gonzalo_odiard_ |
hi all! |
22:40 |
walterbender |
we've not managed to meet in a while |
22:40 |
|
I wanted to bring everyone up to speed on a few topics |
22:40 |
|
#topic GSoC |
22:40 |
|
As I think you all know, we are participating in Google Summer of Code |
22:41 |
|
we had 37 applications... quite a few good ones... on a nice range of topics |
22:41 |
|
we should know by the end of the week how many slots we get. |
22:42 |
|
CanoeBerry <CanoeBerry!CanoeBerry18.111.29.193> has joined #sugar-meeting |
22:42 |
walterbender |
I think the applications are public: http://www.google-melange.com/[…]oposals_submitted |
22:42 |
|
hi adam |
22:42 |
CanoeBerry |
ciao |
22:43 |
walterbender |
Once we get our slot assignments, we'll meet as a group -- the mentors and anyone fro SLOB who wants to chime in |
22:43 |
|
the goal is to pick students/projects that will bring the most value to the program. |
22:43 |
|
any questions? concerns? ideas? |
22:44 |
|
CanoeBerry: we are discussing Google Summer of Code |
22:44 |
CanoeBerry |
i'm not getting access to http://www.google-melange.com/[…]oposals_submitted |
22:44 |
walterbender |
hmm. |
22:44 |
|
I will try to find the public link |
22:44 |
|
gerald: did you ever figure out how to applu to be a SL mentor? |
22:44 |
JT4sugar |
unable to access Sugar Labs stuff although I signed up through mentor link on GSOC landing page |
22:45 |
walterbender |
seems to recall approving your application |
22:45 |
GeraldA |
walterbender, no. I am working on it now |
22:45 |
walterbender |
JT4sugar: seems you and gerald have the same problem |
22:45 |
|
and for some reason gonzalo_odiard_ doesn't have access to the admin stuff?? |
22:46 |
|
I find the UI unintuitive, but I just figured it was me. |
22:46 |
GeraldA |
when I signed up as a mentor yesterday, there was no place to indicate an affiliation with SugarLabs |
22:47 |
walterbender |
GeraldA: maybe ask on #gsoc |
22:47 |
|
well, meanwhile... |
22:47 |
|
#topic turtleart day |
22:47 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
walterbender, yes, i don't see admin options |
22:48 |
walterbender |
ClaudiaU and I have been helping a group from the learning team organize Turtle Art Day |
22:48 |
|
re GSoC, let's sort these issues out after the meeting |
22:48 |
|
it is tentatively scheduled for October 5 (or 12). |
22:49 |
|
it will be a collection of local events around the world, with a main venue in Paraguay |
22:49 |
|
(probably ANU, but maybe in Caacupe) |
22:49 |
|
I've got a lead on some possible funding for travel. will keep you in the loop |
22:50 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
nice |
22:50 |
GeraldA |
This is so great. |
22:51 |
walterbender |
spent most of the day working on a new TA feature request from .UY |
22:51 |
|
it will be cool: saving stacks as macros to be reused in new sessions. |
22:51 |
|
lots of corner cases to sort out :P |
22:52 |
|
ClaudiaU: any thing to add re TA Day? |
22:52 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
walterbender, like name procedures? |
22:52 |
walterbender |
gonzalo_odiard_: yes. |
22:52 |
|
gonzalo_odiard_: you can make named procedures already, but they are only part of a single instance. |
22:53 |
|
now you can same them and you get an extra palette with your collection to use in any instance |
22:53 |
|
^same^save |
22:54 |
|
more power to the people :) |
22:54 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
:) |
22:54 |
walterbender |
a few more quick updates... |
22:55 |
|
#topic sugar |
22:55 |
|
not sure if you have been seeing the discussion in #sugar and on devel, but the html5/javascript work is really moving quickly |
22:56 |
|
dnarvaez, manuq, lionel laske at al. are doing a great job |
22:57 |
|
I'm pretty excited in general about the pace we are setting with the new release |
22:57 |
|
setting the background has landed :) |
22:57 |
|
sdanielf <sdanielf!~dfrancis@r186-49-50-9.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy> has joined #sugar-meeting |
22:57 |
walterbender |
we are debating how best to implement multiple home views |
22:57 |
sdanielf |
walterbender: I appeared in the best time |
