Hi,
notes from the IRC meeting last week; sorry about not posting those
before, but I have been on vacation and then busy catching up.
The agenda was as follows:
* Hildon packaging update (Tollef Fog Heen/Adilson Oliveira)
* Flash image creation (Rusty Lynch)
* Kernel and hardware support (Ben Collins)
- MID Wireless Device Support & Kernel Patches for Thermal
optimizations
* UI, utilities (Bob Spencer)
* Graphics (Charlie Johnson)
* Build infrastructure (Tollef Fog Heen)
* GNOME components (Bob Spencer)
* Documentation
* Ownerless specs:
- UI guide
- Browser
- Media player UI
- Hardware media decoding
- USB client
- Development environment
* Goals for the next week
= Hildon packaging update =
Adilson gave an update on the packaging. We are now at a point where
a first cut of the packages are in gutsy and you can get a hildon
desktop up and running only using packages in the archive. This
should make anyone wanting to build applications on top of Hildon able
to do so. There is a bug in hildon-desktop which makes it crash if
you click the application menu, but we are working on fixing that.
Adilson believed the custom file picker patch for GTK+ had gone absent
and will check up on that.
ACTION: Adilson to check if the GTK+ patch is still present.
= Flash image creation =
The spec is lagging behind the implementation, but the implementation
is quite complete already. It needs some tweaks to be able to
generate a first generation bootable image, but the Samsung Q1 Ultra
device itself is a challenge due to some hardware without drivers.
= Kernel and hardware support =
There are two bits to this: the necessary kernel patches and the
configuration. Jacob and Amit are working together on bringing the
patches into the Ubuntu kernel repository, but there are some
minor changes that are still needed.
ACTION: Jacob to clean up patches and work with Amit on getting them
into the kernel repository.
= UI & Utilities =
The specs here are lagging quite badly, but progress on the
implementation during the DAM was good. Some docs are written, but
not yet put anywhere public, but Bob is going to do that, hopefully by
Monday evening.
ACTION: Bob to put his note and API / UML somewhere for others to
see.
= Graphics =
Postponed, since Charlie had to leave the meeting at the top of the
hour. Will be followed up by email.
= Build infrastructure =
No progress; Tollef has been on vacation.
= GNOME components =
The spec here is currently empty. The plan is to fill it with what
parts of GNOME Mobile we want to use. Depending on whether we want
UME to be a product or a platform, two approaches are possible:
- If we are building a product, just use exactly what our applications
need.
- If we are building a platform, include GMAE and any extras we need
for our platform.
Consensus on going for the platform approach was reached.
= Documentation =
Ian Lawrence has taken on the effort of trying to make heads and tails
of Hildon from a documentation perspective. There was some discussion
as to what documentation system to use. He has set up some
preliminary bits on http://proddingthe.net/ which he requests feedback
on. He'll also write up a spec about how documentation should be
done.
ACTION: Ian Lawrence to create specification about documentation.
= Ownerless specifications =
We had a few ownerless specifications who got new owners:
Bob picked up UI guide, Browser, Media player UI, Charlie Johnson got
Hardware media decoding and USB client while Tollef Fog Heen picked up
Development environment
= Goals for next week =
The goal is to have all specifications pushed through to approved by
the next meeting. Rusty also wants to have the necessary init scripts
in place so it's possible to boot straight into a maemo environment.
Next meeting is Friday at 1600 UTC to accomodate for Rusty travelling
on Thursday.
