I didn't know any about python 14:11 <popey> ok 14:11 <popey> balloons: can you help with https://code.launchpad.net/~vrruiz/ubuntu-rssreader-app/emulators-to-class/+merge/216935 please? 14:12 <popey> JoeyChan: sorry, you said you spoke to Kylin team? 14:13 <JoeyChan> Kylin team said they would like to help 14:14 <JoeyChan> but they need to assess the workload 14:15 <popey> did they say specific areas they'd like to help with? 14:15 <JoeyChan> I am waiting for further reply from them 14:16 <JoeyChan> not yet, they said they also have limited human resource 14:16 <popey> ok, understandable. 14:16 <JoeyChan> will keep contact with them :) 14:17 <popey> Ok. 14:18 <popey> Starting next week I want to have a couple of design hangouts with the head of apps design at canonical. 14:18 <popey> I will invite core apps devs to them 14:18 <popey> Will let you know when they will be. 14:19 <JoeyChan> OK :) 14:21 <JoeyChan> I have a question about content-hub API 14:22 <popey> ok, that may be one for kenvandine... 14:22 <JoeyChan> Just like the images share APIs are provided by the Gallery app 14:22 <JoeyChan> Are there any APIs similar provided by File-Manager ? 14:23 <popey> Not yet. 14:23 <popey> File manager app devs were to work on this, but it wasn't ready for 14.04. 14:24 <JoeyChan> So those APIs already in blueprints ? 14:25 <popey> not in detail, no. 14:25 <popey> What is it you're after? 14:27 <JoeyChan> Someone ask me that he can't open files using Qt's API 14:27 <JoeyChan> I answered that apps are isolated 14:28 <JoeyChan> But seems there's no way to open files in user space 14:29 <popey> correct 14:29 <popey> That's exactly what content hub and file manager should allow. 14:29 <popey> Might be worth you contacting the file manager devs directly? 14:30 <JoeyChan> I think they should provide some APIs just like the Galllery app 14:30 <JoeyChan> Oh.. I can file a bug as a wishlist :P 14:31 <popey> you could do that 14:32 <popey> Anything else? 14:33 <JoeyChan> Another question about apps in background 14:33 <popey> ok 14:33 <JoeyChan> I know that apps are all paused when background 14:34 <JoeyChan> Are there anything possible to keep running when in background ? 14:35 <popey> in general, no 14:35 <JoeyChan> like music play and download manager, anything else ? 14:35 <popey> But it depends what the app wants to do 14:35 <popey> yes, for playing music and downloading, you can 14:35 <JoeyChan> ok.. 14:35 <popey> What is it you want to do in the background? 14:35 <JoeyChan> like GPS recording 14:36 <JoeyChan> or sound recording 14:36 <JoeyChan> sth works like real-time 14:37 <popey> Interesting. 14:37 <popey> I don't think either of those are on the roadmap, but we should track them. 14:37 <JoeyChan> An very common example 14:37 <JoeyChan> car navigation 14:37 <popey> true. 14:38 <popey> let me see what I can find about the plans for the future. 14:38 <popey> I'll get back to you. 14:38 <JoeyChan> the app can't be paused when using it 14:39 <popey> yeah. navigation is a big one 14:39 <popey> Ok. Anything else? 14:39 <JoeyChan> That's all.. so far :) 14:40 <popey> heh 14:40 <popey> Ok, thanks, have a great weekend! 14:40 <popey> #endmeeting
