IRC Team Meeting - February 16, 2010

Feb 16 16:30 <chen> Lets get started..

Feb 16 16:30 <chen> punit is travelling out-of-station and so he will not be available for today's meeting.

Feb 16 16:30 *Macfiron (~silvan@port-217-146-132-69.static.qsc.de) has joined #evolution-meet

Feb 16 16:30 <chen> matt will also not be available today..

Feb 16 16:30 <chen> To start with project updates,

Feb 16 16:31 <chen> we have the evolution 2.91.90 release coming up this Monday Feb 21

Feb 16 16:31 *seanius (~seanius@cobija.connexer.com) has joined #evolution-meet

Feb 16 16:31 <chen> UI announcement period starts from Feb 21

Feb 16 16:31 <xtian> hi chen

Feb 16 16:31 *EvaSDK (~eva@nsg93-9-78-225-4-220.fbx.proxad.net) has joined #evolution-meet

Feb 16 16:32 <chen> so we need get the patches in before the same to avoid sending mails for the changes :)

Feb 16 16:32 <chen> almost all GNOME blockers have been kicked off by mcrha

Feb 16 16:32 <chen> mcrha, i hope ur on the last two as well ?

Feb 16 16:32 <chen> bugs 633297 (Don't use a status icon in evolution-alarm-notify), 633298 (dont use status icon in calendar publishing plugin)

Feb 16 16:33 <mcrha> hi, nope for both statements, I believe

Feb 16 16:33 <chen> mcrha, do you want someone else to look at it ?

Feb 16 16:33 <mcrha> oh, that kind of blocker, I see

Feb 16 16:33 <chen> mcrha, :)

Feb 16 16:34 <mcrha> well, it's undoable at the moment, unless loosing functionality

Feb 16 16:34 <chen> btw we also have API/ABI/FEATURE freezes already in place

Feb 16 16:34 <andre_> "UI announcement period starts from Feb 21"? I'd call it freeze actually...

Feb 16 16:35 <chen> andre_, agree with some room :)

Feb 16 16:35 <chen> mcrha, would what mclasen's solution be good enough without any loss in feature

Feb 16 16:35 <chen> ?

Feb 16 16:36 <mcrha> I do not track those two bugs so closely, so I do not know. let's see after the meeting

Feb 16 16:36 <chen> sure

Feb 16 16:36 <chen> mcrha, mcrha, as you pointed already during the last meeting adding an external package (evolution-groupware) will not be possible,

Feb 16 16:37 <chen> but vibs has created a skeleton with basic changes in place so that we

Feb 16 16:37 <chen> can get the groupwise code out of evolution/eds and package the other providers past 3.0

Feb 16 16:37 <chen> release..

Feb 16 16:38 <chen> just noticed some blogs from vibs as well http://yvibha.wordpress.com/, nice :)

Feb 16 16:38 <mcrha> what everything will be in the package finally?

Feb 16 16:38 <chen> ews, evolution-exchange, mapi..

Feb 16 16:38 <chen> , groupwise

Feb 16 16:38 <mcrha> ok, except of gw all could be part of eex too ;)

Feb 16 16:39 <chen> optionally compiling mapi

Feb 16 16:39 <abharath> mcrha: ;)

Feb 16 16:39 <mcrha> optionally compiling each, I suppose

Feb 16 16:39 <chen> mcrha, should we need each unless,

Feb 16 16:39 <chen> they require more external dependencies ?

Feb 16 16:39 <chen> mcrha, prolly we could make mapi and evo-ex

Feb 16 16:40 <chen> as both dev's are getting stalled atm..

Feb 16 16:40 <chen> mcrha, maybe we would just discuss it around 3.0, once we get the package and,

Feb 16 16:40 <mcrha> you said that we will have either one groupware package or multiple packages. And I believe having disableable each is the right thing

Feb 16 16:40 <chen> fixes should be just minor

Feb 16 16:40 <mcrha> sure

Feb 16 16:41 <chen> anything that we need to discuss before proceeding with individual updates?

Feb 16 16:41 <mcrha> yes

Feb 16 16:41 <chen> mcrha, go on

Feb 16 16:42 <mcrha> you know unofficially, but as an official announcement, dvratil, Dan Vrátil, is an intern at Red hat working on UI parts of evo since last week +/-

Feb 16 16:42 <chen> welcome dvratil!!

Feb 16 16:42 <dvratil> hi!

Feb 16 16:43 <mcrha> and that's it ;)

Feb 16 16:43 <chen> and btw I missed to update too,

Feb 16 16:43 <abharath> mcrha: :D

Feb 16 16:43 <chen> there is a team from intel who are now working actively on evolution-ews,

Feb 16 16:46 <chen> and operations are cancellable

Feb 16 16:46 <chen> with many bugs fixes on the same areas..

Feb 16 16:47 <chen> will be getting on with some patch reviews as well.. but trying to find time really..

Feb 16 16:47 <chen> thats it from side..

Feb 16 16:47 <chen> abharath, updates?

