16:36 <popey> Hows it going?
16:36 <nik90> Great. How was your vacation?
16:36 <popey> awesome!
16:36 <nik90> :)
16:36 <popey> hot (which is surprising)_
16:36 <nik90> hehe
16:37 <nik90> Enjoy the summer before it is gone
16:38 <nik90> I suppose your tried the latest clock app reboot from the store
16:39 <nik90> We are nearly finished. Just some visual tweaks upcoming like custom swipe delete, fast scroll and multiselect modes
16:39 <nik90> giorgio said he would be reviewing the clock app and provide design feedback soon
16:39 <popey> great
16:39 <popey> yes, been playing with clock reboot
16:40 <nik90> Tracking all the bugs at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+milestone/rtm
16:41 <popey> is the swipe delete yours or sdk?
16:42 <nik90> at the moment it is the SDK. But I have a wip branch where I am starting to use the address book's swipe delete component
16:42 <nik90> I was asked to borrow multiselect, swipe delete, fastscroll from the address book app by the designers
16:42 <popey> ok
16:42 <popey> music app devs need to use similar component in their listview update
16:43 <nik90> yeah ahayzen told me
16:43 <nik90> the address book listitem is very similar to what they need. It is all defined in one file that can be easily imported.
16:43 <popey> ok
16:46 <nik90> I think I will do one last update to the store at the end of next week before we replace the old clock app with the reboot version.
16:46 <nik90> I will try to get the debian packaging done this weekend.
16:46 <nik90> AP tests are being worked on steadily at the moment by carla
16:46 <popey> do we have autopilot tests yet?
16:46 <popey> ah ☻
16:47 <nik90> :)
16:48 <nik90> We are adding an option to allow users enable/disable vibration when an alarm is triggered
16:48 <popey> oh nice!
16:48 <popey> the new clock is leagues ahead of the old one
16:48 <popey> i like the new second hand
16:48 <popey> much nicer to have the smooth movement
16:48 <nik90> We have a fix in the silo (waiting due to alpha freeze :/) which will turn the screen on when the alarm is triggered similar to receiving a call.
16:48 <nik90> yeah :)
16:49 <popey> oh that's good news
16:49 <popey> and changing the sound?
16:49 <nik90> I need zsombor to first fix the alarm sound bug in the SDK.
16:49 <nik90> not sure when he is back
16:50 <nik90> frankly with the new clock app we have overcome all the limitation and bugs we couldn't fix in the old clock app.
16:50 <popey> yeah
16:50 <nik90> we have 3 c++ plugins compared to our original plan of 1 plugin which has helped quite a bit
16:50 <popey> heh
16:50 <nik90> :D
16:51 <popey> do you have any blockers you need help unblocking?
16:52 <popey> other than zsombor?
16:52 <nik90> nope
16:52 <nik90> 3 critical bugs for alarms which requires zsombor
16:52 <nik90> and debian and translation frameworks to be done
16:53 <popey> ok.
16:53 <popey> do you need help with the debian packaging?
16:53 <popey> might be able to rope dholbach in to help
16:54 <nik90> yeah I would need help with that
16:54 <nik90> with the c++ plugins I am not entirely sure how to do it.
16:55 <nik90> I will help dholbhack by doing the initial legwork for him.
16:55 <nik90> Just need him to check over the debian rules file where the plugin is built according to the arch
16:55 <popey> ok, I'll ping him a mail..
16:55 <nik90> thnx
16:56 <popey> sent
16:57 <popey> have you spoken to dpm about the translations bits?
16:57 <nik90> I did
16:57 <popey> ok.
16:57 <nik90> the translation has become slightly more complicated
16:57 <popey> oh?
16:58 <nik90> since the local world cities we provide are in a xml file, it is not straightforward to do the translation for that
16:58 <nik90> I talked to tsdgeos and he gave me some ideas
16:58 <nik90> but I dont have the technical know how to do it
16:58 <dpm> hi all, I'm being summoned :)
16:58 <nik90> dpm: hey :)
16:59 <nik90> dpm: hey so I talked to tsdgeos about the translation of the xml file
16:59 <nik90> dpm: he said it is doable but we need to do some extra stuff that made partial sense to me :P
16:59 <dpm> nik90, I'd still recommend to put the cities in JS or QML if possible. I was following the conversation, and I'd add that in my experience doing translations with XML is a pain
16:59 <nik90> I have the conversation at http://paste.ubuntu.com/7841908/
17:00 <nik90> dpm: it is not that easy to put it in JS or QML
17:00 <dpm> yeah, I followed it, it was after our chat
17:00 <nik90> since the c++ plugin we implemented takes a xml model as input
17:00 <nik90> also we plan to use online search after discussing with the designers which also returns a xml model
17:01 <dpm> ah, bummer. Yeah, online search should not be an issue if the results are returned translated already
17:02 <nik90> dpm: lets leave the xml translation part for a bit later (a week or two) by which time we should have almost everything ready
17:03 <dpm> nik90, in that case, I'd say let's go for untranslated cities, as it will be a bit more complex
17:03 <dpm> yeah
17:03 <popey> makes sense
17:05 <popey> nik90: when are you planning the next push to the store?
17:05 <nik90> popey: end of next week.
17:05 <popey> ok.
17:05 <popey> looking forward to it.
17:05 <nik90> :)
17:06 <nik90> btw what is sergieusens irc name?
17:06 <nik90> I wanted to ask him some cmake related stuff
17:06 <dpm> sergiusens
17:06 <nik90> ah ok :p
17:06 <popey> ☻
17:06 <popey> he's around now
17:07 <popey> I can see him approving things in the store ☻
17:07 <nik90> yeah, I will talk to him after the meeting
17:07 <nik90> it is just about updating the version number in the cmake files based on bzr rev no.
17:07 <nik90> nothing critical
17:07 <popey> ah okay
17:07 <popey> Ok then, shall we wrap up?
17:08 <nik90> yup
17:08 <nik90> hey when does the alpha freeze end?
17:08 * popey consults https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseSchedule
17:09 <nik90> looks like tomorrow hopefully
17:09 <popey> looks like it.
17:09 <popey> Ok, thanks nik90!
17:09 <nik90> that's about it
