As usual, available as PDF : Summer of code : weekly report 7.

1 What I have done

Week 5, I was traveling around and week 6 I got very little time to work due to visiting and such, so I decided to sum it all in that seventh weekly report, my apologies for the lack of work.

  • We’re still very late for Ease 0.1, I guess this is because of life business on both sides and because we’re new to releasing. Anyway I packacked Ease for Debian, the last standing point is a “missing dependance information” about clutter-gst-1.0, it should be ready very soon ;
  • Fixed “distcheck” once more, someday I’ll master Autotools... ;
  • Added some error-handling to my Flickr fetcher, when you’re offline, when the request fails, etc... ;
  • Added a focus feature on the player : click a point, and the whole screen shades gracefully except for the area where you clicked. An ugly rectangle at the moment, but it’s still cool ;
  • Nate ported the editor window to GtkBuilder, I’m doing the same for the welcome window, but have a few issues.
  • Bug fixes.

2 What’s next

  • Finally release that Ease 0.1 ;
  • Write a mail to the GNOME UX team (the usability list) about the presentation tips : what’s the best design to inform the presenter about remaining time/slides, time elapsed, etc... ;
  • If they’re not too busy, also ask for a global review of the app ;
  • Move all UI to GtkBuilder ;
  • Some more plugin infrastructure ;
  • YUM packages ;
  • Some more unittests ;
  • Drawing with COGL.

3 Timeline

I’m late on my personal expectations, but regarding my proposal, I’m pretty much on time. I still want to speed up a lot, and hopefully that should be easier now that I stopped traveling and moving around.

4 Issues/Other news

  • Still looking for a cheap ticket to Amsterdam.
