walterbender |
well... shall we begin the weekly updates? |
17:08 |
|
axitkhurana: want to start us off? |
17:09 |
axitkhurana |
Sure :) |
17:09 |
|
This week I wrote a python client for Moksaya's API |
17:09 |
|
https://github.com/axitkhurana/gmoksaya |
17:10 |
|
Using tch__'s grestful library |
17:10 |
|
Also, in the process, made a couple of fixes to grestful |
17:10 |
walterbender |
tch__: any comments? |
17:11 |
tch__ |
axitkhurana: I am planning on testing it :) |
17:11 |
walterbender |
axitkhurana: are you on track for completing your project? |
17:11 |
|
Cerlyn <Cerlyn!~cerlyn173-12-75-9-miami.hfc.comcastbusiness.net> has joined #sugar-meeting |
17:12 |
axitkhurana |
walterbender: I think so, next would be to use this client to integrate it as a service in social cloud. |
17:12 |
|
and document the changes |
17:12 |
|
llaske <llaske!~wircerAVelizy-154-1-105-194.w90-2.abo.wanadoo.fr> has joined #sugar-meeting |

tch__ |
axitkhurana: you should definitely add some videos to the project's documentation, so show how this works |
17:12 |
walterbender |
bonjour Lionel |
17:13 |
llaske |
hi all |
17:13 |
axitkhurana |
tch__: Sure, I'll do that. |
17:14 |
walterbender |
all sounds good. thx axitkhurana |
17:14 |
|
surajgillespie: you wanna report? |
17:14 |
surajgillespie |
yup :) |
17:15 |
|
Finally managed to the get the object chooser bits into sugar web. |
17:15 |
|
Although i was a bit slow on it, it was time well spent. |
17:16 |
|
It served its main purpose, i.e testing the sugar datastore api. |
17:16 |
|
Managed to unearth a few bugs in the current api. |
17:16 |
|
Here is a sample to play with, https://github.com/surajgillespie/Object-Chooser |
17:17 |
|
Also, getting my blog ready about my work over the past month. Will post a link to the group after this meeting. |
17:17 |
walterbender |
surajgillespie: thanks for hanging in there... gettting your code upstreamed can take patience |
17:18 |
surajgillespie |
:) |
17:18 |
|
As for next week, I'll try to get in the preview field bits into sugar web. |
17:19 |
|
http://html2canvas.hertzen.com/ was a suggestion put forth by Manuel, |
17:19 |
|
so we could handle the preview stuff on the JS side rather than python. |
17:19 |
walterbender |
nice |
17:20 |
surajgillespie |
and that's pretty much it from my side |
17:22 |
walterbender |
any comments? |
17:22 |
|
boredomist: wanna go next? |
17:23 |
|
CDeLorme: ? |
17:24 |
CDeLorme |
yes |
17:24 |
|
Early this week I hit an unexpected wall and the network stack is still incomplete. |
17:24 |
|
I was unable to catch incoming channels, which is a required feature since Call channels use the same catch process and are used to wrap GStreamer. |
17:24 |
|
Fortunately I have been in contact with smcv for the past three days working through this. |
17:24 |
|
My assumption that the dbus service is shared was incorrect, it looks for the first registered handler and ignores the others. |
17:25 |
decause |
shoutout walterbender for the help connecting us |
17:25 |
walterbender |
#telepathy to the rescue? |
17:25 |
CDeLorme |
The problem is that fedora and debian have built-in clients with handlers to receive messages. |
17:25 |
|
yes smcv has been on it for three days with me now |
17:25 |
|
It's not working yet, but close. |
17:25 |
|
So my system needs to override the handlers with an observer and claim the channels. I am working on testing this now, [latest test code](http://paste.fedoraproject.org/37632/37848263/). |
17:25 |
|
I plan to put in some cycles this weekend to try and finish solving this puzzle, and I will be putting together a blog post and adding all the details to the documentation. |
17:26 |
walterbender |
CDeLorme: this sort of thing is always tricky |
17:26 |
CDeLorme |
Yeah I also have been slow to test it because it requires running two machines, sending works great. |
17:27 |
|
