This a is quick summary of the first UMC team meeting, that took place on wed. Jun 13th, on IRC #elisa. The full (and raw) IRC log is available here: http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/UMC/%23elisa-2007-06-13-21h00.log I've either made update or comments on some of the below information. == Elisa == in time for guadec, everything's rolling, and 2 "classic" themes are planned. (from philn) the architecture is ok, AFAIK, we are doing some small adjustments I'm working on a new plugin/component registry which will boost elisa startup substantially the docs are not very up-to-date these days == Artwork == Christophe Dumas has made several excellent UI propositions, for various aspects: * general layout (style for the various menus/views) https://core.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/wiki/themeSelection * ideas for the top menu layout (including some effects) https://core.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/wiki/HomeMockup For the recall, a vote on the mailing list is needed on the 2nd point (HomeMockup)! philn will post some screencasts to help us deciding ;-) Elisa 0.3 will also feature 2 "classic" themes: the same theme with green *and* blue color palette variation. This will allow both the Elisa and UMC teams to have a specific theme at no cost. Note: Classic theme are in act the new ones, as presented in the above HomeMockup page. (philn) A 0.1 style frontend may be available if lionel has enough free time. == Mailing List == ping'ed Jono 3 days ago... nothing. gotta catch him on irc... Update: I got news from Corey Burger just after the meeting. He will talk to Jono Bacon about the ml and push he creation. Seems Jono is very busy too. == Website and Marketing SF == there is some work underway on the ml. Update: Jeremy Teale has created a Strike Force page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MediaCenter/MarketingStrikeForce People already acting, or planning to, in the website and external communication areas are welcome to expose ideas and actions on the ml using the [MSF] subject prefix. == Packages == (uzuul) well, hum, packagers on holidays :( gotta reload myself a bit more, and find time to finish the cleanups to upload to d.o... no update on lool side. == LIRC == lirc 0.8.2 released work on a config GUI can start. we can limit to USB devices + autodetection first. somebody seems interested on the ml. if somebody is interested in working on that subject, mail back. Update: Loic Dardant has posted an excellent summary on the lirc progress since. lirc 0.8.3 will however be needed for the new "standardised" namespace == Various Ideas == * "UMC Desktop integration" wattazoum submitted this idea. the main idea is to be able to use UMC / Elisa as the default/prefered player, whatever your desktop is (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, ...). this implies some systray icon, background mode, elisa shortcuts, ... wattazoum will create a launchpad + wiki spec to detail this idea. * "democracy" like -interaction lightyear mentioned the idea to create a democracy (http://www.getdemocracy.com/) like plugin this is just the birth of an idea in fact, and will be later discussed * weather plugin lightyear made some mokups of the new weather plugin (aka WeatherNG): https://core.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/wiki/Rewrite-1/WeatherNG_Mockup I've asked to lightyear if he will consider a "wii style" (http://fr.wii.com/movies/forecastchannel_video/) weather plugin. This will be discussed later on on the ml
