20:09 <mhall119> Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app
20:09 <mhall119> Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone-commons/+spec/initial-filemanager-development
20:09 <mhall119> Burndown: http://status.ubuntu.com/coreapps-13.10/ubuntu-filemanager-dev.html
20:10 <mhall119> so the burn-down is looking pretty good, we're still on track
20:10 <CarlosMazieri> yes we are
20:10 <mhall119> I filed a merge proposal to get the file manager included in the daily builds of the phablet images
20:10 <mhall119> it'll require a code review from the phablet developers, which may not occur for a week, but it's in the works
20:11 <CarlosMazieri> That is fine
20:11 <CarlosMazieri> I had a problem, I decided to test the plugin in the NEMO emulator
20:12 <CarlosMazieri> the clipboard did not work
20:12 <CarlosMazieri> neither on N9 emulator
20:12 <mhall119> does it work on devices?
20:12 <CarlosMazieri> I have only a N9 which I have not tested yet
20:13 <CarlosMazieri> I guess on mobile devices they build X and Qt with less capabilities
20:13 <mhall119> I have a nexus 7, if you tell me what to try
20:13 <mhall119> Ubuntu Touch doesn't use X, it's SurfaceFlinger right now, and will be Mir in the future
20:13 <CarlosMazieri> you can run the regression tests
20:13 <mhall119> tell me how and I will
20:13 <CarlosMazieri> OK, that is something we need to test
20:14 <mhall119> if there's ever anything you want tried on a device, just let me know
20:15 <CarlosMazieri> on my branch there is a bazarrepo/test_folderlistmodel/regression folder
20:15 <CarlosMazieri> just qmake regression_folderlilstmodel.pro
20:15 <CarlosMazieri> and run
20:16 <mhall119> on the device?
20:16 <CarlosMazieri> it generates a binary regression_folderlilstmodel
20:16 <CarlosMazieri> it has 20 test cases
20:17 <mhall119> ok
20:17 <CarlosMazieri> I have worked around to keep a private clipboard data
20:17 <mhall119> ok
20:17 <CarlosMazieri> on Saturday  I will release that code
20:17 <mhall119> how about opening files, is that working yet?
20:18 <CarlosMazieri> yes, but I am afraid it will not work because it depend on Desktop configuration
20:18 <CarlosMazieri> I will test that on Nemo to see if it works
20:19 <mhall119> CarlosMazieri: why wouldn't it work?
20:19 <mhall119> as long as there is something registered to handle the mimetype
20:19 <CarlosMazieri> Agree,   but ...
20:21 <CarlosMazieri> I will put a test to test that on NEMO emulator
20:21 <mhall119> ok
20:22 <mhall119> so another thing we need is to add Autopilot tests
20:22 <mhall119> balloons: want to say something about that?
20:23 <CarlosMazieri> No, I have not tested myself so much the QML ui
20:23 <mhall119> we're going to get Jenkins running autopilot for us soon, and balloons has some documentation on how to write Autopilot tests for QML apps
20:24 <mhall119> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Testing/Autopilot
20:24 <mhall119> that should contain the information needed to get started writing those tests
20:25 <mhall119> and you can jump into #ubuntu-autopilot if you have any questions
20:25 <CarlosMazieri> OK
20:26 <mhall119> last but not least, I'm setting alpha, beta and final release milestones for all of the core apps
20:26 <mhall119> for File Manager, I think you're already past the alpha-stage, so there's no need to worry about that
20:26 <mhall119> I think beta we can target for month-3, which is mid-July
20:27 <CarlosMazieri> that is fine
20:27 <mhall119> and have file-opening (if the system is configured for the mimetype), get the clipboard issues figured out, and have some tests written
20:27 <mhall119> then final release at month-4 milestone, which is mid-August
20:28 <mhall119> and hopefully at some point in there we'll get an official set of filesystem icons to use
20:29 <mhall119> how is our relationship with upstream Nemo, are they still happy with our contributions?
20:29 <CarlosMazieri> I do not have any
20:30 <CarlosMazieri> I do not know if they got our work or not.
20:30 <mhall119> how are you submitting it?
20:31 <CarlosMazieri> I only check it in and push into my branch
20:31 <mhall119> in bzr/launchpad?
20:31 <CarlosMazieri> I thought it is something you guys are taking care.
20:32 <CarlosMazieri> yes
20:32 <mhall119> what does upstream use for their source code?
20:33 <mhall119> maybe popey or Arto were doing that
20:34 <CarlosMazieri> I do not know, I got the previous code from github, Arto first changed something, then I got and worked from that.
20:34 <mhall119> ok
20:35 <CarlosMazieri> my changes are heavy comparing to the initial version
20:35 <mhall119> all the more reason to make sure upstream has your changes, otherwise they might do something that we won't be able to include
20:38 <mhall119> ok, I'll check with those guys to see if someone's working to get those changes upstream
20:38 <mhall119> any other questions or concerns?
20:38 <CarlosMazieri> no
