[Elementary-dev-community] Managing technical debt

Hey guys, Since we're getting closer to release, we'll inevitably end up cutting back on some architectural improvements, use some temporary hackish solutions or just don't merge some invasive fixes because it's too late in the cycle. As you probably know, this is called technical debt and it's OK

Okay, it's been a week. In addition, a Council meeting should have taken place three days ago. This seems to be quite enough time to settle on something and write a reply. To speed up the discussion, I stop pretending that everything is all right and cease any work on elementary till I receive an

[Elementary-dev-community] Summoning designers upon bug reports

Hey guys, as you have probably noticed, Launchpad no longer allows assigning a team of which you are not a member of to bug reports, so we can no longer use the established way of summoning designers upon bug reports. The current convention served two things: first, it generated an extra email to

I may have not made it perfectly clear, but I'm not discussing the decision here. The way the decision was made is what I have a problem with. I appreciate that you consulted Canonical and Yorba, but at the same time you didn't consult your very own developers. A decision that affects developers gr

[Elementary-dev-community] "I'm Quitting": we both overreacted

Yesterday I announced in #elementary-dev and #elementary-web that I'm quitting the project. Rumors spread fast and they're usually more scary than truth is, so I'm writing this to clarify what happened, what caused me to do that and "if I'm really quitting". *What happened* I'm attaching the cont

That's what our HIG suggests. It's good to stumble upon good conventions we already employ :) In fact we're several steps ahead: http://elementaryos.org/docs/human-interface-guidelines/ui-toolkit-elements/windows/dialogs I disagree with doing it the right way but neglecting platform consistency

There requirements are... where did you get them anyway? I bet this is as bull as the recommendation to use GTK2 and Python2 for apps targeting Ubuntu. Don't believe a word at developer.ubuntu.com Anyway, what we should be concerned about is getting our apps into Debian. It would both make our app

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] 3D & WMs in Luna

Well, Nouveau is probably the only thing which STILL works with userspace modesetting, and no wonder nothing works for it. This should be fixed in the driver. I'm sorry, but we can't support such weird cases in the main release of Luna. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-commu

Also, I guess I should make a script which checks if softpipe is the only available driver during startup and if it is, display a message and power off the machine in some time or on key press.-- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] VirtualBox

Yes. VirtualBox 3D driver is tainted crap (see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTk5Mw ) and unaccelerated fallback isn't handled very beautifully right now in Luna dailies. You'd better use VMware Player. -- Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ele

IMHO neither. Mentioning the GPL is a good idea, but Scratch exposes the "negative" side of it. I'd rather use something like "You are free to redistribute this application under the terms of GNU General Public Licence version 3 (link) or higher"... Uh, I mean, ask Cassidy for some honeyed words
