Been a busy week for me personally and also with the TV team 20:18:54 I did remove the old teams from the /SubTeams page just now. 20:19:17 MrChrisDruif, no problem, you have the right to report nothing :) 20:19:19 Other than that no updates. 20:19:57 ok thank MrChrisDruif :) 20:20:30 =) 20:20:33 I'll skip report from IRC (since Unit193 is away), and add a report from the devs 20:20:50 #topic Weekly report - Devs teams report 20:21:15 I'll assume for now the report of the team at the weekly meeting 20:21:40 so this week, our software-center was accepted in ubuntu repositories :) 20:21:53 Great work gilir 20:22:32 if you want to keep the last version, you can still use the PPA 20:22:48 but be sure to report bugs ;) 20:23:00 2 more items are available for testing 20:23:11 Which are? 20:23:13 1� : the new session manager 20:24:03 I send a mail some weeks ago about it 20:24:28 for now, it should at least do the same that the previous version 20:24:51 and I would like to have some feedback from users, to know if there no problem using it 20:25:02 o/ 20:25:10 is this for 12.04? 20:25:23 phillw, yes, the goal is to inlcude it in 12.04 20:25:33 I'll get it put on my VM 20:25:46 the PPA is https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging 20:26:03 thanks phillw :) 20:26:24 the 2� item is an update of the default settings 20:26:37 also available in the same PPA 20:27:12 ther is some bug fixes, but also some changes that I would like to have feedbacks 20:27:36 gilir: Does it kill off the default screensaver? That's a change I'd like :) 20:27:51 jmarsden|work, yes, it should :) 20:27:59 Good! 20:28:08 it turns the screensaver to blank by default 20:28:26 we still need it to lock the screen 20:28:32 Yes, makes sense. 20:28:32 Can you name some of the changed settings for 12.04 which affect users? 20:28:40 changelog is at the first entry of http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+junk/lubuntu-default-settings/view/head:/debian/changelog 20:28:54 but most importants are : 20:29:00 Add a rule to maximize all new windows with type normal. 20:29:12 Place new windows on the monitor with the mouse, rather than the primary monitor. 20:29:34 Add a custom configuration file for xscreensaver, with blank mode by default 20:29:49 probably, the most visible is the first one :) 20:30:01 it means any application you launched is maximised 20:30:48 I tested it on my neetbook, and it's very confortable to not manually maximised the windows you launched 20:31:38 of course, it's a setting we can change in the futur, and it only affected new installation 20:31:39 Ewww, not sure I like that idea... but I'll try it before I complain too much :) Yes, but not everyone uses netbooks ... 20:32:47 jmarsden|work, yes, that's why I would like some feedback before :) 20:33:27 Maybe I will upload it for Alpha 2, as I said, it can be reverted 20:33:32 * MrChrisDruif always maximizes windows 20:33:33 Understood. 20:33:56 Even on a "big" screen 20:34:29 I always leave a bit of desktop so I can right-click on it to use that menu... just different work habits. 20:34:54 finally, stefano started a new program to "replace" catfish 20:35:21 I didn' have time to look at it, but I doubt it will be ready for 12.04 20:35:31 but it should be available in a PPA at least for testing 20:35:48 And catfish did what again? 20:36:01 searching files 20:36:09 sorry, forget to mention it :) 20:36:47 that's all for me 20:36:54 For use in PCmanFM? 20:37:11 MrChrisDruif, no, it's a separate application 20:38:09 anyone other questions before I end the meeting ? 20:39:03 Did we do anything about makiing it easier to autostart apps ? 20:39:27 jmarsden|work, the new session manager should do a better work 20:39:53 you can select application to start by type, instead of a list of commands 20:39:57 OK, good. I had a request for that from someone preparing to switch from XP to Lubuntu on a bunch of older PCs in Africa... 20:40:29 so, you can disable for example the screesaver, the power-manager, even the panel if you want 20:41:17 currently, the improvement sof the new session manager are : 20:41:25 Add initial applications by default support (panel, screensaver ...). It's a way to configure applications started by default, rather than just adding a line in autostart 20:41:34 * Add initial options support (Keymap, XRandr, Keyring). It's the ability to add some options add start-up, like a screen resolution (instead of using a .desktop file in autostart directory). 20:41:44 Add initial Dbus support (draft of org.lxde.SessionManager interface, GNOME compat mode) 20:42:10 not all are completed yet, but I hope have them ready for 12.04 20:42:42 Sounds good to me. 20:42:49 :) 20:44:35 ok, let's end the meeting for now, if you have question, we have a new shiny mailing list :p 20:44:59 thanks everyone :) 20:45:02 #endmeeting
