 19:38:54 <popey> welcome..

 19:39:12 <popey> blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone-commons/+spec/initial-clock-development

 19:39:18 <popey> reviews: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+activereviews

 19:39:26 <popey> bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bugs

 19:39:32 <popey> for reference

 19:39:54 <nik90> I have marked certain things as Blocked until we get feedback about the platform API for stuff like the Alarm backend and location API.

 19:39:55 <popey> i realise we spoke already on the design catch up..

 19:40:01 <nik90> yup

 19:40:02 <popey> ok, excellent

 19:40:08 <popey> any issues we need to raise?

 19:40:31 <nik90> cant think of any, but I have a question regarding use of Online API

 19:40:36 <popey> ok

 19:40:59 <nik90> I have found an online website which returns the sunrise/sunset time when you send it the location (lat, long)

 19:41:16 <nik90> let me find the link

 19:41:30 <nik90> http://www.earthtools.org/

 19:41:50 <popey> nice

 19:42:08 <nik90> I am not sure as to using it...in the sense that we are going to use this for commercial purposes and not personal use

 19:42:22 <popey> do they have an API?

 19:42:26 <nik90> some website impose restriction on commercial use..and I am not sure if this is reliable

 19:42:33 <nik90> yeah they have an API

 19:42:35 <popey> if so they'd likely have an acceptable use policy

 19:43:29 <nik90> ok, and we can also do some caching on our end

 19:44:27 <nik90> I'll try to get something working this weekend

 19:44:44 <nik90> for the location, I will give it a static location until we can use the GPS data from the platform api

 19:45:26 <nik90> http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm

 19:45:27 <popey> yeah, we are pushing for a solution to the location detection stuf

 19:45:33 <popey> it's nearly there

 19:45:35 <nik90> lists the services they offer

 19:45:36 <nik90> nice

 19:47:24 <nik90> I am mean while writing up autopilot tests while we wait on stuff. We might need to move some goals to the next month since Nick and others are busy with their jobs

 19:47:37 <mhall119> hi guys!

 19:47:37 <nik90> so at the moment its just me, alessandro and Renato working on the clock

 19:47:41 <nik90> hi mhall119

 19:48:43 <mhall119> so, I just want to saw we're really impressed with the work you guys have done, and how well organized you've been

 19:49:22 <nik90> thnx :)

 19:49:26 <popey> +1

 19:49:36 <mhall119> popey and I would like to turn over some of the administrative responsibility for the clock team to you guys, by promoting you to admins in ~ubuntu-clock-dev

 19:49:51 <popey> +∞ in fact

 19:50:04 <mhall119> this will let you manage the ubuntu-clock-app project on Launchpad, and also lets you recruit and add new members to the team

 19:50:18 <nik90> oh ok..

 19:51:03 <nik90> I think we should add renato to the clock-app dev since he is contributing a lot with autopilot and MP reviews

 19:51:19 <mhall119> the only thing is, you will need to make sure any new contributors have signed the CLA, like you guys did when you joined

 19:51:47 <mhall119> so before you land any code from them, or add them to the team, they will need to sign https://forms.canonical.com/contributor/

 19:52:03 <mhall119> once they've signed the form, msm will add them to this team on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~contributor-agreement-canonical/+members

 19:52:11 <mhall119> after that, you can accept any contributions from them

 19:52:22 <nik90> ok

 19:52:38 <mhall119> and remember that people don't need to be team members to contribute code

 19:52:41 <nik90> who should they add as the canonical project manager or contact?

 19:53:02 <mhall119> but if they have consistently made good contributions, and you trust their judgement doing code reviews, then by all means ask them to join the team

 19:53:05 <popey> me

 19:53:08 <mhall119> popey

 19:53:09 <mhall119> :)

 19:53:39 <nik90> but the code merge will be done only after they sign the agreement

 19:53:39 <mhall119> popey and I will still be around and involved with you guys, but we're going to be spending more time on projects that aren't as far ahead as yours

 19:53:46 <popey> yes

 19:53:49 <nik90> ok

 19:53:54 <mhall119> nik90: there's nothing technically stopping jenkins from landing their code

 19:54:02 <mhall119> so you'll need to check before approving their MP

 19:54:17 <nik90> ok

 19:55:21 <nik90> we might have an issue..I dont think alessandro has signed the agreement even though his code is in the trunk

 19:55:45 <popey> we need to get him to sign it then

 19:55:50 <mhall119> do you know his launchpad username?

 19:55:53 <popey> and we can accept his past contributions

 19:55:55 <nik90> I can ask him to do that

 19:56:01 <nik90> his launchpad id is signor-hyde

 19:56:54 <popey> right, he isnt in the team

 19:56:57 <mhall119> yeah, doesn't look like he has

 19:57:05 <mhall119> so yes, we really need to get him to sign the CLA

 19:57:25 <nik90> I keep in touch with him through #ubuntu-phone-clock and email. I will ask him immediately to do so

 19:57:38 <mhall119> thanks nik90

 19:59:13 <nik90> anything else?

 19:59:25 <popey> I didn't have anything else

 19:59:52 <mhall119> so who are we making admins initially?

 19:59:52 <popey> Just keep doing what you're doing! :D

 20:00:40 <nik90> I am guessing that was addressed to popey

 20:00:58 <popey> no ☻

 20:01:12 <mhall119> well, both of you

 20:01:30 <popey> ok, I am happy for nik90 to make that decision.

 20:01:39 <popey> It makes sense for there to be more than one admin of the team

 20:01:41 <popey> not just one

 20:01:46 <popey> so there's no bottleneck

 20:01:53 <mhall119> ok, nik90 is an admin now

 20:02:02 <nik90> I just got the notification

 20:02:53 <nik90> mhall119: frals and Riussi are away at the moment...however they have contributed a lot to clock-app as well

 20:03:13 <mhall119> nik90: well you're an admin now, so you can promote others

 20:03:17 <nik90> may be once they come back I can ask them if they want to be admins as well

 20:03:20 <nik90> ok

 20:03:42 <popey> that would be great, thanks

 20:03:46 <mhall119> thanks nik90

 20:04:27 <nik90> alrite..will keep you updated on new stuff

 20:04:33 <popey> thanks

 20:04:36 <popey> ok, lets wrap

 20:04:42 <popey> have a great weekend nik90
