May 16 11:34 <chen> Lets get started!!
May 16 11:34 <chen> To start with project updates,
May 16 11:35 <chen> we had the last scheduled stable release 3.4.2 out this monday may-14th,
May 16 11:35 <chen> and we have the next upcoming unstable release 3.5.2 coming this june 04
May 16 11:35 <chen> mcrha has published the draft for EBackendOfflineCache at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-hackers/2012-May/msg00006.html
May 16 11:36 <chen> and i guess we could get some free hands on it..
May 16 11:36 <chen> We now have the imapx provider subclassable
May 16 11:36 <xtian> \o/
May 16 11:37 <chen> its also possible to setup a groupwise account which can receive mails in imapx and send via soap..
May 16 11:37 <chen> the same feature could be extended to Exchange as well with,
May 16 11:37 <chen> mails being received through imapx and using ews for other features if that servers better for someone with small effort
May 16 11:38 <chen> thats the summary of the project updates
May 16 11:38 <chen> anything to be discussed from anyone ?
May 16 11:38 <mcrha> I recall dwmw2_gone talking justr abut the opposite, to use ews for reading and smtp for sending
May 16 11:38 <dwmw2_gone> channel go blue
May 16 11:38 <chen> mcrha, ah, that should be easy :)
May 16 11:38 <dwmw2_gone> yeah, sending via smtp would be nice sometimes.
May 16 11:39 <dwmw2_gone> especially because exchange is broken and doesn't allow 'forward as redirect'
May 16 11:39 <chen> dwmw2_gone, it can be done in a days time
May 16 11:39 <dwmw2_gone> shiny
May 16 11:39 <chen> dwmw2_gone, will get it done over the next week
May 16 11:39 <dwmw2_gone> mcrha: thanks for the reminder about activesync. I'll try to make sure it gets done this week
May 16 11:39 <mcrha> dwmw2_gone, thanks a lot
May 16 11:40 <chen> anything else before we move with individual updates.. ?
May 16 11:40 <mcrha> chen, if you want a little bit about the EBackendOfflineCache
May 16 11:40 <chen> mcrha, sure, that would be nice, go on..
May 16 11:40 <mcrha> nothing much specific, just that as you all may know it had been aimed for a GSoC student, but we didn't attract any, somehow
May 16 11:41 <mcrha> thus the "project" is stuck on man-power currently
May 16 11:41 <chen> mcrha, is there still time to accept applications from students ?
May 16 11:41 <mcrha> if I recall correctly then the initial draft covers also need for kolab, as I discussed with xtian
May 16 11:41 <chen> mcrha, ok
May 16 11:41 <mcrha> chen, I'm not sure, I left the paper work for Philip
May 16 11:42 <chen> mcrha, ok, we can just discuss and look for options offline
May 16 11:42 *xtian should be able to spend some time on the api draft, checking it more deeply
May 16 11:42 <mcrha> the core thing might be pretty simple, as most of the bits are part of the SQLite DB Summary for address book
May 16 11:42 <mcrha> but the rest will be harder
May 16 11:42 <chen> mcrha, understand
May 16 11:43 <mcrha> Philip also told that he's quite busy currently, but maybe later he'll find some time (I think a mid of June or July)
May 16 11:43 <mcrha> so maybe we'll get this for 3.6.0
May 16 11:43 <mcrha> who knows..
May 16 11:43 <chen> mcrha, oh ok
May 16 11:43 <mcrha> (and that's all, folks)
May 16 11:44 <chen> Btw on an another not w.r.t e-mail-factory,
May 16 11:44 <chen> mailer on eds,
May 16 11:44 <chen> had a small conversation with srini on a parallel phone call,
May 16 11:44 <chen> he is looking forward to get it in before the api/abi freeze commences,
May 16 11:45 <chen> he is also looking forward for the eclient apis for mailer
May 16 11:45 <mcrha> "looking forward" in a sense of "will have hopefully done"?
