Dec 22 10:26 <chen> Lets get started

Dec 22 10:27 <chen> Advanced chirstmas wishes (merry christmas :) ) to all :)

Dec 22 10:28 <vibs> +1

Dec 22 10:28 <abharath> lol lazy vibs :D

Dec 22 10:28 <chen> there are a lot of banners and posters already which i could see in our office :)

Dec 22 10:28 <vibs> abharath: :)

Dec 22 10:29 <chen> i hope there would a bigger celebration in the west!

Dec 22 10:29 <chen> to start with project updates,

Dec 22 10:29 <chen> we have had couple of releases 2.91.3 and 2.91.4

Dec 22 10:30 <chen> and we have evolution now compiling against gtk3 in the gtk3 branch

Dec 22 10:30 <chen> nice work by mbarnes and vibs. thanks to mbarnes for vibs as well :)

Dec 22 10:31 <chen> we are having a good progress on Ews and you could watch http://git.infradead.org/evolution-ews.git/shortlog for the progress

Dec 22 10:31 <chen> we are not ready with a demo as promised, but very near there for a read-only show-case during early january

Dec 22 10:31 <dwmw2_gone> cool

Dec 22 10:32 <vibs> Thanks a lot chen mbarnes mcrha and abharath for the guidedance

Dec 22 10:32 <chen> the basic infrastructure code remains,

Dec 22 10:32 <chen> dwmw2_gone, we have not yet covered the authentication part that you had mentioned during the last meet

Dec 22 10:32 <dwmw2_gone> yeah, that's really a libsoup issue anyway I think

Dec 22 10:33 <abharath> and with latest libsoup even authentication is broken :)

Dec 22 10:33 <chen> dwmw2_gone, yeah and there are some changes happening in libsoup as well

Dec 22 10:33 <chen> abharath, yeah as you pointed..

Dec 22 10:34 <abharath> http://git.gnome.org/browse/libsoup/commit/?id=97bacf3057b7c45c29a6d025c67a6dd588144e05

Dec 22 10:34 <chen> mbarnes, anything to discuss before we proceed to individual updates?

Dec 22 10:34 <abharath> removing the built in support, breaks our 2003 connector as well

Dec 22 10:34 <chen> or from anyone?

Dec 22 10:34 *abharath shuts up

Dec 22 10:35 <chen> vibs, np :)

Dec 22 10:35 <mbarnes> chen: are you okay with waiting until we see an official GTK+ 3.0 release before merging the gtk3 branches?

Dec 22 10:35 <chen> abharath, would be nice if you could send a mail across to danw or mention it in the bug

Dec 22 10:35 <abharath> chen: yes I would :)

Dec 22 10:35 <chen> mbarnes, yes

Dec 22 10:36 <mbarnes> okay cool, that's all I had  :)

Dec 22 10:36 <abharath> mbarnes: wouldn't that be too late? to fix issues later

Dec 22 10:36 <chen> mbarnes, anyways you are already maintaining it in parity with master :)

Dec 22 10:36 <chen> but the concerning part would be the bugs that exist

Dec 22 10:36 <abharath> make it difficult for people to use, and only then they'll fix it :) works for me that way :D

Dec 22 10:36 <chen> heard from akhil that there are a lot of crashers

Dec 22 10:37 <chen> abharath, we would anyway need to do it at some point if gnome 3 is going with it..

Dec 22 10:38 <abharath> chen: sure :) the last time vibs showed me a demo of it, looked like some other mail client :)

Dec 22 10:38 <chen> abharath, better early though it might be a short term pain ? :)

Dec 22 10:39 <vibs> chen: yeah there are lots of issues, I'll be focussing on that

Dec 22 10:40 <chen> abharath, prolly once vibs fixes some crashers, we can start using it

Dec 22 10:40 <chen> and check it out

Dec 22 10:41 <chen> anything else before we move on with individual updates?

Dec 22 10:41 <abharath> vibs: sure. Take the priority from lakhil. He is probably the best person to get you the priority

Dec 22 10:41 <chen> yup

Dec 22 10:41 <vibs> abharath: sure

Dec 22 10:41 <chen> abharath, updates?

Dec 22 10:42 <abharath> chen: mostly on EWS. Just the connection part of it. I'll update the README and wiki

Dec 22 10:45 <dwmw2_gone> chen: nah, done nothing recently

Dec 22 10:45 <chen> dave_largo, we could speak here on community aspects,

Dec 22 10:45 <dwmw2_gone> all MeeGo stuff

Dec 22 10:45 <chen> but for issues on bnc, NTS is the best channel

Dec 22 10:45 <abharath> yeah Meego everywhere on foss.in :)

Dec 22 10:45 <dave_largo> chen: right, but let's have a groupwise meeting sometime after next week, so I can go over my ideas
