boredomist |
Hello |
| 17:22 |
CDeLorme |
here |
| 17:22 |
|
This week I looked into Telepathy and Jabber, since we need a common communication service between platforms. |

I spoke with alsroot regarding the sugarlabs jabber server and he helped clarify how to connect and register. |
| 17:23 |
|
I found a peice of software called gajim that is based on Gtk+ and python with telepathy and jabber, so I am in the process of tearing that apart. |
| 17:23 |
|
but I still don't have an solid Gtk3 specific references, so it's been mostly reading, I will be doing tests starting on Monday |
| 17:24 |
walterbender |
CDeLorme: tch may be able to help |
| 17:24 |
|
or rgs |
| 17:25 |
|
both know the collabora guys pretty well too |
| 17:26 |
CDeLorme |
Excellent, I will ask them when I start doing some code, the telepathy protocol is the biggest blocker for me right now. |
| 17:26 |
|
dbus is... complicated might not be the right word. |
| 17:27 |
walterbender |
CDeLorme: lots of people in #sugar who can help with that part |
| 17:27 |

any questions/comments for Casey? |
| 17:31 |
|
surajgillespie: wanna chime in? |
| 17:31 |
surajgillespie |
Yup |
| 17:32 |
|
I was away from home for a few days, so work slowed down a bit. |
| 17:32 |
|
Nevertheless, |
| 17:32 |
|
my work on the activity palette was merged, |
| 17:32 |
|
then i read up on Jasmine framework and managed to write a small patch for unit testing of env.js, |
| 17:33 |
|
finally, got my blog up and running. |
| 17:33 |
|
For the forthcoming week/s my objective is to come up with specifications and develop a webactivity. |
| 17:33 |
walterbender |
cool |
| 17:33 |
surajgillespie |
An activity which can replicate http://markable.in/ |
| 17:33 |
walterbender |
I just wrote my first webactivity this morning :) |
| 17:34 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: Ah. I'll try that :) |
| 17:34 |
|
Also, lookign into a bug which has crept into webactivities. |
| 17:35 |
walterbender |
which one :) |
| 17:35 |
surajgillespie |
When you place the move over the activity icon in the home view, |
| 17:35 |
|
a pop up drops down. |
| 17:35 |
walterbender |
yes |
| 17:35 |
|
by design |
| 17:35 |
surajgillespie |
they don't appear for web activities. |
| 17:35 |
walterbender |
they do for me |
| 17:35 |
surajgillespie |
Hmm. . strange. |
| 17:36 |
|
did you play around with datastore? |
| 17:36 |
|
of the web activity, i meant ? |
| 17:36 |
walterbender |
well, you have to click |
| 17:37 |
|
I haven't gotten to the DS yet... just sprites, mouse events, drawing on the canvas... |
| 17:37 |
|
trying to get toolbar buttons to work now |
| 17:37 |
|
they are more complicated than they need to be |
| 17:37 |
surajgillespie |
Ok, I noticed that, for other activities when we just hover the mouse over the activity icon in the home view |
| 17:38 |
|
a popup drops down where we can create a new instance |
| 17:38 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: yes. python activities use hover to preview toolbars |
| 17:38 |
|
but it seems we need to click in JS |
| 17:39 |
surajgillespie |
But when we click ,it opens the activity itself. |
| 17:39 |
mzepf |
is back (sorry!) |
| 17:40 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: I guess we are talking about two different things: the toolbar and the homepage? |
| 17:40 |
|
surajgillespie: maybe we can discuss in #sugar after the meeting? |
| 17:40 |
surajgillespie |
I was talking about the home view/ homepage :) |
| 17:40 |
|
alright. |
| 17:40 |
|
That's my update for the week. |
| 17:41 |
walterbender |
thx |
| 17:41 |
|
boredomist: wanna go next? |
| 17:41 |
boredomist |
sure |
| 17:42 |
|
This week I worked on a lot more finalizing of the server, and began working on the client interface |
| 17:42 |
|
I made the API return descriptive error messages and added some more documentation on the API |
| 17:43 |
|
I added a new backend using yandex's translation service (i don't remember if this was implemented already last friday) |
| 17:43 |
|
Added a few more tests, and made the html front a bit friendlier to use |
| 17:44 |
walterbender |
boredomist: can you paste the url? |
| 17:44 |
boredomist |
sure, one second |
| 17:45 |
|
http://home.erikprice.net:5005/ |
| 17:45 |
|
walterbender: ^ |
| 17:46 |
walterbender |
thx |
| 17:47 |
|
doesn't let me select languages :P |
| 17:47 |
boredomist |
well that's no good |
| 17:47 |
|
what are you doing? |
| 17:47 |
decause |
boredomist: working for me :) nice work thusfar |
| 17:49 |
gonzalo_odiard |
boredomist, what backend is using to translate? |
| 17:49 |
walterbender |
maybe I have a broken Chome... |
| 17:49 |
decause |
walterbender: I'm using firefox |
| 17:50 |
boredomist |
gonzalo_odiard: depends on the languages. selects between apertium, api.apertium.org, and yandex |
| 17:50 |
|
i'm also using firefox, i'll try in chrome |
| 17:51 |
walterbender |
yup... works for me in Firefox too |
| 17:51 |
surajgillespie |
Works in chrome for me :) |
| 17:51 |
boredomist |
walterbender: it seems to work for me in chrome. |
| 17:51 |
walterbender |
funny. I have had some problems with some other sites in chrome since I upgraded to F19 |
| 17:52 |
boredomist |
it's somewhat counterintuitive in that if you select the "to" language, then the "from" language, the "to" language will be reset |
| 17:52 |
|
i need to change that |
| 17:55 |
|
walterbender: i would guess that the initial request to /api/v1/pairs (which populates the translation selections) is being blocked somehow, but i'm not sure |
| 17:57 |
walterbender |
anything else for boredomist ? |
| 17:57 |
boredomist |
nothing more from me |
| 17:57 |
decause |
boredomist: nice work |
| 17:58 |
boredomist |
thanks |
| 17:58 |
walterbender |
axitkhurana: next? |
| 17:58 |
axitkhurana |
sure. |
| 17:58 |
|
Sorry, not much to report this week: |
| 17:59 |
|
- Added a method to webservices Account to get latest post from webservice and a class to store a generic post from any service. |
| 17:59 |
|
- On clicking the small cloud icon (above the friend's buddy icon) the post gets printed to the log currently, which will be later displayed in the expanded view of the mini profiles, when the GTK widget is ready. |
| 17:59 |
|
. |
| 18:01 |
walterbender |
some progress |
| 18:02 |
axitkhurana |
Yes, next week I will try to have at least a working implementation of (expanded) mini profiles. |
| 18:03 |
walterbender |
looking forward to it |
| 18:03 |
|
anyone have any comments? |

