15:45 <willcooke> thanks Sweetshark
15:45 <willcooke> tkamppeter, you're up
15:46 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:46 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Released 1.0.61 upstream and in Utopic, to let the PPD files use the "*cupsFilter2: ..."  entry instead of "*cupsFilter: ..." to supply the destination file format as some backends, especially the IPP backend do certain things depending on the data format. Also fixed a memory leak in cups-browsed
15:46 <tkamppeter> - First look into how to backport the IPP Everywhere support into Trusty
15:46 <tkamppeter> - Investigations on printing multiple copies on PDF printers
15:46 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
15:46 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter - I will get back to you asap on the back porting stuff

15:47 <willcooke> * Slides
15:47 <willcooke> * Slides
15:47 <willcooke> * More Slides
15:47 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:48 <willcooke> * Further discussion upstream about moving Speech DIspatcher forward and making it useful for touch.
15:48 <willcooke> * Discussion with Qt devs upstream about whether Qt is going to have its own text to speech API. I started work on QML bindings for Speech Dispatcher some months back, but it may be quicker to work on Qt's cross-platform API instead, which would improve portability.
15:48 <willcooke> * Hit an interesting bug with ibus-daemon and modifier keys causing issues with Orca in GNOME apps, need to debug further.
15:48 <willcooke> * Sponsored an upload for at-spi2-atk which pulls a fix from upstream needed for GNOME shell in combination with synaptic and some other apps.
