IRC Team Meeting - September 16, 2009

Sep 16 06:03 <chen> Hard code freeze has started and 2.28 release is coming next week,

Sep 16 06:03 <chen> one of the items still pending is the documentation,

Sep 16 06:04 <chen> thanks to lakhil for making some documentation changes w.r.t new features and screen-shots,

Sep 16 06:04 <andre> was there proofreading?

Sep 16 06:05 <chen> i have done part of it and we will be sending it to radhika and u for the same..

Sep 16 06:05 <chen> andre, will be able to review it ?

Sep 16 06:05 <andre> don't expect me to have time two days before a release. and there are also translators out there

Sep 16 06:05 <andre> probably impossible to get the changes translated for 2.28.0

Sep 16 06:05 <chen> nirav is currently handling the part of incorporating the changes to the existing docs..

Sep 16 06:06 <chen> yes :(

Sep 16 06:06 <andre> but it's the same every 6 months that novell is uncapable to get the user docs right

Sep 16 06:06 <chen> there have been some bit of confusions in how to handle the docs due to lack of resources and finding the right person in here..

Sep 16 06:06 <andre> so i get used to it and draw my own conclusions about that company.

Sep 16 06:07 *chen was in the assumption that a person from suse is working on it and later got the information that its happening that way

Sep 16 06:07 <andre> oh well, it's novell :-P

Sep 16 06:08 <andre> not caring about gnome workflows has a long tradition since 2.1

Sep 16 06:08 <chen> andre, i have no real answers to defend :(

Sep 16 06:08 <andre> i know. and i don't want to imply that it's your fault

Sep 16 06:08 <chen> but we will take care of it for next release..

Sep 16 06:08 <chen> one thing which is clear is,

Sep 16 06:08 <andre> i know, i have that sentence in the logs several times ;-))

Sep 16 06:08 <chen> there will be no person in novell who might be working on docs afaik

Sep 16 06:09 <chen> unless radhika gets time or if we find a new person

Sep 16 06:09 <andre> so novell should get some balls and contact the gnome-doc team

Sep 16 06:09 <andre> and tell that they should take over.

Sep 16 06:09 <chen> right

Sep 16 06:10 <andre> but as novell is sometimes afraid of "losing control on $something" (e.g. user docs) this might take a while...

Sep 16 06:10 <chen> so i will inform the gnome-doc team about the same for the next release..

Sep 16 06:10 <chen> i can prolly inform immediately after 2.28 release

Sep 16 06:11 <chen> andre, i guess its not about losing control,

Sep 16 06:11 <chen> but a confusion created when the resource changes happen

Sep 16 06:11 <andre> it's probably a mixture of reasons, true

Sep 16 06:11 <andre> anyway, let's move on :)

Sep 16 06:11 <chen> sure :)

Sep 16 06:12 <chen> w.r.t dbus calendar port,

Sep 16 06:12 <chen> ross had been lot busy with other works and he informed that he would be merging the code by monday/tuesday next week..

Sep 16 06:13 <chen> updates from on my end,

Sep 16 06:13 <chen> have been reviewing some patches and working on imapx branch,

Sep 16 06:13 *jony (~jjohnny@ecoprobe-dmz.gns.novell.com) has joined #evolution-meet

Sep 16 06:13 <chen> getting it into a compilable state with incorporating summary changes from db-summary branch

Sep 16 06:13 <chen> will be committing the compilable code tomorrow..

Sep 16 06:14 <chen> anything else which needs to be discussed before we move around the room ?

Sep 16 06:15 <chen> lets move on then,

Sep 16 06:15 <abharath> chen: nope nothing this week

Sep 16 06:17 <jony> chen: just pokiing around go-evo wiki

Sep 16 06:18 <chen> jony, fine

Sep 16 06:19 <chen> lakhil, thanks for pitching in at the right time for docs though it was not on ur bucket and unplanned..

Sep 16 06:19 <jony> chen: http://www.gnome.org/~jjohnny/files/go-evo.tar.bz2 . just the initial snapshot

Sep 16 06:19 <lakhil> sure .. no probs

Sep 16 06:19 <chen> lakhil, anything else apart from that?

Sep 16 06:19 <lakhil> i hope things will go fine though not perfect

Sep 16 06:19 <lakhil> chen, bug triaging ..nothing much

Sep 16 06:20 <chen> lakhil, understand

Sep 16 06:20 <chen> mcrha, any updates ?

Sep 16 06:20 <mcrha> nothing to be mentioned, as I was two days off. Though I think I produced some patches/fixes last week.

Sep 16 06:20 <lakhil> mcrha, Action Item : send us holiday pics :P

Sep 16 06:20 <chen> mcrha, i had added an environment variable for skipping the maildir perf fix..

Sep 16 06:21 <mcrha> lakhil, hehe, it was a demolition & construction weekend and following days, far a way from vacation :)

Sep 16 06:21 <chen> to not break the old code..

Sep 16 06:21 <chen> seb128, anything to share?

Sep 16 06:21 <seb128> not really

Sep 16 06:21 <mcrha> chen, "the old code" was there for ~2 weeks, up to a month, not longer. It wasn't there before

Sep 16 06:22 <mcrha> hi seb128, how with your highlights on 2.28 bugs?

Sep 16 06:22 <chen> mcrha, just looking at lakhil /srini's comments did not want to take a risk..

Sep 16 06:22 <seb128> mcrha, I didn't spot anything liking like a real blocker

Sep 16 06:22 <mcrha> chen, sure, that's fine

Sep 16 06:23 <seb128> mcrha, the usually amount or random crashes without steps to trigger those or old bugs

Sep 16 06:23 <mcrha> seb128, any unreal blockers?

Sep 16 06:23 <seb128> ie nothing worth a freeze break now

Sep 16 06:23 <seb128> not that I could see no

Sep 16 06:23 <mcrha> oh, "fine" I guess

Sep 16 06:23 <chen> sounds good

Sep 16 06:23 <seb128> I will try to build a "would be nice to fix for 2.28.1" list later

Sep 16 06:23 <chen> that would be great

Sep 16 06:24 <mcrha> I was told that "today" "2 days ago" and such in a message list can be a day off

Sep 16 06:24 <chen> anything else which needs to be discussed?

Sep 16 06:24 <chen> mcrha, have fixed that

Sep 16 06:25 <mcrha> chen, ah, did you? good

Sep 16 06:25 <chen> mcrha, will let u know the bug id after the meeting..

Sep 16 06:25 <mcrha> thanks, I'm interested what I did incorrectly

Sep 16 06:25 <chen> sure will let u know :)

Sep 16 06:26 <chen> Lets meet next week then after 2.28 release!! and discuss the items for 2.30 and 2.28.1 releases