22:58 |
walterbender |
sdanielf: :) |
22:58 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
hi sdanielf :) |
22:58 |
walterbender |
sdanielf: we need to convince gonzalo_odiard_ of our approach :P |
22:58 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
ha ha |
22:58 |
sdanielf |
need to read again the discussion, but I don't like the design too |
22:59 |
walterbender |
lots of little things too, such as the keyboard section no longer crashes sugar :) |
22:59 |
|
had the updater working again, but it crashes again (I suspect a problem on ASLO actually) |
23:00 |
|
in any case, the devel team is doing a great job... |
23:00 |
sdanielf |
I didn't see GSoC projects to enhance ASLO |
23:00 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
i have a little announcement too, we have a help activity with updated content |
23:00 |
walterbender |
sdanielf: yes... would have been a good theme |
23:01 |
sdanielf |
walterbender: and... soon or late somebody will have to do it |
23:01 |
walterbender |
gonzalo_odiard_: yes. very nice |
23:01 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
i wanted to share because a lot of people worked on that, at different times |
23:01 |
sdanielf |
gonzalo_odiard_: congrats |
23:01 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
ClaudiaU, julia reynolds |
23:01 |
|
and the group of volunteers the last year |
23:02 |
sdanielf |
now we just need to keep the documentation up-to-date |
23:02 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
there are content needing a update, but is a big improvement compared with the previous version |
23:02 |
CanoeBerry |
gonzalo_odiard_: thanks! got a canonical link? |
23:03 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
yes, wait |
23:03 |
walterbender |
CanoeBerry: are you using xo 4.0s in Haiti yet? |
23:03 |
CanoeBerry |
Not yet |
23:03 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
CanoeBerry, http://activities.sugarlabs.or[…]/sugar/addon/4051 |
23:05 |
|
i created a repository to the content too, and is written in a easy markup |
23:05 |
|
and is possible create html, epub, pdf... |
23:05 |
walterbender |
CanoeBerry: when you do, touch base, because we have a lot of work on activities for touch that are not yet in the official builds |
23:05 |
CanoeBerry |
gonzalo_odiard_: Right, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Help is too stale to be of much use, got it. |
23:06 |
|
walterbender: awesome, what's the timeline for integrating these into 13.2.0 ideally? |
23:06 |
walterbender |
I wanted to make one more point re sugar devel: it seems that we are picking up a few new developers... a good sign |
23:06 |
ClaudiaU |
hello |
23:06 |
walterbender |
but we always need more :) |
23:07 |
|
for example, I put some of Steve Jacob's students in touch with the Charolette NC deployment and they are working together on some new activities |
23:07 |
|
good stuff |
23:07 |
sdanielf |
will need to research about packaging help for activities and using the help activity to load help for all the activities which include it... that would be a way to update the help together with it's activity |
23:08 |
walterbender |
sdanielf: we do have a GSoC project on help |
23:08 |
|
sdanielf: please be a "shadow" mentor for that project |
23:08 |
sdanielf |
walterbender: true |
23:09 |
walterbender |
sdanielf: seems like there are a few new students of Flavio too |
23:09 |
|
they are contacting me for help :P |
23:10 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
we need involve them before they have a girlfriend :D |
23:10 |
sdanielf |
gonzalo_odiard_: really true |
23:10 |
|
or we need to involve their girlfriends :P |
23:11 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
that should be better :) |
23:11 |
CanoeBerry |
gonzalo_odiard_: just updated http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manuals & http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_%28activity%29 so more ppl find yr work |
23:12 |
walterbender |
sdanielf: seriously... how do we get them involved |
23:12 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
CanoeBerry, thanks! |
23:12 |
ClaudiaU |
