Hey Nicholas,

Can you help me get started? I'm itching to contribute to the mobile sphere of 
Ubuntu. 

Thanks.

Fwd: [Ubuntu-phone] 2014-02-21 Core apps update

2014-02-26 Thread Nicholas Skaggs

There's some useful bits in here for those who might have missed the 
update. We are always looking for folks interested in working alongside 
these teams in helping write and maintain tests for the core apps. Send 
me a mail and I can help you get started!

From:   Alan Pope

Hi all,

Update from last week.

Much of this week was spent testing apps in landscape mode on Nexus 10
(manta) and Nexus 7 (flo). Nexus 7 found especially problematic in
landscape due to the vertical space being less than that on our
initial target device - Nexus 4. Some apps need a little redesign to
work when when ran on these form factors. On the positive side this
was a great way for us to throw some of the convergence ideas around
and resolve those issues.

Kunal is working on much needed performance improvements to Calendar
after some simple profiling in QtCreator. I'd recommend all Core Apps
developers to profile all aspects of their applications as there are
some things to learn and real gains to be made here.

Many apps received a new icon - not all have landed in store yet, but
all are in-flight. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281781

We also had a not insignificant amount of pain from moving to cmake.
Mising icons, missing plugins, plain broken apps. Lessons have been
learned!

One ongoing alarms issue with EDS has prevented Clock and Calendar
updates from landing.

== Reminders ==

* Lots of work to get Reminders working well on a tablet / landscape
interface. Iterated through a few options but ultimately identified a
gap in the SDK where multi-pane apps are concerned. Worked around for
now so as to deliver a robust experience for MWC demos. Further work
required to make better use of space.
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281604 - "Add a workaround to get
back to the home view"
* Implement sorting
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279779 - "Reminders tab needs
sorting by date and time"
* Allow attaching of images to notes
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277557 - "Adding images with the
content hub does not work"
* Font Improvements
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273111 - "Font size in notes must be bigger"

== Music ==

* Added search functionality!
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/music-app/+bug/1269037 - "Provide search
functionality"
* Fix issues caused by the cmake transition
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284025 - "Music app 356 on mako
image 206 doesn't play music launched from dash 1st time"
* Bug fixes resulting from testing on Nexus 7 and Nexus 10

== Calendar ==

* Added reminder support
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240539 - "Reminder doesn't work"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270241 - "Add the ability to set
the reminder time"
* Removed the sidestage hint so calendar now runs in main stage on Nexus 7/10
* We had an issue
* Performance improvements to year view underway after profiling

== Clock ==

* Alarms have landed!
* Some bugs found in Alarms functionality ;)
* Additonal autopilot tests.
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1188809 -
"Autopilot Testcase needed: Add alarm"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1188810 -
"Autopilot Testcase needed: Remove alarms"
* UI improvements
* Performance improvments under idle conditions
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199073 - "clock app on galaxy nexus
generates ~2500 context switches a second"
* First cut at converged view of clock
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1174575 - "Clock
app does not adapt well to landscape view"

== Weather ==

* Finally landed The Weather Channel backend!
* Went through many iterations of testing working on implementing
community designed converged view for tablets, which landed in time or
MWC

== Terminal ==

* Finally fixed the long standing bug thanks to dandrader, vthompson
and sil2100!
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1257791 "Enter
