15:36 <Laney> you're welcome
15:36 <willcooke> Good stuff, thanks a lot Laney
15:36 <Laney> I got moved down the list which gave me time to find a nice one
15:36 <willcooke> #topic larsu
15:37 <willcooke> larsu, how goes?
15:37 <larsu> unproductive week for me as well due to sickness last week :/
15:37 <larsu> I finally finished the Icon stuff in uitk today
15:38 <larsu> which makes unity8 tests pass so that they can finally start using it
15:38 <larsu> which gives them hack-free rectangular icons
15:38 <larsu> (same for system settings)
15:38 <larsu> seb128: we should be able to remove the "width: height" thing you added to that MR
15:38 <seb128> system settings is already using it
15:38 <willcooke> excellent!
15:38 <seb128> oh, nice
15:38 <seb128> btw the settings icon is wrongly shapped on the device for some reason
15:38 <seb128> let's see if your update fixes it
15:39 <larsu> otherwise I did some bug triage, but really didn't get much else done on the couch last week
15:39 <willcooke> hope you're feeling better larsu
15:39 <larsu> seb128: I hope. It was quite a bit of meddling around. I think a qml expert should do this next time
15:39 * larsu couldn't find one sadly
15:39 <Laney> and now i
15:39 <seb128> larsu, thanks for stepping up and doing it!
15:39 <willcooke> #topic qengho
15:39 <Laney> and now it is you*
15:39 <larsu> willcooke: ya, much better now. Thanks!
15:40 <seb128> larsu, ask Laney next time, he's a big fish and a toolkit expert
15:40 <larsu> will do :)
15:40 <willcooke> XD
15:40 <willcooke> qengho, your turn
15:40 <Laney> teach a man to fish
15:41 <desrt> man down!
15:41 <willcooke> he's marked as away
15:41 <willcooke> ok, moving on
15:41 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:41 <willcooke> seb128, your turn
15:42 <seb128> ubuntu-system-settings for touch

15:42 <willcooke> Thanks a lot seb128
15:42 <willcooke> #topic Sweetshark
15:43 <willcooke> Sweetshark, how goes LibreOffice
15:43 <Sweetshark> • first added, then removed mergedlibs because of fdo#84315
15:43 <Sweetshark> • finalized LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 (some upstream guidance there too: releng was on vacation, we had someone step in for the first time)
15:43 <Sweetshark> • wrote a integration test for fdo#84315 in Python upstream -- sadly exposing JVM bootstrap issues on in the Pyyhon test stuff
15:43 <Sweetshark> • will look into rewriting the same in Java now
15:43 <Sweetshark> • code dumped the docker/saltstack based tinderbox infra framework at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=tb3-docker.git;a=summary
15:43 <Sweetshark> • upcoming week: bisect the mergedlibs thing, if test is there, see if we still can get mergedlibs back, for context:
15:43 <Sweetshark> • • libmerged reduced cold startup from 3 seconds to 2 seconds on a SSD, see my ad-hoc measurements at http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4123642.html
15:43 <Sweetshark> • • some people reported cold startup of ~13 seconds on spinning disc hardware, I assume mergedlibs to be very measurable there
15:43 <Sweetshark> EOF
15:44 <Sweetshark> whops - that looks like a utf-8 fail ;)
15:44 <willcooke> thanks Sweetshark
15:44 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:44 <willcooke> tkamppeter, what's new in printing?
15:45 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Released 1.0.59 upstream and in Utopic, with several bug fixes on color management, the latest ippusbxd, and a PPD for IPP Everywhere (PWG Raster) printers.
15:45 <tkamppeter> - Dialog with Brother about their work on IPP Everywhere printers and them testing Ubuntu's IPP Everywhere printer support
15:45 <tkamppeter> - Bought an add-on module which should make IPP Everywhere printers out of HP lasers.
15:45 * willcooke is excited about the dialogue with Brother
15:46 <willcooke> You will probably remember tkamppeter and I had some meetings with printer makers a little while ago, and this is the first fruit of those meetings.
15:46 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter
15:46 <tkamppeter> Got knowledge of http://www.mopria.org/ which seems simply some marketing of IPP Everywhere printers but not coming from the PWG who created IPP Everywhere.
15:48 <willcooke> :/

15:48 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:48 <willcooke> TheMuso
15:48 <willcooke> * SPent most of this week trying to come up with a report on our Section 508 compliance WRT the Ubuntu desktop, however vague queries are vague so I could only give a general overview on where we stand.
15:48 <willcooke> * Spent some time doing a little upstream work for the speech dispatcher project, getting a release out the door. Going forward I may want to spend more time on this given it would be beneficial for the phone as the TTS server that is used for TTS related things including accessibility.
15:48 <willcooke> * Reviewed my revisions to the accessibility wiki documentation to see if I had missed anything obvious, could probably use some improvement, will be updating soon.
