Hey folks :)

We had a nice office hour to talk about the goals. If you couldn't
make it to the office hour you can read up on what we talked about in
the attached log.


Cheers

[16:59:28] <sebas> Hi there!
[17:00:07] <Nightrose> hey everyone :)
[17:00:25] <Nightrose> We're doing an office hour for the KDE goals in the next 
hour here.
[17:00:31] <Nightrose> Who is here for the office hour?
[17:00:39] <ngraham> I am!
[17:00:41] <Fuchs> hello :)
[17:00:57] <kaktus> o/
[17:01:07] <Nightrose> Nice!
[17:01:22] <Nightrose> So to give those of you new to it some intro:
[17:01:29] <sebas> I'm there, answering questions about the privacy goal
[17:01:50] <Nightrose> Last year we decided that it is time to clarify what the 
KDE community as a whole is working towards.
[17:02:09] <Nightrose> We had a process where goals for the next 3 to 4 years 
could be proposed.
[17:02:25] <Nightrose> Then there was a vote among the KDE community members 
and we selected the top 3.
[17:02:57] <Nightrose> This means we are spending time on improving KDE in 3 
ways: productivity and usability of basic software, privacy and onboarding of 
new contributors.
[17:03:11] <Nightrose> And we're here today to answer questions related to that.
[17:03:24] <Nightrose> I suggest we start with a short intro of each of the 
goals.
[17:03:29] <Nightrose> sebas: want to start?
[17:04:10] <sebas> sure :)
[17:04:54] <sebas> so we had defined the vision for KDE ... which is:
[17:04:58] <sebas> "A world in which everyone has control over their digital 
life and enjoys freedom and privacy. "
[17:05:30] <sebas> so privacy is one of the cornerstones of this, the idea 
being that Free software is already the norm world-wide, and that these values 
are closely connected to these of privacy
[17:06:01] <sebas> and, being a community project, we have the credibility to 
really deliver software respecting privacy, because we're not driven by
[17:06:26] <sebas> collecting data, we're not bound by the U.S. government (for 
example), and we offer fully transparant software
[17:07:03] <sebas> also, privacy is increasingly important in the post-Snowden 
world, and getting more important every day, while most people don't understand 
it, so we have a mission right there
[17:07:22] <sebas> it's also a value overarching many of KDE's subprojects, 
though in some it plays a bigger role than in others
[17:07:53] <sebas> I could go on for another 53 minutes and we'd be done, so if 
you want more background, I've blogged about it at 
https://vizzzion.org/blog/2017/11/kdes-goal-privacy/ :)
[17:08:04] <Nightrose> Thanks, sebas :)
[17:08:09] <Nightrose> ngraham: You next?
[17:08:10] <sebas> The fully goal description is at 
https://phabricator.kde.org/T7050 btw
[17:08:19] <ngraham> sure!
[17:08:29] <ngraham> Hi, I'm Nate Graham, and I spearhead the Usability & 
Productivity initiative (https://phabricator.kde.org/T6831)
[17:08:53] <ngraham> This iniatitive is all about focusing on our basic 
software like Plasma, Discover, Dolphin, Kate, Gwenview, Okular, and Konsole; 
and the frameworks that underpin them like KIO, Baloo, and Kirigami
[17:09:06] <ngraham> The goal is to improve their usability and polish, and add 
productivity-related features that make them even more suitable for work and 
professional use
[17:09:52] <ngraham> We want to make sure that our software is not only 
competitive but superior to alternatives, so that people will want to use our 
platform in the first place, and fall in love with it for its polish, 
usability, and productivity
[17:10:28] <jankusanagi_> I have to say, this initiative has produced great 
results already; thanks for that =)
[17:10:34] <ngraham> I blog about our progress on a weekly basis (new posts 
every Sunday), which you can see at 
https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/category/usability-productivity/
[17:10:47] <Nightrose> jankusanagi_: \o/
[17:10:57] <ngraham> Thanks ‎jankusanagi_‎!
[17:10:58] <sebas> agree with jankusanagi_, great results so far!
[17:11:33] <jankusanagi_> also, the blogging-about-it part is excellent!
