IRC Team Meeting - December 5, 2007

Dec 05 05:04 <chen> Lets get started..

Dec 05 05:05 <chen> We had the release of evolution-2.21.3 this week

Dec 05 05:05 <chen> and srag had updated on our 2.22 progress

Dec 05 05:06 <chen> We have the API/ABI freeze coming up at the beginning of next month (Jan 7)

Dec 05 05:07 <chen> i request everyone to commit the changes which require changes w.r.t API/ABI by this month to be comfortable

Dec 05 05:08 <chen> We also have the UI and string announcement periods coming this month December 17th

Dec 05 05:08 <chen> Updates from my end,

Dec 05 05:09 <chen> Have been reviewing patches and am working on some bug fixes. Planning to implement viewing additional time zones in calendar view this week

Dec 05 05:10 <chen> abharath: any updates ?

Dec 05 05:10 *EvaSDK (eva@APuteaux-755-1-2-73.w90-35.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #evolution-meet

Dec 05 05:10 <mcrha> chen, what "viewing additional time zones" means?

Dec 05 05:11 <abharath> chen: working on PST importing. For smart cards, waiting for Nirav to give me a green signal to continue.

Dec 05 05:11 <abharath> chen: meanwhile interacting with the server admins for the setup

Dec 05 05:12 <chen> mcrha: we have the timings for the local timezone which starts from 12:00 Am - 11:59 PM in the vertical pane in Day view

Dec 05 05:13 <chen> mcrha: this will add another vetical pane where we would display the corresponding timings for another timezone selected

Dec 05 05:13 <mcrha> ahh, ok

Dec 05 05:14 <chen> mcrha: we would be listing the fav. timezones from the clock applet there along with others

Dec 05 05:14 <chen> abharath: thanks

Dec 05 05:14 <jony> chen: just wondering .. will this be somekinda plugin or part of main code ..

Dec 05 05:14 <chen> ashish: any updates?

Dec 05 05:15 <ashish> hi chen, not much update from my side....i'm working on one of send options issue...

Dec 05 05:15 <psankar_afk> mcrha, chen - something like http://brokenclay.org/images/calendar-big.png

Dec 05 05:15 <psankar_afk> ?

Dec 05 05:15 *psankar_afk is now known as psankar

Dec 05 05:15 <chen> psankar: ur right

Dec 05 05:15 <mcrha> chen, also, what will be the maximum number of displayed time zones? because not much place to show many timezones there

Dec 05 05:15 <psankar> okies

Dec 05 05:15 <chen> mcrha: only one additional timezone

Dec 05 05:16 <mcrha> ahh, ok then

Dec 05 05:17 <chen> jony: am thinking of writing it in the main code

Dec 05 05:17 <chen> EvaSDK: any updates ?

Dec 05 05:17 <jony> chen: oki .. just wanted to know :)

Dec 05 05:18 <chen> jony: ?

Dec 05 05:18 *srag (~sragavan@123.236.219.179) has joined #evolution-meet

Dec 05 05:18 <srag> Sorry to join late

Dec 05 05:18 <srag> Just back from the hospital

Dec 05 05:19 <psankar> Hi srag . Chen was jsut conducting the meeting

Dec 05 05:19 <EvaSDK> nope not this week

Dec 05 05:19 <srag> sure chen, go ahead :)

Dec 05 05:19 <chen> hi srag

Dec 05 05:19 <chen> srag can take over :)

Dec 05 05:19 *srag may not have the context, so please take over :)

Dec 05 05:19 <chen> cool

Dec 05 05:19 <psankar> chen, it is okay... u carry it forward

Dec 05 05:19 <chen> kandepu: any updates ?

Dec 05 05:19 <jony> chen: mapi work and a search + exchange patch rework :)

Dec 05 05:20 <kandepu> chen: nothing from my side

Dec 05 05:20 <chen> jony: any plans for merging it with HEAD for 2.22 ?

Dec 05 05:21 <jony> chen: not sure abt that ... srag can give a better answer  ..

Dec 05 05:21 <srag> chen, only if the licensing issues are cleared

Dec 05 05:21 <jony> yep

Dec 05 05:21 <srag> Im confident about the stability, feature complete by feb end

Dec 05 05:21 <srag> but, not so much progress on the licensing front

Dec 05 05:21 <chen> we need to get the API's in before jan 7

Dec 05 05:21 <srag> chen, It wont break/add any apis directly

Dec 05 05:22 <srag> libexchangemapi wont be a API interface either

Dec 05 05:22 <srag> just that this would be a feature, since feature freeze starts

Dec 05 05:22 <chen> yeah

Dec 05 05:22 <jony> wenz the feature freeze .. feb ?

Dec 05 05:22 <chen> i was about ask that since feature freeze comes in Jan 14

Dec 05 05:23 <srag> chen, so Im playing low for this for 2.22, but confident that packagers can still add it as a add-on rpm

Dec 05 05:24 <chen> fine, prolly we can make it available in some repository for people to download and try it if it does not make it in for 2.22, is that right ?

