Note that on Monday, we need to begin submitting evaluations |
| 17:17 |
|
If anyone has any problems with the GSoC website, please let me know |
| 17:18 |
|
It is critical that everyone submit evaluations (mentors and students) |
| 17:19 |
|
is looking into the issue of how to fix some problems with the wrong mentors assigned to the wrong students |
| 17:19 |
aneesh-andro |
walterbender: Is there a template? On what to include in the evaluation? |
| 17:19 |
walterbender |
aneesh-andro: there is a questionaire |
| 17:19 |
|
i.e., you'll be led through a series of questions |
| 17:20 |
CDeLorme |
walterbender: the questionaire is for students too, or just mentors? |
| 17:20 |
tch__ |
walterbender: alright! |
| 17:21 |
walterbender |
I think everyone has to fill out a questionaire |
| 17:21 |
|
There is a window of ~5 days to do this. |
| 17:21 |
CDeLorme |
I didn't see it in my todo's, but I did get an email and decause filled out a form. |
| 17:21 |
walterbender |
checks |
| 17:23 |
|
CDeLorme: the schedule says mentors *and* students |
| 17:23 |
|
we have from Monday to Friday |
| 17:23 |
CDeLorme |
yeah, dashboard doesn't have an evalulations option though |
| 17:24 |
mzepf |
CDeLorme: That option will only appear on Monday. |

#topic updates |
| 17:25 |
|
CDeLorme: wanna start off the updates? |
| 17:25 |
CDeLorme |
walterbender: sure, this week was a good week. |
| 17:26 |
|
iamaregee2 has quit IRC |
| 17:26 |
CDeLorme |
Made contact in #telepathy and got a lot of questions answered, so I can now setup a chat channel and have a direction to go for the video streams |
| 17:26 |
|
apparently they use Call now and not tubes or streamedmedia channels, and they pointed me to farstream |
| 17:27 |
|
debian either updated or I had found an invalid page, because farstream versions exist on it as well, perhaps it was backported. |
| 17:27 |
|
so that will probably expedite the creation of video when I start working on that (probably the end of next week). |
| 17:28 |
|
currently working on getting the contact list working, found the method to check for updates to the contact list asynchronously. |
| 17:28 |
|
at this point I am setting up a second machine to test network communication, but I have a channel request working and send_message working |
| 17:28 |
|
so receiving the messages and connecting channel requests are all that is left for the network stack |
| 17:28 |

CDeLorme |
I also will be adding an account management screen to the UI for jabber accounts. To allow new users (on non-sugar specifically) to register or select from their accounts. |
| 17:30 |
|
I have to do a bit of reading on farstream, but I was pointed to an set of modern python examples, so I should have the material I need |
| 17:30 |
|
I posted a bunch of updates in my blog this week going over what I was working on. |
| 17:30 |
walterbender |
+1 to blogging |
| 17:30 |
CDeLorme |
Also, yesterday FOSS@RIT visited an elementary school and taught python programming to 6th graders for a few hours, so that was fun. |
| 17:30 |
walterbender |
started blogging again too |
| 17:31 |
|
soon you'll be abel to do that using Turtle Art :) |
| 17:31 |
CDeLorme |
walterbender: it is nice to share stuff you are working on, especially if it can be helpful to others doing the same. |
| 17:31 |
decause |
19 6th graders learning turtle via pippy :) |
| 17:32 |
|
we have some pics, will likely post to opensource.com soon |
| 17:33 |
walterbender |
maybe queue them up for Turtle Art Day in October |
| 17:33 |
decause |
walterbender: looking forward to TA python export :) |
| 17:33 |
walterbender |
seems like a good transition point for mzepf to report in |
| 17:33 |
decause |
walterbender: nod nod |
| 17:33 |
mzepf |
This week, got the exported code from last week to work. |
| 17:33 |