[17:12:02] <Nightrose> ngraham: anything else or should we move on to neofytosk?
[17:12:20] <ngraham> I'm done!
[17:12:28] <tetris4[m]> I love how this goal keeps people excited and this is 
evident through Nate's posts.
[17:12:48] <Nightrose> Indeed!
[17:12:49] <tetris4[m]> so hello from me as well =)
[17:13:00] <ronnoc> o/
[17:13:09] <tetris4[m]> I'm Neofytos Kolokotronis and I proposed the 
Streamlined onboarding of new contributors goal.
[17:14:02] <tetris4[m]> For the KDE community and its projects to stay healthy 
and continue to grow, it is very important that the flow of new contributors is 
continuous and why not increasing as we move forward.
[17:14:21] <tetris4[m]> In short, the streamlined onboarding goal is about 
making the most of our community and the individuals that show interest in 
getting involved.
[17:14:56] <tetris4[m]> My vision is to do this by working together to lower 
the entry barrier for new people to step up and also support those that are in 
their first steps as new contributors.
[17:15:16] <cmacq2> interested in the views of a sort of 'drive-by' contributor 
on this?
[17:15:28] <tetris4[m]> A more detailed blog post can be found here: 
http://neofytosk.com/post/kde-community-goal-streamlined-onboarding-of-new-contributors---introduction/
[17:15:49] <ngraham> ‎cmacq2‎: we are definitely interested in your perspective!
[17:16:15] <at1a5> Why are drvie-by contributers needed?
[17:16:28] <tetris4[m]> and here is the initial task of the proposal: 
https://phabricator.kde.org/T7116
[17:16:39] <tetris4[m]> cmacq2: actually this is part of the goal, to gather 
feedback from new or even episodic contributors!
[17:16:57] <cmacq2> @at1a5 I meant as in 'drive-by patches'
[17:17:11] <at1a5> what are drive-by patches?
[17:17:15] <cmacq2> you don't spend all your free time on the project, but you 
are sufficiently interested to help fix the occasional bug
[17:17:16] <Nightrose> Ok thanks for the intros to the goals :)
[17:17:26] <at1a5> ahhh got it!
[17:17:28] <Nightrose> Then let's go into the discussion part.
[17:17:38] <cmacq2> as for my perspective on the onboarding
[17:17:58] <cmacq2> if you *know* about IRC it is a lot easier, because the 
community is sufficiently active
[17:18:07] <cmacq2> that you get near-realtime support on things
[17:18:49] <cmacq2> the forums ... not so much.
[17:19:00] <cmacq2> kdesrc-build is awesome
[17:19:01] <ngraham> FWIW we mention IRC right on our Get Involved page: 
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Getting_in_touch_and_working_together
[17:19:46] <Nightrose> cmacq2: because it takes to long to get a reply?
[17:20:12] <cmacq2> that, and you get the feeling the place is mostly abandoned 
if you look for the technical stuff
[17:20:30] <Nightrose> Ok that's useful input. Thanks.
[17:21:30] <ngraham> My sense is that the KDE subreddit is sort of becoming the 
de facto replacement
[17:21:36] <Fuchs> a lot of technical discussion is happening on phabricator 
these days, which is also linked on that page (the forum is not)
[17:21:38] <ngraham> (for good or for ill)
[17:21:44] <sebas> I as a developer only occasionally check the forums
[17:21:48] <cmacq2> what I feel remains quite difficult is actually setting up 
a sane test/dev environment
[17:21:54] <sebas> I somehow prefer reddit etc. for this kind of thing
[17:22:00] <cmacq2> I mean kdesrc-build does help you a lot with actually 
getting everything built
[17:22:14] <cmacq2> but it can do only so much to help you install dev packages 
from your distro, for example
[17:22:19] <ngraham> ‎cmacq2‎: we have a page for that: 
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development
[17:22:38] <sebas> cmacq2: agree, it's actually a lot harder if you want to do 
arm builds (for plasma mobile for example)
[17:22:43] <ngraham> which includes information about installing dev packages, 
in fact
[17:23:10] <sebas> we had work going on doing this in a chroot or vm, but that 
usually makes access to the graphics card a lot harder, among other things such 
as sharing the host filesystem
[17:23:19] <cmacq2> ngraham: it does, but it doesn't tell you that if cmake 
errors out with cryptic find_package() message foo
[17:23:32] <[ade]> IRC vs forums is a bit of a balancing act. Some communities 
I hang out in, IRC is the useful source of information and the forums are not; 
other communities it's the other way around. It depends on who-is-awake-when.