Given the time remaining for GSOC I may have to choose between documentation of services or finished code, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Since HFOSS classes just started up I may see if there is interest there to carry on the work after GSoC is done. |
17:27 |
|
If that's the case I'd rather supply helpful documentation than a finished but rather incomprehensible final product. |
17:28 |
decause |
CDeLorme: hopefully it doesn't come to one or the other |
17:28 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
CDeLorme, anyway, should be good have something testeable |
17:28 |
walterbender |
even if it is not full featured |
17:29 |
CDeLorme |
I have no doubt that I can finish at least partial functionality |
17:30 |
walterbender |
great |
17:30 |
|
mzepf: your turn? |
17:30 |
mzepf |
walterbender: Yes. |
17:31 |
|
I spent most of the week on the Primitives for the 'while' and 'until' blocks. |
17:31 |
|
It wasn't easy, but they work now, and they're exportable. |
17:32 |
|
I also finished transforming all 'old format' Primitives to the 'new format'. |
17:32 |
|
I.e. everything that worked and was exportable ca. 3 weeks ago works and is exportable again. |
17:33 |
|
Then I started adding new Primitives, e.g., for the 'random', 'int', 'chr', 'stop stack', 'wait', and 'sandwich clamp' blocks. |
17:33 |
|
I'm now done with the first 6 palettes from the left in TA, so there are 4 more palettes missing. |
17:34 |
|
I doubt I'll be able to make *all* blocks exportable by the end of the GSoC, |
17:34 |
|
but I'll try to cover the more important ones, especially the 'show' block. |
17:35 |
walterbender |
mzepf: I plan to demo your project at Turtle Art Day (October 12) in Paraguay :) |
17:35 |
mzepf |
walterbender: Great! |
17:35 |
walterbender |
mzepf: and you should go to Pycon next year and demo it. |
17:36 |
|
(the original idea for the project came up at Pycon last year) |
17:36 |
|
mzepf: maybe we can try to do a small pilot study to see if users can actually use it |
17:37 |
mzepf |
walterbender: That would be great. |
17:37 |
walterbender |
mzepf: I will think about the study design |
17:37 |
mzepf |
walterbender: Oh, that reminds me I still don't have an 'export' button inside Sugar. |
17:38 |
|
I only have one in the GNOME version. |
17:38 |
walterbender |
mzepf: that is easy enough to add... just like the Logo one |
17:38 |
|
I can make you an icon... |
17:38 |
decause |
mzepf: +1 on going to PyCon |
17:38 |
mzepf |
walterbender: That would be very kind. Thanks! |
17:38 |
decause |
walterbender: have you heard anything about the EDU summit (somewhat off topic, sorry) |
17:39 |
walterbender |
decause: EduJam? |
17:39 |
decause |
PyCON EDU Summit (you keynoted last year's) |
17:39 |
|
has the name changed? |
17:39 |
walterbender |
oh... Pycon EDU |
17:39 |
decause |
I'll take that as a no :P |
17:40 |
walterbender |
to be honest, I have been so busy, I have not been paying attention |
17:40 |
|
after Sugar 100 and Turtle Art Day, I will come up for air |
17:40 |
|
where is PyCON next year? |
17:40 |
decause |
walterbender: kk. I'm going to email last year's organizers, and let them know FOSS@RIT is interested in running point if they need us |
17:41 |
|
walterbender: Montreal :) :) :) |
17:41 |
|
much closer to MA/NY |
17:41 |
walterbender |
not so far for me... |
17:41 |
|
I will try to attend |
17:41 |
decause |
hopes to be bringing van-loads of students this time |
17:42 |
walterbender |
back on topic... anyone else have anything to report this week? |
17:42 |
decause |
didn't mean to get the train off the tracks here, I'll talk to you more about it during not meeting with you walterbender |
17:42 |
walterbender |
decause: I'm the one who brought up PyCON :) |
17:43 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: ya, I have some info on badges and the Sash activity |
17:43 |
|
surajgillespie has quit IRC |
17:44 |
walterbender |
well.. thanks all. |
