Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Elementary Hackfest

2012-10-03 Thread xapantu


Hi,

I am living in Paris now. Just for your information, I will not attend 
to any hackfest if it is not during my holidays, my studies are 
overwhelming me (:P). But if it is during my holidays, and in Europe, I 
will probably come (but I can buy my train tickets myself, from Paris to 
Frankfurt it is approximatively 100EUR (~130$ I think)). Maybe only one 
day, I am not sure...


It would be great, and would speed up the development :)

Okay so far you are truly multinational. It looks like Europe
is the best place for it, maybe Frankfurt is a good choice.

Experience tells me that getting a person from the US to
Europe is roughly 1800$, internal travel in the EU is a bit
cheaper and can probably be had at a medium cost of 1000$ per
person. Which means currently just around 10.000$ in travel
costs alone, board is typically roughly the same so I'll need
to find at least 20.000$ in sponsorships to be on the safe
side. This is given that I can find a venue sponsor as
renting a place is expensive.

Luckily Elementary uses a lot of technology backed by
businesses, e.g. Yorba, Codethink, Fluendo, Canonical and
such, plus I might be able to squeeze a bit out of GNOME and
maybe MonkeySquare can pitch in. It should at least get us a
bit of the way there but it is still a high number to hit, we
may have success using something like ChipIn to gather some
funds as well.

Regardless that is a lot of money which will take some time
to gather. One option that has worked well in the past has
been putting events right after FOSDEM since a lot of
developers go there anyways and occasionally employers can be
convinced to pay for the ticket. I gather you are all
students or otherwise unable to take advantage of such an option.

So a bit of a task ahead it seems. On the plus side this is
going to a challenge which is always a good thing.

just drop a placemark on the nearest major city.  At least

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Support for text buffers and streams in Contractor

2012-10-03 Thread Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff

Hey guys,

Remember Maemo ? It had excellent
design and technology, way ahead of its time. Back in 2009 it had inertial
scrolling in GTK (GTK2!), slim scrollbars, AppMenu, awesome notification
system similar to pantheon-notify... And from this day on I seriously doubt
we ever came up with anything that Maemo folks didn't.

I've been searching for prior art on
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+spec/better-remote-file-handlingand
guess what I've stumbled upon?
*Maemo had Contractor too.*

Their implementation is called "libcontentaction"; an overview and further
docs are available
here,
and the source code is on
Gitorious.
Libcontentaction can act on:

   - Regular files, selected by mimetype
   - URI schemes
   - Nepomuk/Tracker objects (yes, they had
LibraryKittoo!
Unfortunately, Tracker doesn't scale to the desktop needs).
   - Text fragments matched by regexp (which is crazy/awesome)

In addition it supports calling actions over D-bus; it's probably a good
idea to reuse their time-proven format of describing them.

Notably, libcontentaction doesn't support data streams; it's bound to files
or tiny text snippets, pretty much like the current contractor. I've got
all the architecture for data streaming figured out, I wish we could
implement it...