[17:23:41] <sebas> it also vastly depends on what you want to do, if it's just 
hacking on an application, not much of a problem
[17:24:00] <ngraham> ‎cmacq2: it's a wiki, so go ahead and add pertinent 
information if you encounter and fix problems!
[17:24:02] <sebas> if you want to work on a framework and test your solution in 
Plasma ... it's pretty hard
[17:24:10] <cmacq2> pretty much that
[17:24:13] <sebas> and if multiple processes are involved, you need to be 
really patient
[17:24:35] <sebas> and then again, if it's hacking a plasmoid, that's quite 
easy again
[17:24:47] <cmacq2> what would be really nice, is if you could have a way to do 
dev work in a 'clean' room environment
[17:24:51] <cmacq2> at least for testing
[17:24:56] <Nightrose> cmacq2: is there anything else you struggled with?
[17:24:57] <tetris4[m]> so are we talking about lack of documentation here?
[17:25:01] <sebas> in fact, I see people hacking qml files quite often, even 
casual users (which is an achievement on its own)
[17:26:18] <sebas> fwiw, I as a Plasma hacker have a system which has 
everything from Qt up built from source, this allows me to hack on everything
[17:26:24] <sebas> and it's a proper nightmare to install
[17:26:32] <cmacq2> tetris4[m]: not really documentation, I get the sense there 
is a step between kdesrc-build and testing your custom application that we 
could help with
[17:26:35] <Nightrose> heh
[17:27:00] <cmacq2> ideally something to automate it
[17:27:34] <cmacq2> so you can run your custom version of the app without 
impacting your main system, which makes developing KDE on KDE a lot safer
[17:27:58] <Fuchs> well, one could provide a full OS (which would be needed due 
to HW access) that you can dual-boot into, but that would require you to 
reboot, which is also a bit of a pain
[17:28:06] <argonel> i'm using direnv to manage the environment variables to 
build and run locally built stuff, haven't had to install any locally built 
packages yet
[17:28:15] <Fuchs> other solutions are unfortunately either distribution 
specific or in shape of a virtual machine, which has limited access
[17:28:37] <ngraham> personally, I do as much of my development as possible in 
a KDE Neon VM
[17:28:48] <Fuchs> so all solutions have advantages and disadvantages. I wonder 
if one could use a sandboxing like flatpak to provide an environment, though
[17:29:00] <ngraham> I find that it works great for me, and provides that hard 
separation of personal system/dev environment that I need
[17:29:06] <ronnoc> Maybe this is naive, but couldn't we produce a "everything 
built from src VM image" and make it available for download? Might not cover 
every case (kio comes to mind) but wouldn't it cover most?
[17:29:20] <ronnoc> ^ nate beat me to it :)
[17:29:22] <Fuchs> until then, having a neon development system in a VM if you 
don't need HW access or dual boot if you need it  (e.g. working on kwin or 
whatnot) should be mostly straightforward
[17:29:25] <ngraham> ‎ronnoc‎: That's essentially KDE Neon Dev Unstable
[17:29:43] <cmacq2> yeah, that was one thing I was wondering about as well: 
both the VM (think emulator like Android), and the flatpak approach
[17:29:44] <ngraham> it works great for that purpose, until you need to test a 
hardware feature
[17:29:55] <Nightrose> ngraham: do we need to advertise this more then?
[17:30:00] <ronnoc> yes
[17:30:24] <cmacq2> also, tying in with the privacy/security/reliability aspect:
[17:30:34] <argonel> ngraham: are you using docker?
[17:30:35] <cmacq2> could we provide tooling to build KDE software in a 
reproducible fashion?