callkalpa: wanna report? |
| 18:06 |
callkalpa |
sure |
| 18:07 |
|
as per the discussion I had with walterbender and gonzalo, we agreed to drop Mallard and use the current rst |
| 18:07 |
|
I have implemented a help viewer with webkit that is capable of displaying the help in the activity |
| 18:08 |
|
it is accessed with Alt+Shift+h, then a window will pop up and display the help there. Similar to view source |
| 18:09 |
|
for simplicity the relationship between the activity and help file is maintained in a text file which will be maintained by the help content maintainer |
| 18:09 |
walterbender |
nice |
| 18:09 |
callkalpa |
I have tested it and it displays the help of the current activity |
| 18:10 |
walterbender |
callkalpa: is there a patch I can apply for testing? |
| 18:10 |
callkalpa |
There's some more work to be done such as displaying error messages when there are no help content |
| 18:10 |
|
I didn't push yet, thought to complete the rest of the work and push it |
| 18:11 |
walterbender |
callkalpa: maybe it should spam the maintainer to write help :) |
| 18:11 |

| 18:11 |
gonzalo_odiard |
callkalpa, yes :) |
| 18:11 |
walterbender |
callkalpa: it would be nice to be able to play with it, even in its incomplete state |
| 18:11 |
rgs |
CDeLorme: (re gtk3 or any other questions - just send me a pm) |
| 18:11 |
walterbender |
very nice |
| 18:12 |
callkalpa |
:-) I thought of something like "help content for this activity is not available, want to continue? please visit <help content writing page link>" :-) |
| 18:12 |
|
Once that part is over, I'll look into l10n with sphinx |
| 18:13 |
gonzalo_odiard |
callkalpa, just ask if you have any problem, i already tested that |
| 18:13 |
decause |
callkalpa: I def enjoy sphinx, glad you are looking into that route |
| 18:13 |
callkalpa |
gonzalo_odiard, great |
| 18:14 |
|
that's all for the moment, I'll send you a patch tonight |
| 18:14 |
walterbender |
callkalpa: maybe email the group when your patch is ready to test |
| 18:14 |

Sorry for not having been available at the beginning of the meeting. |
| 18:15 |
|
This week, I replaced the primitives of some blocks with instances of my new Primitive class. |
| 18:16 |
|
(Primitives are the stuff that gets executed when the block is run.) |
| 18:16 |
|
This has the advantage that the Primitive objects can not only be executed, but also transformed into Python ASTs. |
| 18:17 |
|
I've plugged my work into TurtleArt, and it works. |
| 18:17 |
|
Next week, I'll focus on the transformation into ASTs. |
| 18:18 |
walterbender |
mzepf: I'll do some testing over the weekend... |
| 18:18 |
|
did I forget anyone? |
| 18:18 |
|
rahul could not come today |
| 18:19 |

tl;dr, one of the Sugar activities developed in the HFOSS course at RIT, and hacked on during the National Day of Civic Hacking, was selected to attend the Champions for Change event at the White House :) |
| 18:22 |
|
SkyTime is still under active development, and the team is working on translations. So far they've got espanol, and Francais. |
| 18:22 |
|
boredomist: I'll be pointing our students at your service for help with the translations to other languages :) |
| 18:22 |
|
we're sending Jenn to the event with 2 XO laptops for the showcase |
| 18:24 |
gonzalo_odiard |
decause, congratulations :) |
| 18:24 |
walterbender |
decause: they should add it to pootle so the i18n team can do the translations |
| 18:24 |
decause |
walterbender: oh? |
| 18:24 |
walterbender |
decause: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/S[…]Sugar_in_the_news |
| 18:24 |
|
decause: I can explain the process to them |
| 18:24 |
gonzalo_odiard |
decause, maybe can use same translations from clock activity? |
| 18:24 |
decause |
walterbender: that would be quite helpful |
| 18:25 |
walterbender |
I have one heads up: in two weeks is the mid-term evaluation for GSoC |
| 18:25 |
|
decause: have them ping me |
| 18:25 |
decause |
walterbender: can do |
| 18:25 |
|
brush: ^ |
| 18:25 |
|
let the rest of the team know please |
| 18:26 |
|
walterbender: we'll have the students document the process so that future projects can easily follow the same steps during their coursework |
| 18:26 |
walterbender |
goodness |