May 16 11:45 <chen> thats the tentative update we have now, will poke him for some more details later which could be shared on e-h list
May 16 11:46 <chen> mcrha, i think 'hopefully done' :)
May 16 11:46 <mbarnes> I think "just before api/abi freeze commences" is too late in the cycle for something like that
May 16 11:46 <mcrha> ok, makes sense (quite some work to be done) :)
May 16 11:46 <mbarnes> that really needs to land in a .1 or .2 release
May 16 11:47 <chen> mbarnes, .2 seems improbable from what i understood from the discussion
May 16 11:47 <chen> mbarnes, it would be more clear once he details it out on e-h list
May 16 11:47 <mbarnes> I'd kick it out to 3.7.1 then
May 16 11:47 <chen> mbarnes, yeah maybe
May 16 11:47 <chen> starting with individual updates,
May 16 11:48 *mcrha agrees with mbarnes, it'll be a huge change, and there is one planned for 3.6 alrady
May 16 11:48 <chen> updates from myside, worked a bit on imapx and some bug fixes,
May 16 11:48 <chen> looking forward to start off with EClientStore apis which i had left back after providing and concluding on a draft api set
May 16 11:49 <chen> mcrha, yeah i agree too
May 16 11:49 <chen> andre_, anything to share?
May 16 11:49 <chen> dvratil, updates?
May 16 11:49 <dvratil> I'm working on refactoring the mail formatter (again :-)). We made quite cool, more OOP-oriented design with mcrha. As result the formatter will be less-hardwired, extensible (!), more flexible, it will allow even more asynchronous mail rendering and some more cool stuff (and hopefully it won't break anything). As part of it, I converted some formatter-related plugins to modules. We'll review it tomorrow with Milan and hopefully it will
May 16 11:49 <dvratil> be ready on Friday or early next week. Then I'll do some more bugfixing and will start the composer-webkit sprint.
May 16 11:49 <chen> mcrha, that sounds really cool :)
May 16 11:50 <chen> dvratil, ^^
May 16 11:50 <chen> dvratil, thanks!!
May 16 11:50 *andre_ has nothing to share
May 16 11:50 <chen> dwmw2_gone, anything to share?
May 16 11:50 <chen> jpunit1, updates?
May 16 11:50 <mcrha> chen, mbarnes, we only miss configuration bindings for modules, and a way to disable them, like plugins can be.
May 16 11:51 <chen> mcrha, cool!
May 16 11:51 <chen> kov, anything to share?
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> modules aren't meant to be disabled. that's the whole point of them not being EPlugins
May 16 11:51 <chen> mbarnes, updates?
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> the finish line for the account-mgmt branch is approaching fast
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> evolution itself is done, and now I'm working through evolution-ews
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> I think once I finish evo-ews and evo-mapi I'll have a good idea of how to handle groupware accounts in general
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> I was wondering if there would be objections to my merging the branch at that point
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> and I'll finish the other groupware modules directly on master so we can get going on testing this bad boy
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> I don't think it's a big deal if a couple groupware modules miss the next point release while I work on them
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> and I know no one here is gonna test the branch until it's merged since we're all too busy
May 16 11:51 <mbarnes> but what do you guys think?
May 16 11:52 <chen> mbarnes, i can offer testing help
May 16 11:52 *mcrha searches for schedule page
May 16 11:52 <chen> mbarnes, what is timeline ur looking to merge ?
May 16 11:53 <mbarnes> if I'm ready in time I'd like to merge just AFTER the 3.5.2 release, or else asap thereafter
May 16 11:53 <xtian> mbarnes: as far as eko (evolution-kolab) goes, hope i'll have it ready for 3.5 by the time you merge
May 16 11:53 <mcrha> Jun 04 for 3.5.2
May 16 11:54 <chen> mbarnes, if the work over the groupware modules is manageable, i would say go for it..
May 16 11:54 <mcrha> mbarnes, I would say, if you've ews done, and you'll promise to do the other core groupware parts, then you can commit just after ews.
May 16 11:54 <chen> mbarnes, i hope it wont break the groupware accounts, that would make it unusable ?
May 16 11:54 <chen> mcrha, that's a nice idea
May 16 11:55 <chen> mcrha, updates?
May 16 11:55 <mcrha> xtian, maybe wait when it's merged, as it is otherwise a double rewrite ;)
May 16 11:55 <jpunit1> nothing much.. submitted folder size patch for ews.. and some internal work..
May 16 11:55 <mbarnes> chen: they would be unbuildable until I fix them
May 16 11:55 <chen> jpunit1, cool, thanks
May 16 11:56 <chen> mbarnes, how about mcrha's idea ?
May 16 11:56 <mcrha> I think I was just on bugs, nothing large being done by myself (I only guide Dan a little)
May 16 11:56 <chen> mcrha, thanks!!