[17:30:40] <ngraham> no, just a VM
[17:30:49] <ngraham> I keep meaning to learn Docker, but haven't gotten around 
to it
[17:31:05] <ngraham> we do have some rudimentary documentation on this though: 
https://community.kde.org/Neon/Docker
[17:31:08] <Fuchs> cmacq2: there already is some CI in place, if you mean that
[17:31:32] <cmacq2> no, locally reproducible
[17:31:32] <Fuchs> cmacq2: 
https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Continuous_Integration_System   which 
is basically "build KDE software in a reproducible fashion" for tests and the 
likes
[17:31:37] <tetris4[m]> Fwiw, I remember this talk in last year's Akademy that 
I think is related: https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2017/public/events/372
[17:31:42] <Fuchs> oh, that is trickier, I guess, due to distribution 
differences
[17:32:29] <[ade]> and reproducible builds (.org?) has reports on the state of 
KDE software, mostly built on Debian. Many KDE bits are not-quite-reproducible 
(in the sense of bit-exact the same when built twice). There are common causes 
for that, but .. that's probably chasing it a bit too far for this office hour.
[17:32:44] <cmacq2> probably.
[17:33:03] <Nightrose> But might be a nice thing for someone looking for 
something to contribute
[17:33:25] <cmacq2> my point is: that if we could get that to work, what it 
would imply is that it would be *really* easy to build & for us to know that 
what they are seeing matches what we are expecting
[17:33:33] <Nightrose> If you are looking for contacts I can introduce you to 
one of the main people behind it
[17:33:41] <Nightrose> *nod*
[17:34:31] <cmacq2> if we can get something off the ground here, well *I* am 
definitely interested as you can tell ;)
[17:34:50] <Nightrose> Hehe deal. Let's connect after the offie hour then.
[17:35:33] <Nightrose> Ok more questions? Otherwise I have one.
[17:35:35] <ronnoc> So in addition, maybe another takeaway here is that 
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development should perhaps have a 
section on running Neon-Dev-Unstalbe for a temporary and clean playground to 
mess in?
[17:35:46] <Nightrose> Yes sounds like it
[17:35:52] <ronnoc> in a VM or Docker
[17:36:06] <sebas> would anyone want to write this?
[17:36:31] <ngraham> I can, since that's my primary environment
[17:36:31] <sebas> It's not rocket-science, just needs perhaps two or three 
hours of detailed writing and testing this alongside, and then we can refer to 
it
[17:36:41] <sebas> sweet, ngraham!
[17:36:43] <cmacq2> cool!
[17:36:46] <ngraham> the question is, what should be its relation to the 
existing instructions?
[17:37:00] <Nightrose> It would probably be good to have the eyes of someone 
new for this.
[17:37:05] <ngraham> we don't want to present multiple paths here or else it's 
really confusing for new contributors, and makes it seems like we'r ehedging 
our bets
[17:37:53] <sebas> ngraham: as addition to the "test your patch" section maybe?
[17:38:05] <ngraham> I would favor making this the default new contributor 
path, and moving all the stuff about how to build on bare metal to the more 
advanced page (because it is more advanced, really)
[17:38:13] <ronnoc> Well, IMHO, for someone -completely- new to Plasma, a VM 
would seem ideal to me as the lowest-pain-way into it
[17:38:28] <tetris4[m]> How about putting this under "Setup your development 
environment", and perhaps link elsewhere for per-distro specific instructions?
[17:38:44] <ngraham> if we're recommending a VM, we don't need per-distro 
instructions, which is nice
[17:39:20] <tetris4[m]> sure, but they are probably still useful for people 
that want to go down that path.
[17:39:21] <argonel> i'm certainly curious about the vm workflow, look forward 
to reading it :)
[17:39:27] <ngraham> my proposal is to make the main page introduce KDE Neon as 
a VM development environment, and put all the other stuff on the more advanced 
"Build From Source" page
[17:39:44] <ronnoc> someone hosing their system in unforeseen ways by updating 
packages on a daily driver seems a bit like adding potential failure points so 
I agree w/ Nate
[17:40:03] <Fuchs> sounds good to me, if you add instructions (under advanced, 
maybe) on how to install the VM into dual boot it would also fix the edge case 
of needing hardware access (GPU and bluetooth come to mind, potentially others)
[17:40:51] <ngraham> I don't know how to dual boot into a VM environment,can 
you do that?
