[00:50] --> Flynn joined #scummvm.
[00:58] <Flynn> can I inquire about contributing to the project?
[01:01] <mataniko> sure
[01:04] <Flynn> dunno even how to phrase it...found the site through efforts of getting old games working, wanted to add to the project
[01:04] <Flynn> I have no idea if the help is even wanted or not
[01:05] <mataniko> any help is welcome
[01:06] <Flynn> what are the ways I can help?
[01:09] <mataniko> there's many ways you can contribute. You can contribute with code by submitting a patch. You can help test games and file/update bugs, you can help with documentation, you can donate to the project
[01:09] <mataniko> a good place to start is the Wiki
[01:10] <mataniko> https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
[01:11] <Flynn> cool, let me read it all and see what's within my competance

[09:16] <salty-horse> hi. I just found out that G. U. E. Tech have a bunch of what LOOKS LIKE Scummvm-powered games on airplane entertainment systems. I can't find any GPL-compliance statements in-game or on their website http://www.guetech.com/catalog/public/games/content/index/publishers
[09:17] <salty-horse> https://twitter.com/hmemcpy/status/1072780234938875905
[09:20] <salty-horse> Is the "X" at the top left a UI element that vanilla Android ScummVM adds? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuM-P7wXcAAUqmO.jpg
[09:21] <Unseen2> Is it really a GPL violation if you are not able to obtain the binaries either?
[09:24] <salty-horse> good point
[09:24] <Unseen2> I think the FSF takes a "source must be available for anyone just in case the binary has been obtained somehow" stance, but they tend to be extremists
[09:26] <mataniko> if the binary isn't changed, the source is available at scummvm
[09:26] <mataniko> It's not required to have it available on the plane :)
[09:29] <salty-horse> I suspect they changed SOMETHING. Maybe adding a splash screen, and some UI elements aren't working. At the very least it's nice to know that it exists.

[10:44] #scummvm: mode change '+o digitall' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.
[10:44] <digitall> salty-horse: ping?
[10:44] <salty-horse> digitall, pong!
[10:44] <digitall> You might want to read this... http://airfax.com/blog/index.php/tag/gue-tech/
[10:45] <digitall> Specifically "Were delighted to bring these excellent new games to the IFE industry, said Max Lingua, Chief Executive Officer of GUE Tech."
[10:45] <digitall> The CEO of GUE Tech is sunmax... the old PS2 porter
[10:46] <digitall> His github profile confirms that https://github.com/sunmax as it lists GUE Tech ... so if they are using ScummVM, he really should update his fork! :)
[10:47] <salty-horse> that's good to know. it would be nice if they made any mention in interviews or their website of the hard work they base their products on
[10:48] <salty-horse> it would also be nice to have Hebrew subtitles for games served on Israeli planes :P
[10:50] <digitall> I would suspect that some of the games are using Android DOSBox or ScummVM ... but others are just Android native.
[10:51] <digitall> Anyway, just thought I would pop in and give you the note if you want to update the Twitter guy.
[10:53] <digitall> Oh one final note... That company name is from the Zork series, see https://www.thezorklibrary.com/history/gue_tech.html
[10:53] --> vliaskov_ joined #scummvm.
[10:54] <digitall> It is present in ZGI ...
[10:54] <digitall> Anyway, I should go and get tea. ttfn
[10:54] digitall (tdhs@unaffiliated/digitall) left #scummvm ("Leaving").
[10:55] <salty-horse> That article isn't very factual: "the team offers Freddi Fish, Putt Putt, Pajama Sam and Spy Fox. The main developer of those games, Tim Schafer, a legend in entertainment biz used to work for George Lucas at LucasArts"
[10:56] <salty-horse> ooh nice zork reference

[11:30] <mataniko> salty-horse: where are you located?
[11:44] <salty-horse> Israel
[11:44] <salty-horse> apparently the game isn't completeable with that touchscreen
[11:44] <mataniko> That's what I guessed, I'm an expat
[11:49] <salty-horse> nice