Feb 16 16:47 <abharath> chen: pretty much dead till now. Back to EWS starting next week. Nothing major for now

Feb 16 16:48 <chen> abharath, thanks, hope it has taken a bit of a toll for you working on many customer issues with evo-ex..

Feb 16 16:48 <chen> abharath, make sure the patches get upstream later once testing is done..

Feb 16 16:48 <chen> andre_, anything to share?

Feb 16 16:50 <chen> Macfiron, anything to share?

Feb 16 16:50 <chen> mcrha, updates?

Feb 16 16:50 <Macfiron> -

Feb 16 16:50 <hggdh_> chen: no news from my side

Feb 16 16:50 <mcrha> basically on bugs from all around (or some, who knows) evo-related code. And did a review for Dan on his second patch in evo. It's in already.

Feb 16 16:51 <chen> mcrha, thanks!

Feb 16 16:51 <chen> ritz, anything to share?

Feb 16 16:51 <ritz> nothing much :) , trying to setup a ews server here, auto-discovery is broken

Feb 16 16:51 <ritz> on our internal server

Feb 16 16:52 <chen> ritz, there are a lot of changes going on with ews and you might require to clean the cache with patch updates..

Feb 16 16:52 <ritz> hmm, will do.

Feb 16 16:52 <EvaSDK> chen: nope

Feb 16 16:52 <chen> ritz, thanks :)

Feb 16 16:52 <chen> seanius, anything to share?

Feb 16 16:53 <chen> vibs, updates?

Feb 16 16:53 <seanius> oh, hi :)  i'm not exactly part of the team but have been working with a customer for trying to get a large -mapi installation in place

Feb 16 16:53 <vibs> chen: yuppp ... Thanks :) ..n .. Fixed a couple of bugs in master on maildir side ... was onto some internal issues too .... Looked into SSL issue for evolution. and found that from libsoup 2.33.x onwards glib-networking package is required for establishing SSL connections.

Feb 16 16:53 <chen> seanius, ah nice

Feb 16 16:53 <seanius> there's currently one pretty major blocker, i think with help from mcrha the rest of the issues had been addressed

Feb 16 16:54 <chen> seanius, is with exchange 2007 server ?

Feb 16 16:54 <chen> vibs, thanks

Feb 16 16:54 <chen> xtian, anything to share?

Feb 16 16:55 <xtian> chen: still raising backend infrastructure for evolution-kolab

Feb 16 16:55 <seanius> chen: yeah.  i'm guessing mcrha is already familiar with the blocker but for the otehrs it's https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642022

Feb 16 16:55 <chen> xtian, cool

Feb 16 16:55 <vibs> chen: one update too now glib-networking is part of  libsoup dependency set in jhbuild too

Feb 16 16:55 *andre_ got nothing to share, just slacking

Feb 16 16:55 <xtian> online-/offline-stuff should be elaborated far enough so i can start integrating imapx into the backends

Feb 16 16:55 <chen> vibs, fine

Feb 16 16:56 *mcrha has it opened in a firefox, but nothing more than that

Feb 16 16:56 <chen> xtian, i don get you.

Feb 16 16:56 <xtian> chen: i'll get started with running imapx within backend context these days

Feb 16 16:56 <chen> xtian, we have a CamelOffline class which takes care of the same..

Feb 16 16:56 <chen> xtian, and CamelIMAPXStore is derived from the same..

Feb 16 16:57 <xtian> chen: it's about pim data syncing

Feb 16 16:57 <chen> xtian, ah so you got calendar/contacts working ?

Feb 16 16:57 <xtian> chen: the pim data is stored in emails on a kolab server,

Feb 16 16:57 <xtian> chen: not yet with the connection to the imap server, but we're on it

Feb 16 16:57 <chen> xtian, fine

Feb 16 16:58 <chen> Anything else from anyone ?

Feb 16 16:58 <xtian> chen: we need to detect changes in email attachments, so the typical camel infrastructure is not enough

Feb 16 16:59 <chen> xtian, detect the changes just for calendar/contacts isn it ?

Feb 16 16:59 <xtian> chen: yes

Feb 16 16:59 <chen> xtian, ah ok i get it

Feb 16 16:59 <xtian> chen: it's pretty funny, but we're getting closer :)

Feb 16 16:59 <chen> xtian, yeah i can imagine :)

Feb 16 17:00 <chen> xtian, its really an interesting way to use imapx :)

Feb 16 17:00 <xtian> we'll give a ping when things start to rock and roll

Feb 16 17:00 <chen> xtian, sure :)

Feb 16 17:01 <xtian> for suture versions i'd like to subclass imapx without having a local copy of the code. we talked about that. i'll see that i can help with some imapx fixes in that area

Feb 16 17:01 <xtian> s/suture/future/

Feb 16 17:01 <chen> xtian, that would be great, there would be a lot of fixing need there..

Feb 16 17:02 <chen> restructing the code basically..

Feb 16 17:02 <chen> Lets then meet next month which would be just few days before the code freeze..

Feb 16 17:02 <chen> Happy hacking :)

Feb 16 17:02 <xtian> cu there

Feb 16 17:03 <chen> Thanks everyone!