|
The following blocks can now be exported: 'forward', 'back', 'setxy', 'right', 'left', and 'repeat'. |
| 17:33 |
|
callkalpa <callkalpa!~kalpa61.245.160.235> has joined #sugar-meeting |
| 17:34 |
mzepf |
Then I made the 'forever' block exportable, too. |
| 17:34 |
|
That is, I wrote a Primitive object for it, which handles both execution and export. |
| 17:34 |
|
This was especially difficult since some of the other loop blocks rely on 'forever' for execution. |
| 17:35 |
|
Things broke a few times while I was working on this, but now everything is fixed again. |
| 17:35 |
|
The exported code for the 'forever' block seems to work, but it first executes all the code before showing the results. |
| 17:35 |
walterbender |
was pleased with the reorg of the hidden block class too |
| 17:35 |
mzepf |
And since it's an infinite loop, it never gets to show the results. |
| 17:36 |
walterbender |
did you get a chance to test adding an idle call? |
| 17:36 |
mzepf |
walterbender: Not yet. |
| 17:36 |
|
walterbender: But I cleaned up the github repo. |
| 17:37 |
|
walterbender: And added a few more samples. |
| 17:38 |
walterbender |
any questions for mzepf ? |
| 17:38 |
|
axitkhurana: next? |
| 17:39 |
axitkhurana |
sure! |
| 17:39 |
|
I tried using Gtk.Fixed as you suggested for overlaying the content over cloud but that didn't work. |
| 17:40 |
walterbender |
:( |
| 17:40 |
axitkhurana |
But I found Gtk.Overlay |
| 17:40 |
|
that worked :) |
| 17:40 |
walterbender |
:) |
| 17:41 |
|
not sure why Fixed wouldn;t work |
| 17:41 |
axitkhurana |
Yeah, I couldn't figure out. But this looks like a good solution. |
| 17:41 |
|
Created a new larger icon to incorporate ~140 chars of text and a small image for the service |
| 17:41 |
walterbender |
will look into it |
| 17:42 |
|
~140 is the right number |
| 17:43 |
|
still wants to rename Tags to #Tags in the Sugar Journal :) |
| 17:43 |
axitkhurana |
Also added the icon to the overlay content |
| 17:43 |
tch__ |
axitkhurana: maybe you can show the latest screenshot? |
| 17:43 |
axitkhurana |
tch__: sure |
| 17:43 |
|
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/F[…]leScreenshot3.jpg |
| 17:43 |
tch__ |
walterbender: we probably need a hand from the design team also |
| 17:44 |
walterbender |
tch__: yes... |
| 17:44 |
axitkhurana |
I've added the screenshot and the new icon svg to the wiki: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/S[…]ial_Sugar_project |
| 17:44 |
walterbender |
axitkhurana: for example, in Sugar, we'd want to reduce the stroke line thickness to 3.5 |
| 17:45 |
|
looks to be about 15 right now |
| 17:45 |
|
that would help with your overlap problem the aS) in (SoaS) |
| 17:45 |
|
but in general, this is looking good |
| 17:46 |
axitkhurana |
walterbender: The svg has the stroke thickness same as the xo icon, but the scaling in the icon cairo surface increases it. I'll look into it. |
| 17:46 |
tch__ |
axitkhurana: it seems you have the basic constructs for visual part |
| 17:47 |
axitkhurana |
tch__: right, some small formatting changes to be done. |
| 17:48 |
tch__ |
axitkhurana: also, get in touch with the design team, I am sure they can solve styling issues |
| 17:49 |
axitkhurana |
tch__: right. |
| 17:49 |
walterbender |
axitkhurana: what is queued up for this week? |
| 17:50 |
axitkhurana |
walterbender: some formatting changes, like the overlapping text and the text color in case of dark backgrounds |
| 17:50 |
|
also, I'll try to get a single webservice running with tch__ 's help :) |
| 17:51 |
walterbender |
axitkhurana: a simple rule of thumb for calculating lightness of your background color is 0.3*R + 0.6*G + 0.1*B |
| 17:52 |
axitkhurana |
walterbender: thanks, that should help! |
| 17:53 |
walterbender |
who'd like to go next? |
| 17:53 |
|
