 18:02:18 <popey> hi daliusd rferrazz

 18:02:22 <markg85> The benefit for you guys would be to have easily accessible backend data through QML which will allow for a very easy calendar implementation on you ubuntu touch side

 18:02:27 <rferrazz> hi

 18:02:32 <daliusd> hi

 18:02:37 <popey> #topic introductions

 18:02:43 <popey> (I think we all know eachother by now?)

 18:02:50 <rferrazz> sure

 18:02:57 <daliusd> I guess so

 18:02:58 <mhall119> hello calculator devs!

 18:03:06 <popey> ok, lets skip that then

 18:03:30 <popey> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+spec/initial-calculator-development

 18:03:40 <popey> looks good, are there any tasks we should add to that list?

 18:03:48 <popey> well, there must be ☺

 18:04:08 <popey> because those are all DONE and the calculator is awesome, but not complete yet ☺

 18:04:18 <daliusd> I have created two other blueprints

 18:04:19 <daliusd> some time ago

 18:04:21 <rferrazz> currently we are waiting inputs from the design team

 18:04:37 <daliusd> but as rferrazz says we need input from designers

 18:04:46 <popey> ok, we certainly don't want you to be blocked on the design team.

 18:04:55 <daliusd> but we are :)

 18:04:59 <rferrazz> but before the design war we have done all that tasks

 18:05:08 <rferrazz> on the blueprint

 18:05:36 <popey> do you consider the calculator to be feature complete?

 18:05:37 <daliusd> popey, maybe you know what will be required

 18:05:41 <popey> would you do your taxes with it? ☺

 18:05:51 <daliusd> I would :)

 18:06:07 <mhall119> US tax code is too complicated for math

 18:06:28 <daliusd> thanks god I'm not from US (while working for US company)

 18:06:50 <daliusd> I imagine that we could work on memory/history

 18:07:01 <popey> the backscroll?

 18:07:10 <daliusd> rferrazz did some initial development there but that's just initial steps

 18:07:13 <daliusd> backscroll

 18:07:16 <daliusd> search by date

 18:07:23 <daliusd> search by added text

 18:07:31 <daliusd> That's just ideas :)

 18:07:41 <popey> yes, that would be awesome

 18:07:54 <mhall119> so I was playing with lp:~f-riccardo87/ubuntu-calculator-app/new-design

 18:08:11 <rferrazz> it isn't 100% stable

 18:08:18 <rferrazz> but it works

 18:08:19 <mhall119> but it's looking great

 18:08:22 <daliusd> here I have assigned task to myself: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+spec/logic-improvements

 18:08:34 <mhall119> I noticed that the scientific buttons were removed

 18:08:57 <daliusd> BTW, I might be using blueprints in a wrong way :)

 18:09:12 <popey> yeah, blueprints aren't the most intuitive things

 18:09:13 <daliusd> mhall119, our idea is to move scientific to other tab

 18:09:22 <mhall119> ok

 18:09:25 <rferrazz> with the stacked view it's impossible to do scientivic calculations

 18:09:27 <popey> just tested that new-design, it's great.

 18:09:38 <mhall119> also, I didn't see a way to start a new set of calculations

 18:09:56 <popey> mhall119: c?

 18:10:03 <rferrazz> yes

 18:10:14 <rferrazz> it can be renamed

 18:10:15 <popey> c kinda "tears off the paper"

 18:10:30 <mhall119> wasn't working for me

 18:10:39 <popey> strange, just tried it here

 18:11:00 <mhall119> mbut then again I had merge conflicts and just dide a quick and dirty resolution, so I probably just broke it if it had been working

 18:11:10 <daliusd> I guess everyone already saw that but in case I have summed by concerns about simple calculator here http://devblog.sandbox.lt/ubuntu_phone_calculator_design.html

 18:11:17 <popey> i just did a clean branch and it worked well here

 18:11:22 <daliusd> I hope design team read that :)

 18:11:26 <mhall119> ok, nvm that last thing then :)

 18:11:33 <popey> i hadn't seen that, sorry.

 18:12:12 <daliusd> popey, no problem, you can read it now or later

 18:12:13 <rferrazz> another thing: now we are using customized buttons, do we have to use the default components?

 18:12:37 <daliusd> I guess we should use default but they are limiting

 18:12:45 <daliusd> at least now

 18:13:00 <popey> #action popey discuss http://devblog.sandbox.lt/ubuntu_phone_calculator_design.html and current calculator functionality with design team

 18:13:00 * meetingology popey discuss http://devblog.sandbox.lt/ubuntu_phone_calculator_design.html and current calculator functionality with design team

 18:13:05 <mhall119> ideally it should use the default components, and if they are limited we need to document thelimitation so the SDK team can improve them

 18:13:48 <mhall119> there will be times when we something might be so app-specific that it's not appropriate to build it into the default components

 18:13:49 <daliusd> mhall119,  how to do that?