May 16 11:56 <chen> vibs, updates?
May 16 11:57 <vibs> I just finished change password feature for EWS connector. And other bug fixes for downstream.
May 16 11:57 <chen> xtian, updates?
May 16 11:57 <xtian> eko still struggeling with libical memory issues. apart from that, we've branched off gnome-3-4
May 16 11:57 <chen> vibs, thanks!!
May 16 11:57 <mbarnes> chen: if you guys are okay with that, I should have EWS done by Jun 4 and hopefully well on my way with MAPI
May 16 11:57 <chen> xtian, cool, what kind of libical memory issues?
May 16 11:57 <xtian> i was thinking to port eko from 3.4.2 to 3.5.1 now
May 16 11:58 <mcrha> xtian, good for the branching.
May 16 11:58 <xtian> chen: memory corruption with timezones in libical0.48
May 16 11:58 <chen> mbarnes, am ok with it
May 16 11:58 <mcrha> mbarnes, me too
May 16 11:58 <mcrha> dvratil, ^?
May 16 11:58 <chen> xtian, oh ok. iirc mbarnes made some fixes w.r.t in evo. maybe u can look into evo logs
May 16 11:59 <mcrha> chen, xtian made it deeper in the investigation
May 16 11:59 <mbarnes> chen, mcrha: okay cool. you guys trust me more than I trust myself :)
May 16 11:59 <xtian> chen: i'll look these up, thanks
May 16 11:59 <dvratil> mbarnes, no problem :)
May 16 11:59 <chen> mbarnes, :)
May 16 11:59 <mcrha> xtian, didn't they do a release yet?
May 16 11:59 <chen> mcrha, oh ok
May 16 12:00 <xtian> mcrha: afaik not
May 16 12:00 <chen> Anything else from anyone before we wind up ?
May 16 12:00 <mcrha> xtian, if I recall correctly their "fix" was to enlarge some array to larger value, thus it wasn't reallocated
May 16 12:00 <xtian> mcrha: so far, there's only the workaround from that one ubuntu guy
May 16 12:00 <xtian> mcrha: that's the one
May 16 12:00 <mcrha> xtian, hrm, bad
May 16 12:01 <mcrha> the 0.48 is not a nice release, this is the second issue I know of
May 16 12:01 <xtian> mcrha: iirc, the upstream guys were mumbling something of a hosed memory management, in need of a rewrite
May 16 12:01 <mcrha> xtian, ...couple years ago ;)
May 16 12:01 <xtian> bigger issue
May 16 12:01 <chen> mcrha, :)
May 16 12:02 <xtian> hehe
May 16 12:02 <chen> Thanks everyone and lets catch up next month with more updates!!
May 16 12:02 <xtian> thanks chen
May 16 12:02 <mcrha> ...and with new evo
May 16 12:02 <chen> mcrha, yeah!!

Over the past couple weeks the Southeast has been getting a lot of love from the rain gods, and it just reminded me of just how good the southeast is when its raining! With tons of great options within a couple hours of Asheville, it really is hard to beat. In the past couple weeks, I have managed to get on a number of NC classics that rival the best rivers in the world.
Upper Big Creek, The Green (with water in it), Big Laurel (flooded), Overflow, Horsepasture and the Linville all in a 10 day time span. Gotta love it!

I must note that another thing that made this recent boating so awesome was getting my best friend Anne out on three big southeastern runs that she had never been on before (Overflow, Horsepasture and Linville) all in the same week! It was the first time we had gotten to do something new and big together since she gave birth to her son two years ago. Just goes to show that moms can still go big!

'Glee' marks 500th musical performance 0
The new episode of Glee this week will feature the show's 500th musical performance.
So let's see ... the series is in the midst of its fourth season ... that's a total of 81 episodes, counting the one this week ... 500 divided by 81 ... gee, when I became a writer, I assumed there would be no math.
Okay, so a handy calculator tells me that, on average, Glee has produced more than six musical performances per episode. Can that be right?
That's a lot of singing and dancing, my friends. Too much, some might say.
The makers of Glee have chosen a version of Shout - in this case performed by New Directions - for performance No. 500.
I'm assuming the kids from Glee won't be as drunk as Bluto and the boys were when they were dancing and singing along with Shout - in that case performed by Otis Day and the Knights - in Animal House.