[17:40:55] <ngraham> if so, that sounds pretty cool
[17:40:58] <[ade]> keep in mind that the stronger we push KDE Neon as The One 
True Way To Develop For KDE, the harder we could be alienating not-Neon distro's
[17:41:18] <ngraham> Neon isn't a distro, it's basically just a dev environment
[17:41:19] <[ade]> ngraham: it's a neat edge case with VirtualBox, for one thing
[17:41:21] <BCMM> potentially stupid question: is there a reason it can't run 
in a plain old chroot and access the system's real X server and bluetooth stack 
for stuff like that?
[17:41:29] <sebas> ngraham: check with ochurlaud, he's been restructuring this 
stuff lately
[17:41:45] <einar77_work> [ade]: I concur (but I won't press this further, so 
that the discussion can go on)
[17:41:51] <ngraham> Who is ochurlaud? (i.e. real name?)
[17:42:03] <sebas> Olivier Churlaud
[17:42:12] <bshah> ngraham: I've been recently experimenting with running 
Plasma Mobile in qemu and building/testing software on it ... I would be happy 
to review/discuss more about this workflow
[17:42:21] <ngraham> cool
[17:42:22] <[ade]> ngraham: you set up VBox with a passthrough vmdk pointing to 
physical disk, so you can physically boot to that disk, or start a VM with the 
same. It gets messy if you suspend one and then boot the other, though :)
[17:42:44] <ronnoc> [ade]: not the one true way, just maybe the recommended one 
for someone new & looking to contribute, I'm sure the other sections for 
setting up envs in particular distros isn't going anywhere
[17:42:49] <tosky> BCMM: you don't need a chroot to develop KDE stuff; for 
Plasma it may be a bit more complicated
[17:42:54] <asturm> pff, suspend... witchcraft
[17:42:57] <Nightrose> *timekeeper hat on* 18 mins left 
[17:43:15] <ngraham> [ade] I will look into that, thanks!
[17:43:18] <einar77_work> ronnoc: those in general will probably need 
adjustments (as a second step), they're too barebones to be useful
[17:43:28] <einar77_work> (I just looked through them)
[17:43:42] <jankusanagi_> ngraham: people see KDE Neon as a distribution; they 
can download a .iso and install it as their OS → distro
[17:43:58] <sebas> let's not discuss this here now though
[17:44:10] <[ade]> .. but let's not discuss that particular elephant
[17:44:11] <ngraham> ‎jankusanagi_ That's a pretty significant failure of 
messaging on our part, and yes, a discussion for another time
[17:44:18] <sebas> is there anything people would want to know or discuss about 
the privacy goal?
[17:44:23] <jankusanagi_> sorry, not my intention :p
[17:44:38] <sebas> or comment on what you're especially unhappy with in terms 
of privacy?
[17:44:50] <cmacq2> not unhappy
[17:44:53] <sebas> to me it sometimes feels it's a bit too abstract and not 
directly beneficial, or seen as that
[17:45:03] <Nightrose> also: What are the places where privacy matters most to 
you?
[17:45:10] <cmacq2> but we don't really do the flatpak thing yet
[17:45:27] <bshah> I've question about Privacy goal. I understand that we're 
promoting privacy (and security, which is not scope for this question 
currently) but my question is, what privacy related products we're already 
offering? and what we want to offer?
[17:45:37] <bshah> (both software/hardware wise)
[17:45:57] <cmacq2> I think this is where our flatpak or $app_runtime 
integration comes into play
[17:45:58] <sebas> to me personally, our own tools are just fine, but we can't 
really cover the walled gardens, so we don't reach far enough (and I don't see 
an easy solution to that, too)
[17:46:15] <cmacq2> you could offer things like partial access to user's 
contacts etc.
[17:46:31] <cmacq2> but only if you really do get to arbitrate
[17:46:37] <sebas> bshah: about half of our software relates to privacy
[17:46:45] <ronnoc> to me, privacy in applications is really up there in 
importance. e.g. Vaults and things like what will Falkon do to ensure user's 
safety and privacy while browsing the web?
