 10:03:49 <popey> better

 10:03:54 <popey> ok, the usual links...

 10:04:04 <popey> blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone-commons/+spec/initial-facebook-development

 10:04:18 <popey> reviews: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-facebook-dev/ubuntu-facebook-app/trunk/+activereviews

 10:04:27 <popey> bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-facebook-app

 10:04:31 <popey> hows it going?

 10:04:49 <barbarrica> I've moved to month 1 work items

 10:04:55 <barbarrica> I've moved to month 2 work items

 10:05:27 <popey> any progress on like/comments?

 10:06:17 <barbarrica> yes I've pushed a new version to hmiguellima/ubuntu-facebook-app/hlima-initial yesterday

 10:06:26 <popey> ooh

 10:06:27 <barbarrica> some issues though

 10:07:26 <popey> issues?

 10:07:36 <popey> I just tried it and it loaded then locked up and died

 10:07:45 <barbarrica> I've tried to style the posted message to look more like the other platforms, so i added a like count and comment count

 10:08:30 <barbarrica> yes it's segfaulting randomly

 10:08:51 <barbarrica> it's related to the getting the comments count part

 10:09:43 <barbarrica> the new feed model, currently doesn't support getting the comment count of a message

 10:10:07 <barbarrica> so I've tried a workaround, by loading the comments feed for each message

 10:10:39 <barbarrica> asynchronously, but it's crashing...

 10:10:39 <popey> Well done on the styling, it does look more Facebook compliant ☻

 10:11:33 <popey> do you have any idea where it's crashing? is it in the app or in friends?

 10:11:52 <barbarrica> thx, the images now overflow the feed panel like in the other mobile ports

 10:12:10 <barbarrica> it's crashing in friends

 10:12:12 <popey> oh, didnt realise that was intentional ㋛

 10:12:51 <popey> ok, lets get a bug filed in friends so we can get them looking at it.

 10:13:15 <barbarrica> ideally the news feed model should return the comment count...

 10:13:26 <barbarrica> I'll ask Ken about it...

 10:13:45 <barbarrica> so you got it to work ?

 10:14:16 <popey> yes, it works until it crashes

 10:14:29 <barbarrica> right

 10:15:22 <barbarrica> another option is to not show the comment count until you expand the panel to reveal the comments

 10:15:49 <popey> interestingly it runs for a while before dying

 10:16:06 <popey> if i scroll up and down near the top, showing only the top 2-4 posts it seems fine

 10:16:15 <barbarrica> yes, if you scorll slowly... it works better

 10:16:17 <popey> its only once I go beyond the first few posts it dies

 10:17:26 <popey> yeah, moving quickly killed it

 10:17:34 <barbarrica> when you click on the like/comment panel it expands

 10:17:44 <barbarrica> there I'll show the comments

 10:17:52 <barbarrica> and allow the user to reply/like

 10:18:57 <popey> gotcha

 10:18:59 <popey> looking good

 10:19:45 <barbarrica> this branding/styling thing, also made me thing about the tabs header panel

 10:20:02 <barbarrica> think (sorry)

 10:20:29 <barbarrica> the tabs header should have a blue background

 10:20:45 <popey> I think the tabs header should probably disappear

 10:20:49 <barbarrica> a facebook logo, and some icons

 10:21:14 <popey> in some of the other apps we've removed it

 10:21:26 <popey> I'm not sure if it needs to stay in the fb app?

 10:22:35 <barbarrica> I took a look at the Windows Phone port, and it's the port that takes the most unique path to styleing

 10:23:02 <popey> I've not seen that..

 10:23:17 <barbarrica> they have kept the top tabs panel (panorama layout)

 10:23:42 <barbarrica> but with a different (non native) styling

 10:23:59 <popey> http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Windows-Phone-Facebook-app-620x418.png

 10:24:01 <popey> that view?

 10:24:14 <barbarrica> yes

 10:24:33 <popey> interesting

 10:24:45 <barbarrica> the top header, has a tabbed navigation

 10:24:49 <barbarrica> like ours

 10:25:05 <barbarrica> and the bottom part a button panel

 10:26:31 <popey> i can see that mapping to the ubuntu touch design, indeed

 10:26:41 <barbarrica> yes

 10:27:09 <barbarrica> the other ports (android, ios, and bb10) all look the same

 10:27:17 <barbarrica> and use a hidden menu

 10:27:28 <barbarrica> to navigate in the different views

 10:27:36 <popey> right, the pull in from left menu?

 10:27:49 <barbarrica> yes

 10:27:51 <popey> the windows version looks a lot cleaner

 10:28:15 <popey> are there any other blockers or issues right now?

 10:28:23 <barbarrica> no

 10:28:53 <popey> do you need me to get hold of ken or will you do that yourself?

 10:29:42 <barbarrica> I'll message  him today ...

 10:30:00 <popey> ok, great.

 10:30:12 <popey> We're all going to a sprint in Oakland next week

 10:30:21 <popey> so I'll be in UTC-8 (I think)

 10:30:45 <popey> so this time for our meeting won't be good for me, is there another time later in the day we could use? or another day & time?

 10:32:23 <barbarrica> I'm available at night, daily from 23:00 pm

 10:32:51 <barbarrica> after I  put kids to sleep :)

 10:32:53 <popey> which timezone is that?

 10:33:01 <barbarrica> GMT (Lisbon)

 10:33:30 <popey> ok, I'll find a time next week which fits us and will move it for next week only

 10:33:40 <popey> after that do you want to keep this time we have now or thursday?

 10:34:22 <barbarrica> it's the same for me

 10:35:05 <popey> ok

 10:36:14 <popey> loving the progress, looking forward to seeing it merged into trunk when the crashes are fixed

 10:36:38 <popey> let me know if you need anything..

 10:37:21 <barbarrica> yes, I'll try and get the comments/like panel working nicely for next week

 10:37:53 <barbarrica> thank you

 10:38:02 <popey> have a great weekend
