15:39 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:39 <willcooke> (verbose bullets...)
15:39 <willcooke> chromium (most days):
15:39 <willcooke> - I am still trying to add some basic input handling to ozone. According to the documents, every platform window must have a window delegate class from which it can dispatch ui::Events to ozone. X11 platform has a converter from X events to ui::Events and implements its own dispatcher/delegate classes that inherit from some chromium ui/events/platform classes and use some event libraries that are recommended. Windows, on the other
15:39 <willcooke> hand have their own event implementation used by aura and wayland seems to use a simpler approach by dispatching events from the PlatformWindow class that is also the delegate, directly. According to the guide I should follow X's paradigm but after experimenting a little, I decided to give a try to the wayland approach that seems much simpler and clean. Still in progress, build is slow - I keep running into out of memory problems on
15:39 <willcooke> a 16GB machine!!, I hope to have more results by the meeting time or tomorrow. :)
15:39 <willcooke> unity (1 day):
15:39 <willcooke> - trying to fix some problems in the shadows/decorations code: under some circumstances, when a deco window receives the focus out event it disappears although it shouldn't. This causes some window manager operations to not work well and I am trying to find a solution. (+I believe that fixing this bug and combining it with a small change in unityshell will fix the rolling windows too => good feature for small screens/VMs in
15:39 <willcooke> combination with the lowgfx fixes)
15:39 <willcooke> - still pending: ucc (lowgfx) review
15:39 <willcooke> #topic Laney
15:40 <Laney> • Mucho queue reviews and FFe discussions, etc
15:40 <Laney> • Upload the contest wallpapers for 17.04
15:40 <Laney> • Work some more on rebasing g-s onto master
15:40 <Laney> • Britney:
15:40 <Laney> ∘ Review branch from rob_ru to re-send emails periodically when packages are blocked in -proposed
15:40 <Laney> ‣ Some discussions about what the frequency should be
15:40 <Laney> ‣ Some spinoff discussions about whether to do this for SRUs - it was decided not to directly, but to use the SRU tools to do that; they already have a facility to message about old SRUs - this needs to be beefed up
15:40 <Laney> ∘ Develop a testsuite with a fake SMTP server (python-smtpd is nice) for the email stuff, and use that to not send mails if a package is blocked explicitly or if it's rejected temporarily, for example if tests are still running
15:40 <Laney> • Help people to get some builds now that way more touch stuff has s390x builds due to upstart being dropped, yay!
15:40 <Laney> • gstreamer 1.10.4
15:40 <Laney> • Push some NM changes through from rico_tz, including upstreaming a -Wformat-security fix (was committed within minutes - awesome upstream)
15:40 <Laney> 🕳️
15:40 <willcooke> thanks Laney

15:41 <willcooke> * Helped Til work through an issue he was seeing with Pulse, chromium and the control center. Moving the pulse configs out of the way resolved the problem for now, need to take a look to see what it may have been, although not sure if I'll find anything obvious.