[17:46:59] <sebas> krita less so, kmail definitely and there's a lot of stuff 
in the middle (such as plasma)
[17:47:09] <cmacq2> and then we also need to look at security
[17:47:29] <sebas> yes, privacy and security are closely related
[17:47:31] <[ade]> our oftware can promote safe, secure, private communication 
for whatever they need to do.
[17:47:32] <cmacq2> not just security bugs per se, but also relying on old 
openssl with the kdelibs support stack
[17:47:42] <Fuchs> personally I don't think it's about offering software 
specifically for privacy, but rather make sure that our software keeps privacy 
in mind (kmail, kgpg/kleopatra, browsers, file managers ...) and makes things 
easy for users to achieve privacy
[17:47:56] <sebas> also secure protocols, wayland vs. x11 for example
[17:48:11] <sebas> Fuchs: both are in scope
[17:48:14] <cmacq2> oh, most definitely
[17:48:33] <tetris4[m]> communication and encryption tools come into play here, 
and also tracking.
[17:48:33] <cmacq2> and things like not using /tmp and general temp file badness
[17:48:45] <sebas> I'd go as far as privacy by default, you should be able to 
trust the software without changing settings first
[17:48:47] <[ade]> another little example: if baloo is going to store index 
information per-device, then the database per-device needs to be audited to 
make sure that private information doesn't leak via the index.
[17:48:59] <vkrause> offering alternatives to some particular privacy-invasive 
google service comes to mind
[17:49:03] <sebas> "KDE takes care of my privacy by choosing decent defaults" 
alike
[17:49:51] <bshah> [ade]: nice example, is it already case or should we report 
bug? :)
[17:49:53] <sebas> vkrause: yes!
[17:49:56] <ronnoc> what is our recommended chat / IM solution these days and 
how does it achieve those goals. And, should we be shipping one by default? We 
still list kopete as the app in many places.
[17:50:08] <sebas> ronnoc: we're on IRC! :D
[17:50:11] <cmacq2> what is the state of kwallet...
[17:50:21] <ronnoc> sebas: :P
[17:50:26] <sebas> j/k ... I think community consensus leans towards matrix, 
but we're not there yet
[17:50:39] <sebas> and neither is matrix, but it's the most promising future 
solution
[17:50:59] <jankusanagi_> XMPP ftw =)
[17:51:01] <sebas> Sho_ is spearheading the client side, and also in contact 
with the protocol and server people
[17:51:04] <[ade]> kiosk, too, is one of those "things"
[17:51:23] <bshah> reference to cmacq2 question: can we do something about 
kwallet? due to it's annoyance I've seen lot of people "disable" kwallet and 
hence storing passwords in plaintext..
[17:51:28] <sebas> is it, though, [ade]?
[17:51:40] <Fuchs> both (IRC and matrix) will be supported
[17:51:47] <bshah> there is solution for it kwallet-pam, but we're not 
advertising it more I believe
[17:51:49] <sebas> it's about restricting users for certain environments, the 
overlap with privacy is pretty slim IMO
[17:51:49] <argonel> does kwallet actually interfere much?
[17:51:56] <Fuchs> details are at  
https://blogs.kde.org/2017/09/05/konversation-2x-2018-new-user-interface-matrix-support-mobile-version
    mostly
[17:52:11] <argonel> i'm used to macos' keychain where you only notice it when 
its broken
[17:52:53] <einar77_work> bshah: kwallet-pam needs downstream adjustments, but 
once set up, it's painless
[17:53:07] <argonel> kwallet5's asking about blowfish vs. gpg is a bit 
annoying, but maybe that's solved now?
[17:53:16] <einar77_work> argonel: keeps on asking actually
[17:53:28] <cmacq2> kwallet + chromium can definitely be annoying -- the combo 
doesn't seem to take "no"/cancel for an answer
[17:53:28] <argonel> ah.
