[Elementary-dev-community] Google+
Hey everyone, As you've probably noticed, many of us are spending more and more time interacting on G+ and Launchpad only and less time on IRC, the ML, etc. This is because IRC and the ML suck and it's 2014 where we want to share things in a way that isn't totally lame. Plus our workflow on launchpad is pretty locked in so it's easier to get all the right people involved on a MR, through a bug report, a blueprint, etc. That isn't to say that we're not using IRC or the ML anymore, but if you're wondering why they are much quieter, now you know. So if you're not following the elementary community on G+, you should definitely do that. And if you have email notifications turned off for launchpad, you should create some mail filters instead. Personally, I'm much more inclined to share things that are more-or-less private on G+ than to post here just because I know we have a lot of non-devs that listen in here (especially press. Sorry dudes). But on the other end of the spectrum, it makes non-private stuff much more available to non-devs and I think should be more effective in terms of attracting new people. So, as that stupid image that went around on facebook however long ago said, We've moved to Google+.

Nikos, Because google+ allows private posts. So if you're the intended recipient you'll be included there. Just like if someone sent you a specific email instead of the list.

It seems we still have 42 such bugs open, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementary/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize If this is not documented in the get involved page, that should be fixed as well.

In general, I believe that our contribution guidelines are broken.

So a question is, do we have such a text somewhere internally (which we need only to polish and get online) or do we have to write it from scratch? Well, to answer my own question, I believe the page I was looking for was get ./get-involved, which has many of the things I was talking about. But it still lacks guidelines. How would you go about contributing? Should you first engage in the blueprint discussion? Or when the blueprint is settled you can assign it to you? Or do you need to create a bug with the same name as the blueprint and start working on that? (I believe it is the last one) How do you pick lower hanging fruits? If you spend some time on the project, you soon have answers to most of these. But shouldn't we make these readily available to potential contributors?

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas
What I think the OP suggested Contractor for, and what shell scripting does not provide is an API to GUI applications. In AppleScript you could move windows around, show pages in Safari, add events to iCal, play songs in iTunes. I implemented things like a tiling WM, a script to open links in whatever browser is currently running and more in AppleScript. It also lets you do things like download something with Safari, resize images with Preview, but on Linux this is better handled with ImageMagic, curl and other cli tools. Another random idea, that is not a ripoff of OS X is... MS Paint! Something to annotate screenshots or draw a quick schematic. For real photo editing there is gimp, but something light to quickly draw and annotate is missing even from OS X. I'm not so much after the fingerpainting part, for which a dozen paint clones exist. I'm thinking paint with a iLife mindset: make is easy for amateurs to make professional graphics. Check some of the OmniGroup software, and imagine a subset of OmniGraffle and OmniDazzle.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer of Code Ideas
A proper IRC client. I know Empathy does IRC, but it is unsuitable for real use. Try opening a few dozen channels in its tabbed interface. Try idling in a busy channel. All the real IRC clients either *are* a terminal app, or look like terminal app in a GTK window. Compare some screens from Textual to XChat. A client with proper spacing, alignment, typesetting, focus... In short; a design-driven IRC client. I think this should be doable in 3 months.

Great application everyone, I made a number of textual refinements to the GSOC text, hopefully beneficial! Someone with edit capability could pull them in the text (if the GSOC-related people agree).

In a nutshell, the current Open or Save? dialogs in web browsers that they show when encountering a non-web file are terrible; how can I choose if I want to keep the file before I even see it? And why the hell can't I keep the file without re-downloading it? The proper UX would be to open all files that are not web pages in a dedicated viewer, and the dedicated viewer should then allow to save the file for later after you see the contents and possibly edit it. This should apply even if the browser sort of supports this file type, e.g. for images - web browsers make for terrible image viewers! AFAIR the basic idea got the green light from Dan, I believe he will reply to this thread if he has anything to add :) I think had a slightly more complete writeup here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kfI-JB80egEmix0HIJkDkDtMHGF_xeQMqQANqIxxnlo/edit This sounds like a trivial feature, but it would make worlds of difference and it is not trivial to implement because you need a FreeDesktop.org-vetted protocol for signalling show the save button from browser to apps, you need support for this workflow in both web browser and apps, you need to handle legacy apps and be able to tell which are which, you need the keep this file action to be extensible and system-defined so that we could do things like keeping all viewed files for a week without altering the apps, and a metric ton of other details. -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer Of Code
Hi everyone, i hope everyone is reading this thread carefully ;). The situation is the following, we have from 18 march to 29 march time to send our application. The schedule is here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2013 (scroll down) I already created a Google Docs document regarding the question we need to answer in the application and shared it with coun...@elementaryos.org as i'm not sure if there is anyone against making that public visible (other organizations keep it hidden it seems, at least KDE does, but i don't want to decide that on my own if we publish that). We need an administrator and a backup administrator, i think they just do the communication stuff with Google (AFAIK), i think cody or dan are suitable persons for that. We also need mentors. Mentors are the people for tutoring the students, despite i'm not an official member yet of the elementary team, i'll just volunteer as i have the spare time do the job, so we have already one. The more the better! Ok, before the people in #elementary are going to hurt me i'll end this message and hope for some replys :) (I already see fabian lurking around the docs page). (Oh dear, my IRC-talk got documented for eternity and i haven't made a good joke about me and voldy) Regards, Raphael teemperor Isemann-- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Google Summer Of Code
Regarding GSoC, Wikipedia and Google are your friends: https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code There's plenty of blogposts from project maintainers about GSoC results for the projects too. And you can always drop into an IRC of some projects that have participated and just ask for advice. Surprisingly, it usually works. Regarding terminal icon bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1017171), TL;DR: I've worked it around a while ago, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and a reboot should fix it. If not, sudo apt-get install user-specific-alternatives and a reboot. The bug is actually rooted in BAMF (https://launchpad.net/bamf) which doesn't work well with things launched via Debian alternatives system (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives), probably because it's not aware of its way of invoking binaries via chained symlinks. The development story above is in fact accurate, except what was proposed is an ugly workaround, not a fix. I especially like the And then shnatsel told that person that because of something-something it really wasn't possible. - that's the most concise way to explain it I've seen so far! I've eventually worked around the bug by writing a wrapper for handling invocation of apps via alternatives system more properly in several respects. First, the application is invoked directly by its name looked up in $PATH, not by a symlink that confuses BAMF and doesn't take $PATH hierarchy into account. This fixes the wrong icon bug too. Second, it launches the user-preferred application instead of a package-maintainer-defined one, so if your preferred web browser is Firefox, running x-www-browser will launch Firefox, not Midori. Curiously, the terminal icon bug does not seem to occur in Unity, I believe BAMF uses some other workaround there. I didn't have time to test other alternatives system names such as x-www-browser or gnome-text-editor though. But the wrapper could be useful in Ubuntu even if it's not affected by this bug. I've posted to Ubuntu-devel-discuss list about it, refer to my post for more info on the wrapper: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2013-January/014255.html Getting it in Ubuntu will require more effort though and I don't have any time to spare for such relatively minor things (blah exams blah work blah os bugs blah blah). -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff OS architect @ elementary -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