 18:14:04 <mhall119> daliusd: file bugs against the ui-toolkit project on launchpad

 18:14:27 <daliusd> mhall119, in this case I think that should be part of SDK - that's just button's text font parameters if I remember correctly

 18:14:38 <mhall119> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit

 18:14:39 <daliusd> mhall119, OK I will do that

 18:15:14 <popey> daliusd: I would merge the items you have at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+spec/logic-improvements into https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+spec/initial-calculator-development

 18:15:27 <popey> so we have a single place to track all the progress

 18:15:30 <mhall119> +1

 18:15:35 <daliusd> popey, OK.

 18:15:41 <mhall119> Blueprints aren't Launchpad's strongest feature, the fewer of them the better

 18:15:46 <mhall119> IMO

 18:15:47 <popey> indeed

 18:15:54 <daliusd> do the same with https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+spec/ui-improvements

 18:16:02 <popey> yeah

 18:16:17 <popey> wouldn't want to lose track of this great stuff!

 18:16:54 <daliusd> :)

 18:16:57 <popey> ok, lets move on...

 18:16:59 <daliusd> ok

 18:17:08 <popey> #topic Set milestones

 18:17:28 <popey> so we have a milestone which I mentioned on the list as 16 May, for "Alpha Quality" versions of all apps

 18:17:33 <popey> now you guys are clearly way ahead of that

 18:17:48 <popey> what we'd like to do is get some wider testing of the app

 18:17:58 <popey> so we have enabled the building of the app in a ppa..

 18:18:02 <popey> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/+archive/daily

 18:18:13 <popey> that ppa has all the apps in, built from trunk every day

 18:18:20 <daliusd> That's great :)

 18:18:23 <rferrazz> good!

 18:18:25 <popey> x86, amd64 (for desktop testing) and armhf for testing on-device

 18:18:38 <popey> now none of the apps are currently in the phone image

 18:18:52 <popey> but having them in a ppa makes it much easier for testers to try the apps out

 18:19:09 <popey> just a "sudo add-apt-repository... " and "sudo apt-get install..." which they can do over ssh to the phone

 18:19:20 <popey> obviously that's not for end users to do, but devs and testers

 18:19:23 <rferrazz> good!

 18:19:27 <daliusd> Have we instructions we could point to other people?

 18:19:34 <popey> and given this phone image we have is a "developer preview" we don't think that's too much pain yet

 18:19:37 <popey> not yet

 18:19:44 <popey> there's a slight bug in the phone at the moment

 18:19:49 <daliusd> ok :)

 18:19:54 <popey> your app won't show up on the launcher, and I'm working to get that fixed

 18:20:08 <popey> we also don't have a set of manual tests for people

 18:20:26 <popey> but we're working on that too... Nick Skaggs (balloons on irc) is doing that part of the work

 18:20:38 <popey> so we should have that very soon

 18:21:05 <daliusd> It looks like we are better covered than we have thought :)

 18:21:11 <popey> I'll send a mail about the PPA to the list shortly, so everyone knows what we're up to

 18:21:14 <popey> yeah, totally!

 18:21:28 <popey> I'm super excited about all this, it's coming along nicely

 18:21:49 <popey> that was basically it for what I had to discuss..

 18:21:55 <popey> #topic Any other business

 18:22:07 <popey> do you guys have any other questions / issues to raise?

 18:22:18 <rferrazz> i have one?

 18:22:31 <rferrazz> is there a set of ui elements like icons

 18:22:55 <rferrazz> that we can use

 18:23:04 <mhall119> good question, I don't know

 18:24:33 <daliusd> I guess there is something

 18:24:41 <daliusd> because demo contains some icons

 18:25:07 <daliusd> nope

 18:25:07 <rferrazz> what demo?

 18:25:12 <mhall119> yeah, but whether that's official or thrown together for the demo

 18:25:16 <daliusd> those icons are part of demo

 18:25:24 <popey> mhall119: is that a question for the sdk team?

 18:25:29 <daliusd> /usr/lib/qt-components-ubuntu/demos

 18:26:01 <mhall119> popey: probably more for the design team, but it should probably get packed by the SDK team

 18:26:26 <daliusd> I'm sure there should be some system-wide icon set

 18:26:37 <daliusd> otherwise each app will end-up with their own

 18:26:44 <rferrazz> agree!

 18:26:56 <popey> do you want to ask on the mailing list?

 18:27:03 <popey> it seems like something everyone should know about

 18:27:22 <popey> and we can make sure the design team see it

 18:27:45 <rferrazz> ok i can make the question on the mailing list

 18:28:16 <daliusd> Looked into ui-toolkit source code

 18:28:19 <daliusd> they have initial set

 18:28:20 <daliusd> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/trunk/files/head:/themes/Ambiance/qmltheme/artwork/

 18:28:25 <popey> thanks rferrazz

 18:30:10 <popey> ok, I think we're done for now?

 18:30:45 <rferrazz> yes, so we can do the two tab calculator merging the simple view with the scientific one?

 18:31:20 <popey> mhall119: ^^
