| 11:00 | Quozl | G'day. |
| 11:00 | #topic what we have been working on | |
| 11:01 | Pro-Panda | I have been porting some activities to Python 3, and working on the Sugar Artwork Debian Packaging |
| 11:01 | Quozl | I've continued to work on the Record activity; most recently to show all recorded media in the tray, add a test without camera feature, and tune another race condition with GStreamer autovideosink startup. |
| 11:02 | Pro-Panda | couldn't test record due to lack of camera |
| 11:02 | walterbender | hi |
| 11:03 | Quozl | Pro-Panda: that reminds me; if you'd like to do any work for Debian project, I'm sure Jonas and his crew would be interested in giving you a hand. |
| 11:03 | walterbender | I did more work on the pie menus for Music Blocks |
| 11:03 | and I finally found the repos for Amazonas and Mexico turtle and uploaded the repos to SL on github | |
| 11:04 | Pro-Panda | Quozl: Sure, thanks |
| 11:04 | Quozl | Anyone else here apart from Walter and Rahul? |
| 11:05 | Pro-Panda: you can now test Record from shell prompt with "RECORD_TEST=true sugar-activity". ;-) | |
| 11:05 | ... and take photographs of a test pattern, chuckle. | |
| 11:06 | Pro-Panda | Quozl: Hehe, sure |
| 11:07 | Quozl | #topic release planning, version numbering |
| 11:07 | walterbender | Quozl, should we grab the core recording code inside the Record activity and use it for the camera plugin in Turtle? |
| 11:07 | presumably it is more robust | |
| 11:08 | Quozl | my plan for the moment is to release 0.114 on or around 6th october, with a 0.113 about a month before. it may be our first python 3 release. there are not many other significant changes to sugar other than api changes. |
| 11:09 | walterbender | does that mesh with Fedora and/or Debian/Ubuntu releases? |
| 11:09 | Quozl | walterbender: have a look, see if it works, i guess. i did try out the ported gstreamer code but it wasn't very reliable, which is why i went mostly for reimplementing it. but it does set aside xo-1, xo-1.5, xo-1.75 and xo-4 compatibility. |
| 11:10 | walterbender: no, not at all; as we don't have any developers from those release teams doing anything much lately on sugar, i don't think we need to worry about meshing with their schedules. | |
| 11:11 | in an article on lwn.net today, the thoughts on python 2 deprecation by distributions suggest we have another year at least. |
