Jul 01 06:09 <srag> I have sent out a mail few mins back and it should be there in your inbox by now :-)

Jul 01 06:09 <varadhan> (applause applause)

Jul 01 06:09 <chen> I will give the best to take evolution forward along with all our passionate members!

Jul 01 06:10 <srag> and I think, today is a right time to announce this...

Jul 01 06:10 <EvaSDK> srag: so you'll still be around for evo or changing affectation ?

Jul 01 06:10 <srag> Both chen and mbarnes are well known hackers and respected for what they have done over the past so many years..

Jul 01 06:10 <srag> EvaSDK, Nope. Im gonna be in Evo...

Jul 01 06:11 <knirav> Congrats chen and mbarnes

Jul 01 06:11 <varadhan> srag, Thank you for your dedication and hard work for all these years as Maintainer :)

Jul 01 06:11 <nikanth> chen: congrats and all the best

Jul 01 06:11 <srag> I would be still working on Evolution and Anjal.. more like.. Im giving more oppertunity for some of the young/strong guns an oppertunity to run the project..

Jul 01 06:11 <srag> it will surely will help them as well as the project a lot.

Jul 01 06:12 <EvaSDK> alright

Jul 01 06:12 <EvaSDK> well then, thanks a lot for all the time you put into it up to now

Jul 01 06:12 <srag> EvaSDK, varadhan, thanks.. I still have a lot more to do on Evolution, including my current IMAPX stuff :-)

Jul 01 06:12 <chen> varadhan, nikanth, thanks and i think its a bug responsibility and both me and mbarnes will try to contribute more on taking care of evolution and gnome goals as srag and other maintainers have done in the past.

Jul 01 06:13 <EvaSDK> and it's cool to see people that have been there for a while take the lead too :)

Jul 01 06:14 <jony> hi seb128 :)

Jul 01 06:14 <srag> seb128, very late...

Jul 01 06:14 <seb128> mcrha, you should have pinged again for meeting time rather than 6 minutes before ;-)

Jul 01 06:14 <seb128> srag, yeah, I read the "meeting in 6minutes" and forgot about it

Jul 01 06:14 <mcrha> hi seb128, next time ;)

Jul 01 06:14 <seb128> a ping "meeting now" would be better ;-)

Jul 01 06:15 <srag> so the 'mcrha alarm' didn't work well or rather didn't snooze well

Jul 01 06:15 <mbarnes> s'alright... meeting log will be posted shortly

Jul 01 06:15 <varadhan> needs a rewrite, I guess ;-)

Jul 01 06:15 <seb128> mbarnes, thanks

Jul 01 06:15 <seb128> I had nothing special to say anyway

Jul 01 06:15 <srag> seb128, are you at GUADEC ?

Jul 01 06:15 <jony> seb128: http://pastebin.com/d3cdc7ba

Jul 01 06:15 <seb128> who is going to desktop summit?

Jul 01 06:15 <srag> seb128, Im there, lakhil and bharath

Jul 01 06:15 <seb128> srag, yes from friday afternoon to wednesday

Jul 01 06:15 <srag> seb128, meet you there in person :)

Jul 01 06:16 <seb128> yeah

Jul 01 06:16 <srag> seb128, ok. the big news is that, chen and mbarnes would lead the project and releases from now on...

Jul 01 06:16 <seb128> congrats chen and mbarnes for the maintainer status

Jul 01 06:16 <chen> thanks seb128!

Jul 01 06:16 <seb128> srag, you will still be around fixing issues?

Jul 01 06:16 <jony> very much .. srag's anjal uses evo libs :D

Jul 01 06:16 *seb128 read meeting log and see that has been asked already

Jul 01 06:17 <srag> seb128, Im there, very much.

Jul 01 06:17 <seb128> good

Jul 01 06:17 <srag> seb128, just that I want to give the long term contributors a chance to lead the project and it will benefit each other and the project too

Jul 01 06:17 <seb128> any update on the 2.28 schedule and eds-dbus this week btw?

Jul 01 06:17 <seb128> srag, yeah good idea

Jul 01 06:18 <srag> seb128, I have been all busy last few weeks on this big thing.. now mbarnes chen any updates? ;-)

Jul 01 06:18 <chen> seb128, i will be testing the eds-port from next week and wll try to get the.

Jul 01 06:18 <chen> addressbook part first

Jul 01 06:18 <seb128> ok good

Jul 01 06:18 <chen> I don think bringing calendar part also in 2.28 will be possible

Jul 01 06:19 <seb128> why?

Jul 01 06:19 <seb128> ross didn't manage to get work time for that?

Jul 01 06:19 <chen> seb128, i heard that there is still some work to be done

Jul 01 06:20 <srag> chen, iirc, its  a week of dev effort pending, which ross told last week

Jul 01 06:20 <chen> and testing both of them and getting in at right time will be difficult considering,

Jul 01 06:20 <seb128> ross said he would ask his management if he could get a week to work on it though

Jul 01 06:20 <chen> the early statistics i have

Jul 01 06:20 <seb128> ok

Jul 01 06:20 *chen looks for a link in go-evolution.org

Jul 01 06:20 <chen> http://www.go-evolution.org/DBus_Port_of_EDS

Jul 01 06:21 <srag> cool.. this probably will be my last meeting the one who ran it.... Anything else to discuss if not we can see you all(most) in person next week

Jul 01 06:21 <chen> seb128, this was the testing done long back and not sure if we would have improvements on these lines,

Jul 01 06:21 <srag> s/meeting the one/meeting as the one/

Jul 01 06:21 <chen> this has some good statistics for address-book though, calendar looks a bit bad. so it would require some work + testing

Jul 01 06:21 <seb128> ok

Jul 01 06:22 <seb128> if you are fine switching only addressbook

Jul 01 06:22 <seb128> ie having components using bonobo and other dbus

Jul 01 06:22 <chen> seb128, i will get some more data by next week after some testing..

Jul 01 06:23 <seb128> ok

Jul 01 06:23 <srag> Ok guys, see you all later.. bye
