Apr 02 06:04 <srag> Hello every one

Apr 02 06:04 <srag> So, this is our first meeting in the 2.24 series

Apr 02 06:04 <srag> Just few points...

Apr 02 06:05 <srag> Monday we have our stable release in 2.22 series... just make sure that you have committed all your patches there

Apr 02 06:05 *gicmo (~gicmo@91-65-151-236-dynip.superkabel.de) has joined #evolution-meet

Apr 02 06:05 <gicmo> hey

Apr 02 06:05 <srag> and be cautious about the freezes

Apr 02 06:05 <srag> hey gicmo

Apr 02 06:05 <srag> Novell guys, our SLE patches MUST go here, unless it breaks freezes

Apr 02 06:06 <srag> Otherwise I assume that we are busy writing new stuffs/redesigns for 2.24 series :)

Apr 02 06:06 <srag> Nothing great otherwise from my side.. we can go around the channel

Apr 02 06:06 <srag> abharath, anything to share with us ?

Apr 02 06:07 <abharath> srag: working on some bugs. will start with PST after a couple of fixes

Apr 02 06:07 <srag> abharath, PST import for 2000/2003/2007 is a must for 2.23.1.. can I assume?

Apr 02 06:08 <abharath> yep it is :)

Apr 02 06:08 <srag> I think we can have conditional dependency on libpst and the plugin

Apr 02 06:08 <srag> abharath, cool.

Apr 02 06:08 <abharath> maybe .2 but not later

Apr 02 06:08 <srag> ashish, anything to share with us?

Apr 02 06:08 <srag> abharath, no...... :)

Apr 02 06:08 <ashish> srag, me also working on some bugs...

Apr 02 06:08 <srag> ashish, your custom headers MUST for 2.23.1

Apr 02 06:09 <abharath> srag: okies :)

Apr 02 06:09 <srag> abharath, thx

Apr 02 06:09 <ashish> srag, okies..:)

Apr 02 06:09 <srag> ashish, you can get it committed much before the release.. so that it gets some testing...

Apr 02 06:09 <ashish> srag, ok...sure...

Apr 02 06:09 <srag> I think you will have a break with Matt's UI manager.. since composer plugins needs a rewrite after that

Apr 02 06:09 <srag> so work according with sankar to get that done

Apr 02 06:10 <ashish> srag, ok...

Apr 02 06:10 <srag> hey gicmo... anything to share with us?

Apr 02 06:10 *psankar (~evo@125.16.129.16) has joined #evolution-meet

Apr 02 06:10 <gicmo> srag: a bit point on my ToDo is tasks support for CalDAV

Apr 02 06:10 <srag> gicmo, oh wow.

Apr 02 06:10 <gicmo> srag: but that is deferred for after 2.22.1

Apr 02 06:11 <gicmo> srag: its not much to do actually

Apr 02 06:11 <srag> gicmo, sure.

Apr 02 06:11 <srag> gicmo, were you trying for Google Contacts.. (I remember something on that)

Apr 02 06:11 <gicmo> we should also look into that sqlite based cache thingy for 2.24

Apr 02 06:11 <srag> using GData apis?

Apr 02 06:11 <gicmo> srag: yeah, exactly

Apr 02 06:11 <gicmo> ohh the libgdata-XX.pc files are all broken ;-)

Apr 02 06:11 <gicmo> I have a patch for that

Apr 02 06:12 <srag> gicmo, Chen is so strong on it.. He would take up cache rewrite soon. We are busy with some SLE updates here for a week

Apr 02 06:12 <srag> gicmo, sure... commit it.

Apr 02 06:12 <gicmo> also some of the objects need some additions to make it ready for contacts

Apr 02 06:12 <srag> gicmo, Google Contacts would be awesome. If we have that also... I would like a Google Account setup provider also.

Apr 02 06:12 <jony> +1 ^

Apr 02 06:12 <srag> so that it is a one step thing for all Google services

Apr 02 06:13 <gicmo> srag: sure, if we have UMA that would also rock for Google Accounts then! (-:

Apr 02 06:13 <schooms> that'd be awesome !

Apr 02 06:13 *srag knows that mcrha is hearing ;-)

Apr 02 06:13 <gicmo> srag: there is one, but not good, "write the google contacts backend" Google SoC proposal

Apr 02 06:13 <gicmo> maybe we get some more ones

Apr 02 06:13 <srag> gicmo, I think I saw that

Apr 02 06:13 <gicmo> I think I asked the guys for more details

Apr 02 06:14 <srag> It should be simple, since we already have the calendar thing

Apr 02 06:14 <srag> jony, anything to share with us?