boredomist: ? |
| 17:53 |
boredomist |
I'll chime in |
| 17:53 |
|
heh |
| 17:54 |
|
Well first off, since I wasn't around last week, I just want to make sure everyone saw my update for last week on the sugar-gsoc google group |
| 17:55 |
|
This week was fairly uninteresting, I mostly worked on some maintenance kind of tasks, like cleaning up code, adding tests, and adding documentation |
| 17:56 |
|
I'm working on finishing up the server as much as possible so that I can start working on an activity early next week |
| 17:57 |
|
For new features, I added a limit to the amount of text that can be given to the server at one time, as well as new API endpoints to query that information |
| 17:57 |
walterbender |
boredomist: this is all very timely in light of where we are heading vis a vis i18n |
| 17:57 |
|
big push in that direction |
| 17:58 |
boredomist |
Well I certainly hope this ends up being a good fit there |
| 17:59 |
walterbender |
any questions for boredomist? |
| 18:00 |
|
iamaregee2: want to report? |
| 18:00 |
iamaregee2 |
sure :) |
| 18:01 |
boredomist |
I'd certainly love to hear some feedback or criticism if anyone has it. It's been difficult to coordinate with lionaneesh so far, so any kind of feedback is very welcome :) |
| 18:01 |
iamaregee2 |
this week I have been working on mostly resolving bugs and fixing other issues |
| 18:02 |
walterbender |
boredomist: I'm happy to poke at your server some more |
| 18:03 |
iamaregee2 |
Apart from that I worked on adding new test cases |
| 18:03 |
|
still there are plenty more that needs to be added |
| 18:03 |
walterbender |
test cases are good... |
| 18:04 |
iamaregee2 |
then I added a search back end with elasticsearch server |
| 18:04 |
walterbender |
is pounding his head against the wall with the webservices unit test |
| 18:04 |
iamaregee2 |
but at the end of the day I felt like it was little too over kill for the moment |
| 18:05 |
|
yes , certainly test cases are helping me to spot out the mistakes and logical errors more easily |
| 18:06 |
walterbender |
any questions anyone? |
| 18:06 |
iamaregee2 |
the restful interface is mostly done and provides all the basic functionality that we would require for the site |
| 18:06 |
tch__ |
iamaregee2: please take in consideration the last suggestions I sent! |
| 18:06 |
walterbender |
and the authentication issues sorted out? |
| 18:07 |
iamaregee2 |
tch_ I will , I have been working on it today .. |
| 18:07 |
|
I think I have found a solution to generate the API_keys automatically |
| 18:07 |
|
and include them in the request. |
| 18:08 |
|
walterbender I implemented api_key authentication and it works fine , but the catch is we need to assign the api_key to each user manually and then include it in the url request. |
| 18:09 |
|
I will try to fix it by tonight and push it to github |
| 18:09 |
|
roughly that's pretty much from me for the week |
| 18:10 |
walterbender |
thx for the update |
| 18:11 |
|
callkalpa: ? |
| 18:12 |
callkalpa |
hi, sorry I was late a little bit late today |
| 18:12 |
|
May I proceed with my progress for the week? |
| 18:12 |
tch__ |
callkalpa: go for it :) |
| 18:13 |
callkalpa |
well, the main task I was involved in was to update the current help content to be up to date |
| 18:14 |
|
I have been updating around half of the content so far and I am continuing |
| 18:14 |
|
I have sent the updated content to Gonzalo for review, but he is on vacation this week, he will be back next week |
| 18:15 |
|
once we are done with the review, I will send it to Chris to be included in pootle to be translated |
| 18:15 |
|
meanwhile, the initial work to display the translated content in each activity is done |
| 18:16 |
|
that's all from me for now |
| 18:16 |
walterbender |
sound good |
| 18:17 |
callkalpa |
thanks |
