With the new timezone spread, it makes sense to reevalulate when that meeting 
should be held.  The spread looks like this:

Agreement was that '''1600 UTC''' was a suitable time, due to the clash with 
the managers meeting, the meeting day will be moved to '''Tuesday'''.

There will be no team meeting from next week due to the release, so the next 
meeting will be on '''Tuesday November 4th at 1600UTC'''.

== Hardy Langpack Update ==

pitti raised the issue that the current hardy language packs still break 
firefox translations, the Firefox scripts are fixed byt Launchpad forgot to 
export the latest templates.  This can be worked around with a manual upload 
for the time being.

 * asac to help ArneGoetje perform a manual upload
 * asac to talk to infinity to find out why Launchpad is breaking firefox 
langpacks

opendocument thumbnails

2008-10-23 Thread Jason Taylor
Would it be possible to get thumbnails for opendocuments to be produced by
nautilus, currently tracker produces them if you have thumbnail creation
enabled and tracker is running but nautilus could be made to do so with a
very small amount of work. (thunar, dolphin etc can already do this )

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/25827 Open since
2005 :(

As I said there is already a binary (/usr/bin/tracker-thumbnailer) that can
produce the thumbnails, all that is needed is some keys in gconf and maybe
tweaking of tracker-thumbnailer to output the file to the location that
nautilus asks for, or a patch to nautilus to not require the output file...
(the gconf key has a output location that if not used triggers a thumbnail
fail response from nautilus)

Note also that all that the thumbnailer does is extract the existing
thumbnail image from the open document zip archive