[17:53:32] <einar77_work> perhaps it's a matter of UI
[17:53:33] <vkrause> btw, if someone has travel booking confirmation emails, 
boarding pass emails or pkpass boading pass files to donate to the work for a 
free travel assistant beyond Google Now/TripIt, feel free to send those to me :)
[17:53:41] <einar77_work> UI/UX
[17:53:49] <sebas> cmacq2: do you know if there's a bugreport about this?
[17:53:58] <cmacq2> don't know
[17:54:00] <tetris4[m]> the kwallet issues sound like things that Usability 
goal could tackle ;)
[17:54:01] <sebas> problem is that kwallet isn't exactly actively maintained or 
developed
[17:54:03] <argonel> well, the thread about the future of kwallet was quite 
self-defeating
[17:54:33] <cmacq2> filing targeted/focused bug reports is also a thing for 
onboarding, come to think of it...
[17:54:41] <ngraham> yes, let me dig up the bug report...
[17:54:43] <cmacq2> (it coul be easier)
[17:54:53] <ngraham> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333137
[17:55:09] <ngraham> also potentially 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353960
[17:55:43] <Nightrose> ngraham knows all the tickets :D
[17:55:44] <ngraham> FWIW we have a whole page on how to write good bug 
reports: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting
[17:55:47] <ronnoc> vkrause: related to  KDE Now by chance?
[17:55:59] <ngraham> I have a gigantic master text file of all the most 
annoying KDE issues :)
[17:56:21] <tetris4[m]> cmacq2: yes, and there is a whole discussion on the 
task about bugzilla about that which got merged with onboarding, I plan to 
bring it up again as part of the goal.
[17:56:23] <bshah> ngraham: would it make sense to put this text file in e.g 
etherpad?
[17:57:39] <vkrause> ronnoc: kinda, but pushing this a lot further than KDE Now 
did
[17:58:35] <sebas> vkrause: making kdab lifestyle easier? :)
[17:59:09] <vkrause> travelling regularly certainly helps with the motivation 
;-)
[17:59:17] <sebas> I bet it does
[17:59:42] <Nightrose> Hehe alroght folks. We're almost at the end. Any more 
input/questions/... on the goals?
[17:59:59] <Nightrose> Anyone looking to help with making them happen?
[18:00:00] <ronnoc> vkrause: Very cool. As a Kolab / kdab user, I'm all for 
that!
[18:00:16] <vkrause> I managed to get to FOSDEM with a screenshot of a 
KDE-rendered boarding pass, next step is getting to the PIM sprint with one 
live rendered on my phone :)
[18:00:50] <sebas> what's a kde rendered boarding pass?
[18:01:02] <vkrause> not using the images you get from airlines, but the 
updateable pkpass files
[18:01:27] <vkrause> ie all visuals and the barcode have to be rendered by our 
code
[18:01:49] <sebas> I don't even know what a pkpass file is :)
[18:01:57] <DottorLeo> hi!
[18:02:10] <sebas> but also, my sweet sweet lady is waiting for me
[18:02:15] <sebas> in the real world
[18:02:19] <Nightrose> If you want to help with any of the goals feel free to 
ping, tetris4[m], ngraham, sebas or me. We're happy to help point you in the 
right direction to get started
[18:02:28] <sebas> yes, absolutely
[18:02:43] <vkrause> sebas: Apple Wallet pass files
[18:02:43] <sebas> I'm usually here on IRC, easier to reach during European 
office hours
[18:02:57] <sebas> vkrause: still doesn't ring a bell :)
[18:02:57] <Nightrose> Thanks for joining, everyone. If you found this useful 
we'll do another one.
[18:03:00] <ronnoc> Nightrose: Thank you for hosting! Lots of good info here in 
this short time, that's for sure.
[18:03:12] <sebas> +1 on the thanks, it was useful and enjoyable! :)
[18:03:18] <sebas> thanks Nightrose :-*
[18:03:24] <argonel> yes, thanks all! look forward to the next one :)
[18:03:26] <Nightrose> :*
[18:03:26] <cmacq2> yes, thanks!
[18:03:31] <eukara> thanks :)
[18:04:30] <jankusanagi_> yep, thanks =)
[18:04:35] <tetris4[m]> +1, looking forward to the next one =)
