[20:52] Spiso: jopsen ping ?

[20:53] ericb2: I'm here...

[20:53]  yes?

[20:54] Can we start ?

[20:54] yes

[20:54]  ok

[20:54] 1) a point for every project

[20:55]  I did one project so I get one point right?

[20:55]  ... Joking...

[20:55] :-)

[20:56]  what do you want to hear from us?

[20:56] where you are ? (just, guessing)

[20:57] Last meeting we definied objectives for the end of the period

[20:57] are the objectives reached ? what works, what is not complete .. plans for the future

[20:58]  ok, so I think baseline works, adding borders doesn't spoil it, so it works with it too, resizing formulas works now in go-oo and I'll see OO and OOo4Kids in few minutes, when it's compiled

[21:00] Hmm... Haven't got a log of last time... But AFAIK I were supposed to have a stable and testable visual formula editor... And that I have...

[21:00] What I need new is to decide which of the items on my todo-list needs to be done before we try merging it into production code... (For this I'd like some help)

[21:00]  so I think that as specified in my proposal, baseline is done as it should have been, and I wrote that once it's finished I'm happy to deal with whatever becomes necessary or desirable, which I did... so much for this point of view

[21:01] Spiso: just wondering : when you highlight some lines, including one or several fomulaes, and change the fontsize. What happens for the formulaes ?

[21:02]  they change size to the one you wanted it to change to, I forgot this case first time, but then I implemented it in

[21:03] nice...

[21:03] Spiso: you confirm that changing the fontsize for highlighted text containing equations, the fontsize of th equations change too ?

[21:04]  ericb2: not in OOo4Kids version that you have, either try the go-oo patch I sent you, or wait a few minutes for new patch for OOo4Kids

[21:05] Spiso: wow awesome .. so I'll wait 8-)

[21:06]  ericb2: I'm compilling now both OOo4Kids, and OO so it's quite slow

[21:06] From my side, and to summarize, I can say I verified the objctives have been reached : I tested the visual editor (a bit less than) one hour ago, and it works as expected. This is not perfect, but already very nice

[21:07] about the Baseline, everything works fine already, but if we add the fontsize integration, I'd say I'm very impressed

[21:08] I already watched the patches (not finished for Jason's one, very big), but what I have seen is : you both did a real cleanup, and your code is ok for me

[21:08] you both did a great work, and the next step I see for you is to finalize (extremely important though)

[21:09] what we need, is to have a sufficiently documented code, and traces of your work. And event for that, your wiki / blog entries are very good too

[21:10] on the Go-OO side, I'll ask Fridrich for the code integration, but this should be no problem

[21:10] maybe thorsten is there and can tell us more ?

[21:12]  btw, did you find the number of the issue?

[21:13] Spiso: I didn't check

[21:13] Spiso: just back from the dinner

[21:13] Spiso: but I'll search

[21:13] 2) OOo backport

[21:14] For that, and as authors of the code, I remember you'll have to sign an SCA to Oracle

[21:14] but we'll make the point more clear during the next meeting

[21:14] and mba / tl will explain us more

[21:15]  that would be really welcomed

[21:16] Spiso: no doubt they agree to integrate your code

[21:16] Spiso: I read tl mail, and looks like he was impressed

[21:17] jopsen: about your project, I think we'll have to discuss more, because this feature is UI relevant

[21:18] Questions ?

[21:18] I agree...

[21:18] Yes...

[21:18] I posted a long list of todos here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/SummerOfCode/2010/Jonas#TodoList

[21:19]  ericb2: not really ... do you have ooo-build built?

[21:19] I would like some help determining which are essential and which aren't...

[21:19] jopsen: I read it already, and this is excellent for the follow up. Please think to talk about that during the next meeting with mba and tl

[21:19] Spiso: I got one version somewhere

[21:19] (mainly stuff like clipboard integration, undo/redo, etc...) but we can discuss that another time...

[21:20] jopsen: I think this defines a new SoC, or some other project for the Internship, or student application

[21:21] For the record, the log of the meeting will be put there : http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/ImproveMathEquationEditor/IRCMeetings/August2010/16th_August2010

[21:22] ericb2: Maybe... But I have time while going to school... And would like to see my GSoC project in production release someday...

[21:22] jopsen: for the record can you please provide the links for the patches and the videos ?

[21:22] jopsen: you are warmly welcome to continue

[21:22] I posted links to everything from here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/SummerOfCode/2010/Jonas#VisualFormulaEditorpatchforOpenOfficeMath

[21:23] jopsen: perfect :-)

[21:23] Spiso: you too are welcome if you want to contribute to the Go-OO or OOo or OOo4Kids or ..

[21:25] meeting at end ?

[21:25]  ericb2: I got to a stage where every minute of my life is used, but it still doesn't mean it can't be used for coding, I think I'll miss it, so I'll probably find some nice issue related to what I've been doing

[21:26] and did we set a date/time for next meeting...

[21:26] Spiso: thanks :)

[21:26] jopsen: not yet, because I have to contact both tl and mba. But you can propose ...

[21:27] jopsen: at least have an idea of when you are available will help everybody

[21:27]  ericb2: you want next week? because Friday of this week could do..

[21:27] jopsen: nevertheless, I'd vote for an IRC meeting around 11:00 the morning

[21:27] Spiso: well, I can ask for this week no problem for me

[21:27] ericb2: Fine... I'm available all week...

[21:27] jopsen: ok for friday ?

[21:27]  ericb2: try :)

[21:27] yes...

[21:28] ericb2: friday next week ?

[21:28] ericb2: or this week ?

[21:28] Ok, so I'll contact tl and mba and I'll prpose friday this week. Crossing the fingers

[21:28] first proposal : Friday 20th August .. som ehour

[21:28] ok ?

[21:28] same hour?

[21:29] didn't you mean 11:00 CEST

[21:29] 11:00 in the morning

[21:29] jopsen: 11:00, or ... I'd say an office hour, but I can be wrong

[21:29] <Spiso> that's ok

[21:29] jopsen: yes, in the morning

[21:29] fine...

[21:29] OK

[21:29] :)

[21:29] so, meeting over, and thanks to both !
