2nd Mac porters meeting
When?
2nd and 3rd of December 2006
Where?
Google Hamburg ABC-Strasse 19 20354 Hamburg Germany
How to get there
Airport: HAM There is a bus connection from the airport.
Hamburg Airport does not yet have a direct rail connection to the city centre. The nearest subway & suburban railway station, Ohlsdorf, is served by suburban rail lines S1 and S11 and the subway line U1; all of these will take you to or from the main station, Hauptbahnhof, or Jungfernstieg [city centre].
Ohlsdorf station and the Terminals are connected by the number 110 bus, the "Airport-Express", which runs every 10 minutes.
A taxi costs about 10 euros in one direction.
[FIXME] : find additionnal informations for people who didn't find how connect from airport to the meeting ( both directions)
-> search in Hamburg Airport website :[Hamburg Airport Website]

Google status: Things look OK at this point, unless there are any last minute snags.

Tino will provide an Imac 20" for workshops

12:00 - 12:50 : Eric Bachard
- Greeting and Introduction - Latest Mac porting news - Status of the Mac port ( X11 and Aqua ) - Definition of an agenda for the weekend
12:50 - 13:00 Pause ( Coffee, (whatever) , Beer, Pizzas ... )
13:00 -13:40 Florian Heckl

Agreement on an agenda for the weekend, using the list below Suggestions of interesting topics for the meeting
Workshops
14:00 -16:00 Tino Rachui ( + Pavel Janik )
Workshop1 : debug OpenOffice.org ( gdb, and other tools )
16:00 - 17:00 ( any volunteer ? )
Workshop 2 Most important bugs for alpha
- main event loop - windowing (salinst*) - redrawing - fonts
17:10 -18:00 Eric Bachard
Workshop 3 : Native controls
- description of the code - native controls in runtime- - code review, - search solutions for missing parts : combo / list boxes + text entries
18:00 -19:00
Workshop 4 : (any volunteer to manage ? )
Second line implementations
- native printing (WIP by Yvan Barthélemy, who will provide informations ) - native Filepicker - packaging
Suggestions of interesting topics for the meeting
- Technical description of work in progress - What needs to be done toward an alpha version of the port - Define manageable chunks of work
Technical points to fix together:
1) Reorganize the tree for native version ( ericb'd vote for an obr task :-) )
2) Improve configure for both Aqua and X11 version / ( Claude Lohmaier )
A) modify configure step : provide config.parms.aqua, config.parms.X11 containing specific Mac OS X command line, and just use ./configure --with-config.parms=config.parms.aqua ( or config.parms.X11 )
B) or fix configure. Current issues : bad or wrong/missing autodetection of things
3) Session (workshop?) about native controls implementation :
code review/design or continue the work
4) In case everything is not ready
current work in progress: fonts (multiline sallayout : understand what has to be done, describe the todo) - workshop about debugging OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X : gdb .. maybe complete with leaks and/or other tools ?
Possible action items :
- discuss and define a precise todolist - divide the work - describe party : describe with words and sentences what has exactly to be
done for missing parts:
Where in the code, who can provide informations, tips...etc - write a list of missing classes and methods. - define code intregration strategy - define rules for code review based on wiki - define a plan for Aqua Human Interface Guidelines integration
(modify menus ? )
Other subjects for what volunteers can propose workshops :
- Debuging /using tools for track and /or analyse bugs (very well adapted
to workshops) - QA workshop for Mac OS X - windowing (salinst*) - redrawing - fonts - native printing (WIP by Yvan Barthélemy, who will provide informations ) - packaging ..etc (propose other)
