12:00 <popey> How you doing?
12:01 <JoeyChan> ha   a very powerful typhoon is near my city   :P
12:02 <JoeyChan> luckily not over my head  :P
12:02 <popey> ooh!
12:02 <popey> We have thunder and lightning and hot sun ☻
12:03 <popey> Reuters say your typhoon is now a "super typhoon"!
12:03 <JoeyChan> yep  indeed !
12:03 <popey> Hope you can keep safe!
12:04 <JoeyChan> I'm ok here
12:04 <JoeyChan> it's about 600km far away
12:04 <popey> that thing is huge!
12:05 <popey> scary. we never have them here
12:05 <JoeyChan> I heard that all trees in cities are "cut" down
12:06 <popey> ⍨
12:07 <popey> Ok, so, shorts.. ☻
12:07 <JoeyChan> never mind  :P     I saw an official designer is working on Shorts now ?
12:07 <JoeyChan> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rssreader-app/+bug/1309630
12:08 <popey> Oh interesting, I didn't spot that.
12:08 <JoeyChan> and I didn't have any news since last week
12:08 <popey> Ben runs the apps design team
12:08 <JoeyChan> any new from Vky
12:08 <popey> I will ask what the plans are.
12:08 <JoeyChan> that's good
12:08 <JoeyChan> lol
12:09 <popey> I dont know why he assigned to himself
12:09 <popey> probably just tidying up the design bugs, as there were a lot of them
12:09 <JoeyChan> ok ...
12:09 <popey> but I will get an answer from him.
12:09 <popey> I didnt have anything else either..
12:10 <JoeyChan> i c
12:10 <popey> I am pushing new versions of the apps to the stores when they are updated - for example with translations
12:10 <popey> We have a beta freeze at the start of august
12:10 <popey> and release to manufacturer is at end of august
12:10 <JoeyChan> oh
12:10 <popey> so during that period there may be bugs reported.
12:11 <popey> Also, there is a "sprint" next week, for two weeks
12:11 <popey> where lots of canonical people are in London working on the platform for the final two weeks before beta freeze
12:11 <JoeyChan> hack days ?
12:11 <JoeyChan> oh  cool
12:11 <popey> so there may be some work resulting from that, if the platform changes for example
12:11 <popey> but we'll keep an eye out, and let you know via bugs
12:12 <popey> e.g. if the toolbar or something changes
12:12 <JoeyChan> :)
12:12 <popey> Next week I am on vacation.
12:12 <popey> But dpm, mhall119 and ballons are still around ☻
12:13 <JoeyChan> copy that  :)
12:13 <JoeyChan> enjoy your vacation
12:13 <JoeyChan> Roman and I are working on parsing opml
12:14 <popey> Awesome.
12:14 <JoeyChan> facing lots problems ..
12:14 <popey> heh, not surprised
12:15 <JoeyChan> so I can't guarantee any deadline of it  :P
12:16 <popey> no worries. there is no pressure for that before rtm
12:16 <popey> it's more "nice to have"
12:16 <JoeyChan> :)
12:17 <JoeyChan> btw
12:17 <JoeyChan> one thing about the font issue I mentioned months before
12:18 <JoeyChan> most people don't like the current Chinese font
12:18 <popey> I remember..
12:18 <popey> I suspect we may have a different font on the Meizu phone.
12:18 <JoeyChan> any schedule to change it ?
12:19 <JoeyChan> ok.. how about the nexus device ?
12:19 <popey> Not that I'm aware, but I will ask.
12:19 <popey> I don't know.
12:19 * popey makes a note
12:20 <JoeyChan> I doubt that there are some Chinese engineers working on sth about Chinese ..
12:20 <JoeyChan> Also I found many bugs in Chinese input method
12:20 <popey> have you filed them?>
12:21 <JoeyChan> not yet,  because I can't reproduce them in some situation
12:22 <JoeyChan> And I forgot where I should report ..
12:22 <JoeyChan> need a launchpad address
12:22 <popey> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard/+bugs
12:22 <popey> probably
12:23 <popey> or ask in #ubuntu-touch, Elleo works on the keyboard. He may be able to help / direct you.
12:23 <popey> We do have some engineers in China.
12:23 <JoeyChan> oh  thx  :)
12:24 <popey> Ok, anything else?
12:25 <JoeyChan> no  that's all  :)
12:26 <popey> Brilliant, well, hope you're all safe from the typhoon! Have a great weekend!
12:26 <JoeyChan> enjoy ur weekend and vacation   :D
12:27 <popey> thanks
