I didn't know any about python 14:11 ok 14:11 balloons: can you help with https://code.launchpad.net/~vrruiz/ubuntu-rssreader-app/emulators-to-class/+merge/216935 please? 14:12 JoeyChan: sorry, you said you spoke to Kylin team? 14:13 Kylin team said they would like to help 14:14 but they need to assess the workload 14:15 did they say specific areas they'd like to help with? 14:15 I am waiting for further reply from them 14:16 not yet, they said they also have limited human resource 14:16 ok, understandable. 14:16 will keep contact with them :) 14:17 Ok. 14:18 Starting next week I want to have a couple of design hangouts with the head of apps design at canonical. 14:18 I will invite core apps devs to them 14:18 Will let you know when they will be. 14:19 OK :) 14:21 I have a question about content-hub API 14:22 ok, that may be one for kenvandine... 14:22 Just like the images share APIs are provided by the Gallery app 14:22 Are there any APIs similar provided by File-Manager ? 14:23 Not yet. 14:23 File manager app devs were to work on this, but it wasn't ready for 14.04. 14:24 So those APIs already in blueprints ? 14:25 not in detail, no. 14:25 What is it you're after? 14:27 Someone ask me that he can't open files using Qt's API 14:27 I answered that apps are isolated 14:28 But seems there's no way to open files in user space 14:29 correct 14:29 That's exactly what content hub and file manager should allow. 14:29 Might be worth you contacting the file manager devs directly? 14:30 I think they should provide some APIs just like the Galllery app 14:30 Oh.. I can file a bug as a wishlist :P 14:31 you could do that 14:32 Anything else? 14:33 Another question about apps in background 14:33 ok 14:33 I know that apps are all paused when background 14:34 Are there anything possible to keep running when in background ? 14:35 in general, no 14:35 like music play and download manager, anything else ? 14:35 But it depends what the app wants to do 14:35 yes, for playing music and downloading, you can 14:35 ok.. 14:35 What is it you want to do in the background? 14:35 like GPS recording 14:36 or sound recording 14:36 sth works like real-time 14:37 Interesting. 14:37 I don't think either of those are on the roadmap, but we should track them. 14:37 An very common example 14:37 car navigation 14:37 true. 14:38 let me see what I can find about the plans for the future. 14:38 I'll get back to you. 14:38 the app can't be paused when using it 14:39 yeah. navigation is a big one 14:39 Ok. Anything else? 14:39 That's all.. so far :) 14:40 heh 14:40 Ok, thanks, have a great weekend! 14:40 #endmeeting
