freemangordonWizzup: how do you think, do we still have upstream for telepahty?07:50
WizzupI was planning to email the tp mailing list once we have it working well enough and see what people say07:51
freemangordonI joined #telepathy here, there are few people in the room07:51
freemangordonlets see if they have anything in common with tp :)07:52
freemangordonbecause I want my work on haze upstreamed07:52
freemangordon(the planned work)07:52
Wizzupnlnet has also said that if tp upstream isn't active, that maybe we could become upstream07:52
Wizzuphttps://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/07:52
WizzupI guess parts of fdo are still down07:53
freemangordonyeah, does not look very active07:53
freemangordonmost are up though07:53
freemangordondoes nlnet offer budget if we become TP upstream?07:54
Wizzupthere might be some07:54
WizzupI'm waiting for us ot be 'ready enough' with the tp work, so sphone/conversations working well, integrated in maemo, which is very close I think07:54
freemangordonlike, if we have, we may ask som of the ex-tp upstream guys to join07:54
Wizzupmaybe, but they don't pay top salary for sure, so don't know if posssible07:55
freemangordonso, you think I shall hold my horses with tp-haze MUC chats?07:55
Wizzupare you sure haze doesn't do channels?07:55
freemangordon'multi-user'07:55
WizzupI think I loaded the slack purple plugin and I thought it worked07:55
Wizzupbut I might be confusing it with bitlbee07:55
freemangordonit does, but IM (person-to-person) only07:55
Wizzuphm07:56
Wizzupwell, I don't think haze muc is urgent, but if you like to work on it, go for it :)07:56
WizzupI would definitely love it personally07:56
Wizzuphttps://wizzup.org/slack-pidgin.png07:57
Wizzupso this was working for sure07:57
Wizzupthat is a channel with people07:57
Wizzupoh, in pidgin :D07:57
Wizzupheh07:57
Wizzupokay07:57
freemangordonright :)07:57
freemangordonnot in TP07:58
freemangordonfacebook group chat works in pidgin07:58
freemangordonbut not in tp07:58
WizzupI think the other thing you mentioned, improving phone cpa and the connui cellular libs is also very useful, and there is qt5 vkb07:58
WizzupI see07:58
WizzupI think just pick whichever :D07:58
freemangordonand having that working is a big selling point IMO07:58
Wizzupmhm07:58
freemangordonI know, but me personally would prefer to have working FB chats when we have conversations :)07:59
WizzupI think it's very useful07:59
freemangordonyeah07:59
freemangordonnot only FB will gain from that08:00
Wizzupwe'll also eventually have to figure out how to add new tp interfaces and generate glib/qt code for them08:00
Wizzup(for OMEMO for example, I think)08:00
freemangordonit is auto-generated :)08:00
freemangordonfrom interface definition, IIUC08:00
Wizzupstill have to figure it out :D08:00
freemangordonyeah08:00
freemangordonbut lets first reach that point08:00
Wizzupmhm08:00
freemangordonok, I will pull latest haze code and will start working on it08:01
freemangordonperhaps you could write to TP ML in the meanwhile08:01
WizzupI would like to write them in the new year when we have something to show off08:03
Wizzuplike, 'we have tp working well here and plan to stick to it'08:04
freemangordonok08:04
WizzupI have to go afk soon08:04
freemangordonok08:05
freemangordonhmm, actually the latest haze release is from 3 years ago08:14
arno11freemangordon: audio and video links received in conversations through fb messenger work (like bitlbee in fact), we just need a way to open them directly in conversations :)11:33
arno11but pictures don't show any link (and it was the same with bitlbee iirc)11:34
arno11actually to play links, the trick is to export chat, copy the link in the file and open it with mplayer11:36
arno11and it works11:37
arno11audio quality is really good btw, video is low res11:42
arno11bbl11:42
freemangordonI guess this is a matter of UI (showing pictures)11:42
Wizzupon the tp topic there are also various unmerged pull requests for gabble/wocky13:10