Apr 02 06:14 <jony> srag : hopefully , we should have libmapi 0.7 by this weekend . The original plan for MAPI provider is to get in by 2.23.2 . But it depends on licensing which is not resolved yet :(

Apr 02 06:14 <gicmo> srag: btw, google calendar doesnt woork tooo well for me

Apr 02 06:15 <srag> gicmo, any good bugs/data you have... that should be targetted for 2.22.1 IMO

Apr 02 06:15 <gicmo> k

Apr 02 06:15 <jony> gicmo, http://www.go-evolution.org/Evo2.24

Apr 02 06:15 <jony> :)

Apr 02 06:16 <srag> jony, we should have eveyrthing ready for MAPI intro trunk.

Apr 02 06:16 <srag> Even if it doesn't make, we should have tarballs/RPMS for users/distros to pack it as experimental

Apr 02 06:16 <gicmo> oh, now that people speak of mapi, I guess nobody though of doing another abstraction (like create something like GMAPI) that could work with libmapi and the real MAPI, have somebody (company) that is very interested in having support for real MAPI support

Apr 02 06:17 <jony> srag, yep . i moved our server/mapi code to be compatible with libmapi 0.7

Apr 02 06:17 <srag> jony, ok.

Apr 02 06:17 <srag> gicmo, we are now fighting initial things

Apr 02 06:18 <srag> may be just after few iterations.. it should be pretty simple.

Apr 02 06:18 <gicmo> srag: I am just curious if somebody has though of that, if people agree that that might be cool, I think I could get that work paid

Apr 02 06:19 <jony> gicmo, i think libmapi is not a generic MAPI. afaik it has more exchange specific code .

Apr 02 06:19 <gicmo> jony: but exchange is generic mapi ;-)

Apr 02 06:19 <srag> :)

Apr 02 06:19 <gicmo> jony: outlook only uses MAPI to access exchange

Apr 02 06:20 <gicmo> so I guess most of the stuff should be compatible

Apr 02 06:20 <gicmo> I also looked at libmapi briefly and I think it could work

Apr 02 06:20 <srag> gicmo, not really.. Lotus Notes uses MAPI for its mails/cal/etc

Apr 02 06:20 <gicmo> srag: ugh? I dont think we dont agree here

Apr 02 06:20 <psankar> MAPI is a standard afaik but not sure if it is used by anyone except outlook

Apr 02 06:20 <srag> gicmo, I think I read that somewhere...

Apr 02 06:21 <jony> gicmo, srag : i'll ping Julien (openchange) to get more info on this .

Apr 02 06:21 <srag> when I was looking at Lotes connector for Evolution.

Apr 02 06:21 <psankar> srag, may be it just has a MAPI interface as well

Apr 02 06:21 <psankar> jony, that will be the ebst thing

Apr 02 06:21 <psankar> will solve all confusions

Apr 02 06:21 <gicmo> jony: sounds good

Apr 02 06:22 <srag> I dont think Julien is around

Apr 02 06:22 <gicmo> but a gobjectified nice abstraction layer like GMAPI that abstracts libmapi and the real MAPI thingy would be so cool

Apr 02 06:22 <jony> yep .

Apr 02 06:22 <gicmo> imagine evo under win32 and it could do everything that outlook can do, provider wise

Apr 02 06:22 <srag> gicmo, That is very much possible and would be nice too.

Apr 02 06:23 <srag> That reminds me another thing... Im working with Tor to get out  Evolution 2.22 on Win32

Apr 02 06:23 <srag> I have Evolution 2.21.91 under win32.. just waiting for him to update the tarballs and shell out a setup.exe

Apr 02 06:24 <srag> I want to announce it after that... It is not yet Windozy but IMAP/Pop/etc works well

Apr 02 06:24 <srag> lakhil, anything to share with us?

Apr 02 06:24 <gicmo> gotta run, later

Apr 02 06:24 <lakhil> srag, busy in sled testing ..nothing much

Apr 02 06:24 <srag> bye gicmo

Apr 02 06:24 <jony> bye gicmo

Apr 02 06:24 <srag> mcrha, anything to share with us?

Apr 02 06:25 <mcrha> hi srag, that was a real pleasure your recent comeback as reviewer, so keep that way. Otherwise just filling patches quota and as most of you here know, we started to gather requirements for UAM and maybe some designs how-to. Still in progress, anyway.

Apr 02 06:25 <srag> Thx mcrha :)

Apr 02 06:25 <srag> mcrha, good progess... just close on the first few bits and start implementing

Apr 02 06:25 <srag> I think we would have more questions/thoughts when you touch it

Apr 02 06:26 <srag> We can also make use of GSOC once we have the initial bits

Apr 02 06:26 <mcrha> srag, we should just decide whether with Muelli or not, or partially or something

Apr 02 06:26 <srag> looks like Muelli is interested in it

Apr 02 06:26 <mcrha> sure

Apr 02 06:26 <srag> mcrha, we can use Muelli to get the XML as well as the capplet thing.

Apr 02 06:27 <mcrha> let's see, I'll add him to the CC and send him the previous discussion, so he will know and can tell us his thoughts

Apr 02 06:27 <srag> sure

Apr 02 06:27 <srag> prasad, anything to share with us?
