18:06 <popey> how are you?
18:06 <m-b-o1> heyho o/
18:06 <m-b-o1> fine, just booting #203
18:06 <popey> yeah, promoted image at last! :D
18:07 <m-b-o1> shot a nexus 10 on ebay btw
18:07 <popey> You mad fool ☻
18:07 <popey> was it cheap?
18:07 <m-b-o1> 240, okay
18:07 <m-b-o1> e
18:07 <m-b-o1> €
18:07 <popey> business expense? ☻
18:07 <popey> So on the subject of design..
18:08 <m-b-o1> no, but it's okay. wanted a 10", with CM support. tried one fomr sony, but that was a bad one
18:08 <popey> ahh
18:08 <popey> I know the design guys are busy, but they're working on some new patterns for the weather app.
18:08 <m-b-o1> oh, ok
18:08 <popey> I know they have a design sprint next week, where I believe much of it will be presented to the head of design
18:08 <popey> (mark)
18:08 <m-b-o1> okay
18:08 <popey> and I expect us to get something more concrete after that
18:09 <m-b-o1> would be fine
18:09 <popey> cool.
18:09 <popey> so the current guidance from above is that we need to be keeping on top of bugs, ensuring tests pass, that we don't regress the images
18:10 <popey> so we can keep with the forward momentum of new images at least twice a week.
18:10 <popey> That's the target
18:10 <m-b-o1> sounds reasonable
18:10 <popey> Now at the moment the rate of change in weather app is of course very low
18:10 <popey> We're "done" for the most part until we get new designs
18:10 <m-b-o1> dpm approved the new header, and a MP with out Sheets is waiting for reveiw:
18:10 <m-b-o1> https://code.launchpad.net/~martin-borho/ubuntu-weather-app/pagestack/+merge/231093
18:11 <popey> Excellent, I'll take a look.
18:11 <popey> Do you need anything from me for the geonames service?
18:11 <m-b-o1> todo is the backend change to the geolookup api
18:11 <popey> nik90 has requested lat/long lookup
18:11 <m-b-o1> yes, me too!
18:11 <popey> oh, you'd use the lat/long lookup?
18:12 <m-b-o1> we will have to make a cpp extension too for weather, I'll have a look at the things nik90 did with the clock reboot
18:13 <popey> whats the extension for?
18:13 * nik90 looks
18:13 <m-b-o1> yes, for "scan for location" and to get  better location data
18:13 <popey> AIUI you just use qtlocation
18:13 <popey> the new location provider just gives you better results
18:13 <popey> (when it works - which it doesn't in #203)
18:13 <m-b-o1> popey: for getting the dst
18:13 <popey> ah
18:14 <m-b-o1> I will ahev a look over the weekend about integrating the geolookup service
18:14 <nik90> m-b-o1: what do you need the latitude and longitude for?
18:14 <nik90> m-b-o1: to detect the user's location?
18:15 <m-b-o1> nik90: no, to get all suitable data we need for requesting the weather apis
18:15 <m-b-o1> as I've implemented it, some things were missing
18:15 <m-b-o1> but can have chnged since then
18:16 <nik90> m-b-o1: well QtLocation should provide you the user's lat and long, would that be enough for you to use to get more data?
18:16 <m-b-o1> should be!
18:16 <nik90> or do you need to use lat, long to query ubuntu geonames for additional info?
18:17 <nik90> what I requested to popey was to be able to search for cities using "lat, long". So basically reverse geocoding
18:17 <m-b-o1> yes, that's what weather needs too!
18:17 <nik90> cool
18:17 <nik90> popey: so that's 2 core apps that need it :-D
18:17 <m-b-o1> popey: ^
18:17 <m-b-o1> :)
18:18 <nik90> m-b-o1: for now, use http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?formatted=true&lat=52.1046&lng=4.2756&username=krnekhelesh&style=full
18:18 <popey> ok
18:18 <popey> I'll get on that.
18:18 <nik90> m-b-o1: that's what I am using to test during the feature implementation
18:18 <nik90> it returns the nearest city based on the given lat,long
18:19 <m-b-o1> nik90: already using that
18:19 <nik90> cool
18:19 <popey> now, is there anything that differs about the results you need?
18:20 <popey> do you both need nearest N results, weather needs only one right?
18:21 <m-b-o1> yes, if it's a reasonble place ( city or something). geonames can be quite extensive
18:21 <popey> nik90: you expect one result from a lat/long search?
18:22 <m-b-o1> weather uses "featureClass" param:   p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }  http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?style=full&username=uweatherdev&lat=53.5953&lng=10.0122&maxRows=25&featureClass=P
18:22 <nik90> popey: only one
18:22 <m-b-o1> but I'll take what I get :)
18:22 <popey> ok, I'll spin this up on a separate server for testing and let you know, nik90 you have a bug number for this?
18:22 <nik90> popey: since I don't want to show a list of nearest location but instead just show one ourselves
18:22 <nik90> popey: 1 sec
18:23 <nik90> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-geonames/+bug/1359206
18:24 <popey> ok, magic, thanks
18:27 <popey> Ok, anything else?
18:27 <m-b-o1> nope
18:27 <popey> have added a task for your apps to that bug
18:27 <m-b-o1> thanks
18:27 <popey> so we can track whatever you guys need to do too.
18:27 <popey> super.
18:28 <popey> Great. When does your Nexus 10 arrive?
18:28 <m-b-o1> already here :)
18:28 <popey> ooh
18:28 <popey> what do you think?
18:28 <m-b-o1> nice device, like it
18:28 <m-b-o1> seems durable
18:28 <popey> I went out playing Ingress a while back and someone took one of those
18:28 <popey> battery life was quite long
18:29 <m-b-o1> yeah, build quality is also good. has 4.4.4 too. but will root it and put cm on it
18:29 <m-b-o1> and utouch! ;)
18:29 <popey> heh
18:29 <popey> Have fun with that ☻
18:29 <popey> Ok. lets wrap up then..
18:30 <m-b-o1> I will
18:30 <m-b-o1> :)
18:30 <popey> Thank you chaps!
18:30 <m-b-o1> thanks popey and nik90!
