15:43 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:43 <willcooke> - cups-filters upstream work:
15:43 <willcooke> o JPEG input support for auto-generated print queues for IPP network printers
15:43 <willcooke> o When auto-generating a PPD-less print queue for an IPP network printer,
15:43 <willcooke> poll some of its capability info via IPP and Bonjour and use it for the
15:43 <willcooke> default settings of the queue.
15:43 <willcooke> o Fixed bugs in the PDF output of imagetopdf.
15:43 <willcooke> - ghostscript: in the CUPS/PWG-Raster output added support for SGray, SRGB,
15:43 <willcooke> and Adobe RGB color spaces.
15:43 <willcooke> - Bugs.
15:43 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:43 <willcooke> * More a11y updates/merges for wily.
15:43 <willcooke> * Fixes issues found with my unity 7 a11y code for the dash, thanks to the Unity 7 team for helping work through that.
15:43 <willcooke> * Spent time discussing and helping implement extra functionality in speech-dispatcher upstream to help the Qt folks with the development of a new cross-platform Qt component for text to speech that is likely to land in Qt 5.6+, this work will be ongoing as it is likely to be needed by the phone at some point as well as the KDE project.
15:44 <willcooke> #topic robert_ancell
15:44 <willcooke> - Did some cleaning on XMir patch.
15:44 <willcooke> - Worked on an XMir branch that split the DRI2 module out from xfree86
15:44 <willcooke> and made common so it can be shared by XMir. This is harder than it
15:44 <willcooke> seems due to being developed with xfree86 in mind and has to retain
15:44 <willcooke> compatible with all third party drivers. We currently copy this code
15:44 <willcooke> into XMir and it might be hard to upstream like this.
15:44 <willcooke> - Started updating XMir to compile against new Mir in wily.
15:44 <willcooke> - Updated shotwell (blocked due to HeaderBar changes).
15:44 <willcooke> - Released lightdm 1.14.2 and did SRU to vivid.
15:44 <willcooke> #topic Any Other Business
15:44 <willcooke> Oki, questions etc....
15:45 <larsu> yeah, I'd like some more detail on how the sprint went last week
15:45 <larsu> attente, desrt ^
15:45 <larsu> nested mir server is awesome
15:46 <seb128> yeah, a summary of what was discussed/came out of it would be nice
15:46 <seb128> what's the status of the gtk mir backend?
15:46 <larsu> how far along is the gtk backend, and do you need more help with thta?
15:46 * larsu high-fives seb128
15:46 <seb128> :-)
15:46 <desrt> this is a difficult question to answer
15:46 <desrt> there are some discussions that are still ongoing
15:46 <desrt> let's chat about that after the meeting
15:47 <larsu> okki
15:48 <willcooke> in which case, let's end the meeting now
15:48 <willcooke> any objections?
15:48 <seb128> unsure if the Gtk/Mir status update interest most of the people in the team
15:48 * Sweet5hark is interested ...
15:48 <seb128> I guess if we keep it on this channel it doesn't matter much if it's after the meeting
15:48 <willcooke> yeah, let's do that
