heber> * Ubiquity and smoke jobs more stable and reliable.

 15:41 <heber> * First version of Job for running desktop tests on HW in progress.

 15:41 <heber> * Started discussing/defining some foundations needed before starting automating post install/upgrade tests.

 15:41 <heber> EOF

 15:42 <Laney> nice

 15:42 <Laney> is that still running at the platform-qa-jenkins?

 15:42 <heber> correct

 15:42 * Laney nod

 15:42 <Laney> thanks!

 15:42 <heber> https://platform-qa-jenkins.ubuntu.com/view/Artful/

 15:43 <Laney> #topic kenvandine

 15:43 <kenvandine> * Enabled the mir backend in gtk and patched out the need for content-hub

 15:43 <kenvandine> * In updating my gnome snaps to use the gnome-3-24 snap I found some more packages that needed backports for xenial, so I backported those in the gnome-3-24 PPA

 15:43 <kenvandine> * Finished off the blog post on the poll results, and worked with marketing to get that published on insights.

 15:43 <kenvandine> * Had a great call with the gnome design team and gnome-shell maintainers

 15:43 <kenvandine> * trying to organize having mpt join us at guadec for a day to talk about status icons

 15:43 <kenvandine> * eof

 15:43 <kenvandine> s/*//g

 15:43 <kenvandine> :)

 15:44 <Laney> nice

 15:44 <Laney> design day sounds good ;-)

 15:44 <kenvandine> yeah, we plan to discuss the status icons api there

 15:44 <kenvandine> mpt would be a great addition to that

 15:44 <didrocks> kenvandine: on backport in the PPA, does it means that people who will want to use that platform snap will have to install the PPA? Do we have instructions for this?

 15:44 <Laney> we should get a topic list going so we don't forget to raise stuff

 15:45 <kenvandine> didrocks, yes... and there will be instructions

 15:45 <didrocks> "will" ok :-)

 15:45 <Laney> also

 15:45 <Laney> kenvandine: do you have commit access at gnome?

 15:45 <kenvandine> didrocks, once we get a few snaps done and in the store i'll be posting about that on insights

 15:45 <Laney> might be an idea to commit that de-content-hubification patch

 15:45 <kenvandine> Laney, i used to :)

 15:45 <kenvandine> not sure about now

 15:45 <Laney> so we're vanilla again when there's a point release

 15:46 <kenvandine> Laney, i wanted a little time to make sure those that wanted the mir backend are cool with having it without the pasteboard

 15:46 <didrocks> kenvandine: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com sounds a better place for this :)

 15:46 <seb128> kenvandine, didrocks, do we need to use the ppa? or should we just build a -dev snap from it?

 15:46 <kenvandine> didrocks, even better :)

 15:46 <didrocks> seb128: no -dev snap

 15:46 <Laney> ahah

 15:46 <didrocks> that was requested, worked on, and nacked

 15:47 <kenvandine> bummer

 15:47 <kenvandine> that would have been cool

 15:47 <didrocks> we can publish a tarball though

 15:47 <didrocks> let's discuss that maybe this week?

 15:47 <seb128> I though kde sort of did it for their framework

 15:47 <didrocks> they do a tarball

 15:47 <seb128> just building a tar for the snap builddir

 15:47 <seb128> from

 15:47 <seb128> but yeah

 15:47 <didrocks> +1 on the tarball

 15:47 <seb128> it's probably too much to discuss in that topic

 15:47 <didrocks> but let's discuss that maybe tomorrow?

 15:47 <seb128> *meeting

 15:54 <Laney> #topic Trevinho

 15:54 <Trevinho> · Joined the Fractional Scaling GNOME Hackfest

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Setup various hardware to run GNOME with jhbuild and fractional scaling branches

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Wrote an algorithm to pick the closest fractional levels close to integers that we can pick as logical size (to still have integer resolutions)

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Updated gnome-control-center to support new configuration API and to show available scaling values per selected resolution

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Some fixes in gnome shell toolkit to paint things taking in account the resource-scale

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Fixed the fullscreen animation when using resource scaling in wayland

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Defined al algorithm (to be tuned, as per discussion with vendors) to pick the preferred scaling value for each resolution (to be used as default)

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Various other random fixes

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Lots of other discussions (http://go.3v1n0.net/FactorialScalingJournal)

 15:54 <Trevinho> ◦ Writing a resume of it

 15:56 <Laney> #topic tkamppeter 2

 15:56 <Laney> - CUPS: Did some tests for automatic queue creation and for needed changes on

 15:56 <Laney> cups-browsed. Found a crash in the new code in the CUPS library and reported

 15:56 <Laney> it upstream. Requested also a feature that clients can distinguish between

 15:56 <Laney> permanent and temporary CUPS queues.

 15:56 <Laney> - cups-filters: Tests upstream work for making it working with the new CUPS

 15:56 <Laney> which by itself auto-creates print queues.

 15:56 <Laney> - Google Summer of Code 2017: Student project coordination and mentoring.

 15:56 <Laney> - Bugs.