Dec 05 05:24 <srag> yep

Dec 05 05:24 <chen> mcrha: any updates ?

Dec 05 05:24 <chen> cool

Dec 05 05:24 <mcrha> sure, but lakhil will say something too?

Dec 05 05:25 <lakhil> mcrha,  nothing for this week :)

Dec 05 05:25 <lakhil> mcrha, you can go ahead

Dec 05 05:25 <chen> lakhil: sorry for missing you

Dec 05 05:25 <mcrha> we have configure plugin in tabs in trunk, so if you maintain any plugin (jony) and you want to have it's configuration there, so go ahead

Dec 05 05:25 <lakhil> chen, np :)

Dec 05 05:25 <jony> mcrha: cool

Dec 05 05:25 <psankar> mcrha, jony : already dobe

Dec 05 05:25 <psankar> *done

Dec 05 05:26 <mcrha> not sure if to open new bug for that or not - to track all plugins config thing there

Dec 05 05:26 <srag> awesome

Dec 05 05:26 <jony> psankar: nice ! :)

Dec 05 05:26 <chen> cool!

Dec 05 05:26 <srag> it would be nice, if one can spend some preference pane and redesign with this in mind

Dec 05 05:26 <srag> any volunteers for this will be nice

Dec 05 05:26 <chen> psankar: is the code in ?

Dec 05 05:26 <mcrha> otherwise srag put me some tasks to do, a few features

Dec 05 05:26 <psankar> srag, mcrha I wanted to suggest if we can have a bugzilla component for EPlugin ?

Dec 05 05:26 <psankar> chen, yup. I committed it today morning

Dec 05 05:27 <chen> psankar: great!

Dec 05 05:27 <srag> psankar, It is a keyword/status-whiteboard now

Dec 05 05:27 <jony> mcrha : u r working on that new mail notify ui movement .. rite ?

Dec 05 05:27 <mcrha> so I have a list of things to do, one by one. Some involves preferences too

Dec 05 05:27 <psankar> srag, "Automatic Contacts" is being shaken now

Dec 05 05:27 <srag> psankar, you have a need for it? We can discuss it.

Dec 05 05:27 <mcrha> jony, yes, too

Dec 05 05:27 <srag> psankar, cool

Dec 05 05:27 <psankar> srag, I guess it makes querying and tracking a little easier

Dec 05 05:28 <srag> psankar, we can discuss that later

Dec 05 05:28 <jony> mcrha: i added a bug # in comments .. that has to be included when the ui work happens :)

Dec 05 05:28 <psankar> though I must admit that I have not used the status keyword much though

Dec 05 05:28 <mcrha> jony, yead, I noticed

Dec 05 05:28 <chen> psankar: we may to need to categorize of how much of it will belong to just plugins

Dec 05 05:28 <jony> mcrha: nice :)

Dec 05 05:28 <chen> since there might be some work  needed which may be component specific

Dec 05 05:29 <mcrha> jony, my chain of todo is longer and longer :)

Dec 05 05:29 <jony> mcrha: ah . i can c that ;-)

Dec 05 05:29 <psankar> chen, yeah.... we should add eplugin keywords to all possible bugs then

Dec 05 05:29 <psankar> *keyword

Dec 05 05:29 *varadhan is now known as varadhan|bbl

Dec 05 05:29 <srag> psankar, lets take this offline

Dec 05 05:30 <chen> ok

Dec 05 05:30 <psankar> okies

Dec 05 05:30 <mcrha> and last thing from my side, srag put me to labels for mails thing, so if everything will go smooth, then it will be done in 2 weeks. Not sure if I can do it or not, so we will see

Dec 05 05:30 <psankar> mcrha, from waht I could remember it should be sufficient

Dec 05 05:30 *mcrha will ask around for help :)

Dec 05 05:31 <chen> psankar: any updates ?

Dec 05 05:31 <mcrha> ...when get lost

Dec 05 05:31 <psankar> chen, Been reading a little about Gnome lock-down. will have to discuss with Federico before I begin with UAM. Ear pain is keeping me afk.

Dec 05 05:31 <srag> psankar, I don't see a dependency there

Dec 05 05:31 <psankar> mcrha, i had(ve) some bad memories with that code .. I hope it will do some good for you atleast

Dec 05 05:32 <chen> psankar: thanks

Dec 05 05:32 <mcrha> psankar, you mean to just look on those patches but do it myself?

Dec 05 05:32 <chen> schooms: any updates ?

Dec 05 05:32 <schooms> chen: yes.. been working on fetching message body in MAPI.. thats done/committed... just finished a couple more utility functions in servers/mapi .. will be cleaning up some more APIs this week :)

Dec 05 05:32 <psankar> srag, no dependancy there. just wanted to know if we should move accoutns thing out of gconf for lockign, if so our UAM will become obsolete then

Dec 05 05:32 <psankar> srag, just that I dont understand the locking part...

Dec 05 05:33 <chen> schooms: gr8!

Dec 05 05:33 <srag> psankar, I'll explain lockdown to you tomorrow at office :)
