16:36:41 <franciscod> #topic the lecture
16:37:22 <franciscod> ill gi through the salient points of the project to get the folks started, we'll have a question answer session once this is over
16:37:37 <franciscod> if you have queries, please put your hand up "!"
16:38:03 <franciscod> #link http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour
16:38:17 <franciscod> you can see wht the tour is about there
16:38:37 <franciscod> its something like a "welcome center" that windows systems feature
16:39:12 <franciscod> to get new users or any user, actually acclamatized to his system
16:39:29 <franciscod> the tour is intended to be much more
16:39:49 <franciscod> its not a ppl presentation where one goes "next" ... "finish"
16:40:02 <franciscod> s/ppl/ppt
16:40:39 <franciscod> from the wiki page, on hosted, youll see that the tour is to do much mor ethan just tell you what your system is about
16:41:02 <franciscod> its going to be sort of a "fedora in a nutshell",
16:41:10 <franciscod> now to tehcnical stuff
16:41:26 <franciscod> if you havent already,
16:41:27 <franciscod> git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-tour.git/
16:41:35 <franciscod> that will give you a clone of the current git repo
16:42:00 <franciscod> the project is still in its infancy, so its easy for new folks to get in right now
16:42:11 <franciscod> we divide the project into a backend and a frontend
16:42:37 <franciscod> the backend takes info from sources, (which the docs team will hopefully provide us with)
16:42:50 <franciscod> and populates objects out of this
16:42:52 <franciscod> info
16:43:23 <franciscod> you can see the MenuObject.py in the backend folder
16:43:41 <franciscod> currently its parsing a dummy xml file in "data"
16:44:25 <franciscod> the menu object will hold this data, once parsed,
16:44:42 <franciscod> we'll use this menu object ot later populate the forntend
16:44:47 <franciscod> s/forntend/frontend
16:44:55 <franciscod> coming to the frontend
16:45:07 <franciscod> we're using ppclutter
16:45:11 <franciscod> pyclutter
16:45:22 <franciscod> we;re trying to make it independant of the DE
16:45:31 <franciscod> so we wont need two frontends, a gtk and  a qt
16:46:00 <franciscod> we have some docs etc in the docs dir, please have a look at them and the existing code to tell you how pyclutter works
16:46:11 <franciscod> #topic questions?

16:46:31 <kishan> none, as of now
16:47:03 <franciscod> kishan: do you intend to contribute regularly to the project?

16:48:06 <kishan> franciscod: yes, hope so. Coding mostly, yes. I've been fiddling around with gtk too lately
16:48:08 <franciscod> hiemanshu: for the record :P
16:48:20 <franciscod> kishan: okay, but we're not going to use gtk, unless necessary
16:48:21 <hiemanshu> franciscod: then you answer on my behalf :P
16:48:33 <kishan> hmm.. okay

16:48:50 <franciscod> all the resources are available on the wiki page on hosted

16:50:26 <franciscod> hiemanshu: i cant really make anyone do it ,