A new book from a clinical psychologist boosts wavering New Year's resolutions by helping individuals with diabetes use scientifically-proven personal change techniques to enhance their motivation for good self-care well into the future.
Middlton, Wisconsin (PRWEB) February 06, 2013
In The Diabetes Motivation Book: Change One Thing at a Time with the Science of Willpower, author Dr. Heidi Beckman taps her 15 years of experience in helping people modify their health behavior to outline successful strategies for building positive diabetes habits, one habit at a time. This simple yet powerful guide is written for people who say, "I know exactly what I need to do to manage my diabetes, but I can't make myself do it."
Unlike many of the diabetes books that are currently on the market, this is a book about persistence, motivation, and impulse control rather than the nuts and bolts of diabetes management. It is a timely and practical guide to the process of change. The ideas in the book are based on well-tested willpower techniques that have been studied by behavioral scientists.
Health professionals often lament that they don't know how to give their patients the motivation they need to cope with diabetes for the long term. Patients must attend to the condition on a daily basis. In addition to the physical symptoms, patients must manage the cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal dimensions of the disease. To make matters even trickier, many of the complications of diabetes do not arise until years after the initial diagnosis. Patients then have the challenge of figuring out how to motivate themselves today to prevent something that won't happen until tomorrow (and therefore, is easy to ignore).
Beckman offers a self-help guide filled with tools to tackle the deficit in motivation. Through practical lessons, relevant examples, reflection questions, and "homework" tasks, she encourages readers to:
"Motivation is the fuel that people need to propel themselves toward better health management," says Beckman. "Although diabetes-specific skills are an essential first step, motivation will ensure that they take good care of themselves when faced with the future temptations that life sends their way."
Dr. Heidi Beckman is a licensed clinical psychologist who works in the specialty area of health psychology at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. She is passionate about understanding what helps people change so that they can lead lives that are physically and emotionally healthy. Over the past fifteen years, she has delivered numerous presentations on willpower and personal change to medical patients, members of the community, and professional audiences. She has designed and led a number of psychotherapeutic groups that help individuals adjust to specific chronic medical conditions.
The Diabetes Motivation Book: Change One Thing at a Time with the Science of Willpower ($9.99 print version, $4.99 electronic version; 118 pages, 5.9 X 8.9, paperback, ISBN: 978-1479215225; copyright 2012 by Heidi T. Beckman) is available through Amazon and other online booksellers.
The electronic version of the book will be available for free from February 14 to February 19, 2013. To take advantage of this offer, customers may access a coupon on the website http://www.heidibeckman.com.

Wingate Gets Past Trojans
October 13, 2012ANDERSON, S.C. – Three second-half goals lifted visiting Wingate past Anderson, 4-1, in South Atlantic Conference women's soccer action Saturday afternoon at Trojan Stadium.
Anderson slipped to 5-5-3 overall and 3-2-2 in the league, while Wingate improved to 9-1-1 overall and 6-1 in the league with its sixth consecutive victory and seventh in its last eight outings.
Wingate pressed the offensive attack early, but the Trojan defense held off the Bulldogs until senior forward Shelby Forza gave the visitors a 1-0 lead after breaking open and put the ball into the back of the net from the left side at the 26:34 mark.
Anderson countered less than three minutes later with a pair of shots in the span of 72 seconds, with junior forward Krystal Goss' attempt saved by Wingate goalkeeper Miriam Boucher and freshman Sarah Laney's attempt going over the net.
Junior Krystal Goss evened the score at 1-1 with her team-leading sixth goal of the season in the 44th minute, as she gathered in a loose ball and lofted her shot just over Boucher into the net.
The Anderson defense and net-minder Kaitlyn Neipp rose to the occasion in the 54th minute following a foul whistled on the Trojans. Neipp turned away a penalty kick attempt by Wingate sophomore Katie Simpson, then the AU defense blocked a follow-up attempt and Neipp notched another save in a matter of just seconds in front of the AU net.
But the Bulldogs took the lead on a goal in the 69th minute off a corner kick and added two insurance goals in a two-minute span late in the contest.
Wingate held a 27-5 advantage in shots and a 10-0 edge in corner kicks.
Neipp finished with a career-high 16 saves on the afternoon, while going the distance for the Trojans. Boucher garnered the win for Wingate, recording two saves.
Anderson embarks on a two-game road swing beginning at Columbia College Wednesday. Kick-off versus the Fighting Koalas is slated for 7 p.m.