freemangordongabble is gmail?13:35
freemangordonumm... gtalk13:35
freemangordonor whatever it was called13:35
Wizzupxmpp13:36
Wizzupjabber13:36
Wizzupbut yes, gtalk as well probably, since I think that is just xmpp13:36
freemangordonyeah, but it is no more, they stopped the servers13:37
Wizzupwell, xmpp is not dead, it's very alive and kicking13:40
WizzupI do audio and video calls with people using my self hosted server and dino (xmpp client for desktop), to their smartphones using a foss app for xmpp13:40
Wizzupso it seems like a great fit imo13:40
Wizzupnorayr: are there any updates to amazfish that we can push? I have a pinetime here13:49
norayrthere is a new release which i didn't package.13:51
norayrbut pinetime should work with the current almost last release.13:51
norayr(norayr is also inky also maxwelld)13:52
maxwelldtest13:55
maxwelldyes that's me.13:55
Wizzupok13:57
norayrlet me know if it works. i tested it with other watch, and it only worked on pinephone, not on d4.13:59
Wizzupright13:59
Wizzupthe d4 might not have the right bt hw13:59
WizzupI think uvos pointed this out at some point as well14:00
norayrand make sure to read the wiki. because it is indeed hard to use that app. (:14:00
norayrat least with my amazfish bip which is the first watch it actually started to support.14:01
Wizzupmaemo wiki, or another wiki?14:02
uvosWizzup: so the wl1285c is a bluetooth 3.0 raido, and the d4 was never advertised with bluetooth low energy support. The 1285c is a special custom variant presumably made to order for motorola buuuut...14:14
uvoshttps://www.ti.com/lit/ml/swpt037/swpt037.pdf?ts=1703164059354&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fduckduckgo.com%252F14:14
uvoscheck this out14:14
uvosthis is an even older part and ti claims: "Software-upgradable for ANT & Bluetooth low energy (BLE)"14:15
uvosso now i wonder if we can make 1285c also do ble14:15
uvosor if it should even work allready maybe14:15
bencohif it has support for ble and we already have working bt, then I'd say it should work14:16
bencohone could try with hcitool lescan for instance14:16
uvoswell it wasend advertised as sutch14:16
bencohif it wasn't advertised as such then it's a different question14:16
uvosbut i gues the 127x and 128x are software upgrableto do it14:16
bencohbut testing should be rather straightforward14:16
uvosyeah14:17
Wizzupsounds like a fun experiment :)14:17
Wizzupis there any doc on how to do this?14:19
uvosbencoh is just suggesting to use hcitool to scan for ble devices14:20
uvosobv that will show some if it already works14:20
Wizzupthat's a good start14:20
uvosso no documentation required for that14:20
bencohyeah, just 'hcitool lescan'14:20
uvosother than that if it dosent allready work presumably we need to find firmware to load that enables the feature, and look at the kernel driver14:21
bencoh(I have no d4 here right no)14:21
bencoh(now*)14:21
Wizzupblasphemy14:21
uvosi dont have a single ble client device so im not a good candate14:21
WizzupI haven't ever connected my pinetime to anything, so I don't know how to get it to show itself, but I'll try14:22
uvosyou will probubly want to bluetoothctl instead, not sure if hcitool is still around (seams not in arch)14:22
Wizzupwell, it'd be on leste so we'll have hcitool I think14:23
uvosnot sure but bluetoothctl you have for sure14:23
Wizzupok14:23
uvosits "scan le" there14:23
WizzupI have to leave the train in a minute, but I will try to check some time soon14:23
Wizzupbtw there might just be LE devices around you from other people that might show up14:24
Wizzupdepending on where you are I guess14:24
uvosvisible ble devices are pretty unlikly in a small german village14:24
Wizzup:)14:24
WizzupI had expected the cows to be equipped with ble sensors14:25
bencohWizzup: the train should be a good place to try that, with lots of people there :>14:36
bencoh(well, I guess you already left the train)14:36