| 18:18 |
walterbender |
whom is left? surajgillespie ? |
| 18:18 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: hi |
| 18:19 |
|
For the past few days, I've been devoting all my attention towards the web-activity which I mentioned last week. |
| 18:19 |
|
You can take a peek at the working here, |
| 18:19 |
|
#link http://surajgillespie.github.io/ |
| 18:20 |
walterbender |
it is really quite nice |
| 18:20 |
surajgillespie |
As you can see, I managed to add few text formatting buttons(bold, emphasis, etc) and some other stuffs such as ol/ul list, code, quote, etc |
| 18:21 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: you may want to look at Word Press for inspiration for some of the icons you are missing, e.g., link |
| 18:21 |
|
and I am sure manuq will help |
| 18:21 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: yup. |
| 18:22 |
|
also, if you try the activity on sugar, it saves the markdown text content in the journal |
| 18:22 |
walterbender |
worked for me :P |
| 18:22 |
surajgillespie |
so got it syncing with the datastore. |
| 18:23 |
decause |
surajgillespie: nice work |
| 18:23 |
surajgillespie |
decause: :) |
| 18:23 |
|
Earlier today, Lionel and walterbender pointed out a few bugs which has to be sorted out. |
| 18:24 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: did manuq's patch help? |
| 18:24 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: you meant the icon? |
| 18:25 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: maybe I misunderstood, but I thought he had a patch for the problem I had with first launch |
| 18:25 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: oh. |
| 18:25 |
|
walterbender: if all goes well, |
| 18:26 |
|
by next week you'll be able to insert image/text into the activity using sugar object chooser. |
| 18:27 |
|
a feature which is missing in the framework as of now |
| 18:27 |
|
. |
| 18:27 |
walterbender |
be nice to do it a la Gonzalo's new patch, with image thumbnails |
| 18:28 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: I'll try to follow up on his work. |
| 18:28 |
|
.i got a bit stuck on the preview field stuff |
| 18:28 |
|
I'll try to wrap it up in a couple of days |
| 18:28 |
|
. |
| 18:28 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: don't block on that |
| 18:29 |
surajgillespie |
walterbender: ok. :) |
| 18:29 |
|
and yeah, I'm done. |
| 18:29 |
walterbender |
OK |
| 18:29 |
surajgillespie |
thanks. |
| 18:29 |
walterbender |
I think unless I miscounted, that is everyone? |
| 18:30 |
|
don't forget to work on your evaluations next week |
| 18:30 |
Fortnight |
walterbender: decause wanted me to chime in about open badges progress |
| 18:30 |
walterbender |
I was just about to ask |
| 18:30 |
Fortnight |
I've been working with Brush and DAWacker |
| 18:30 |
|
and Thengrad |
| 18:30 |
|
This week we have badges loading into an activity called sash |
| 18:31 |
|
DAWacker managed to get LemonadeStand and Skytime both importing badges, and awarding them based on the info from the metadata in the datastore |
| 18:31 |
walterbender |
speaking of badges, Fortnight, have you seen https://diy.org/explore |
| 18:31 |
|
a really nice badge system |
| 18:32 |
Fortnight |
the badges can be organized by time and name so far I believe |
| 18:32 |
|
I don't think I've seen that |
| 18:32 |
|
ah, looks good, I'll check into that |
| 18:32 |
walterbender |
decause: when do the students head to DC? |
| 18:33 |
decause |
jenn got back wednesday |
| 18:33 |
|
23rd was the big day |
| 18:34 |
walterbender |
everything go OK? |
| 18:34 |
decause |
she spoke with jess klein, mozilla open badges design lead |
| 18:34 |
|
shes interested in hearing more |
| 18:35 |
walterbender |
maybe she can join us next week and report in? |
| 18:35 |
