Re: Plasma Beta Review Day
Feedback on the "beta review day" The day was worthwhile - we got 3 or 4 new people involved. Mostly the day ended up being users with specific bugs that only they had, and us using the real-time chat and having time set aside to get on with fixing things quicker than we could have done on bugzilla. Not what I had really imagined for the day to be, but not a bad use either. Things also seemed to go better when I said "I need someone to test blah" it got more response than keeping things vague. Next time a bunch of those upfront would help. Overall I wasn't super impressed with the turnout. Maybe Thursday isn't a good day? I had expected a bunch of people in the evening, but that didn't materialise. In hindsight I should have done some more on-the-day promo too. None of the new people turned on their mics/webcams and just used the chat, I thought BBB might make it more social, but maybe it just made things pressuring and awkward? I think it is worth trying again but only with some adjustments. David

Results were productive and useful, but not very overwhelming * there weren't many people, probably needs better promo, worth do try again next time Nico: * I mostly worked on KAccounts stuff: * Fix owncloud login: https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-providers/-/merge_requests/2 * Make own/nextcloud login urls more resilient: https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-providers/-/merge_requests/3 * Overhaul Nextcloud UI: https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-providers/-/merge_requests/8 * Convert license headers to SPDX * Some code cleanup * Gave accounts KCM a good implicit size https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-integration/-/merge_requests/6 * Brought back the owncloud storage service: https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-providers/-/merge_requests/9 * Port service list in KCM to ScrollViewKCM and improve delegates: https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-integration/-/merge_requests/7 Bhushan * I had been working on single thing last week : https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/293 * This when finished would bring the vkb support for gtk3 apps :) * Currently however I am stuck on one thing that MR have comment about Fabian: * I've only got to report that my pbi MR to fix firefox is still waiting for kbroulik's initial response * kio-fuse: https://invent.kde.org/system/kio-fuse/-/merge_requests/35 for the symlink bug reported by kbroulik https://invent.kde.org/system/kio-fuse/-/merge_requests/36 for asaoutkin's FileJobPool Arjen: * last week I spent a bunch of time digging around plasma's svg cache * initially to figure out what kind of performance improvements we could get since we found with profiling that the svg cache is a bottleneck due to the way cache ids are generated * but then also to fix a bug * my conclusion of that entire thing is that the caching needs a pretty big rework * one major issue is that the cache has no idea about what it is caching * so everything else needs to do the change tracking * not sure how easy it is to do things in steps, but it might be possible to do some things separately * such as moving the caching stuff out of theme, leaving the methods there to only forward to the actual cache instance * anyway, another issue is that apparently the cache ids are used to store information that the svg class uses * which makes replacing the cache id generation really hard * I'd also like to discuss https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style/-/merge_requests/22 * I see no cleaner solution there than the introduced attached property [agreement was to not export api for now and add it only when actual use cases arise] Marco: # system monitor * Merged the treeview mode for the process view \o/ * workaround for https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-86850 in KDescendantProxyModel * workaround for auto exclusive checkable actions # Kirigami * make mobilemode support custom title delegates * resume work on the different theme per engine work * expose a status property in Icon (loading,null,error,ready) * api to enable/disable the header coloring # Plasma * fix click on taskbar thumbnails on wayland * investigating on the wrong color in systemsetting
Video monday meeting next week
Hi all, we are trying an experiment: The idea is to do the monday meeting in video form once a month. We'll start with next monday, same time, 12:00 CEST The idea is to have a more face to face discussion of future goals rather than a cold list of "things i did last week" which *is* useful, but sometimes, a more free-form discussion is more productive. The VDG is doing this monthly meeting sice a while and it seem to have been productive for them -- Marco Martin
D29395: Refactor MediaController
iasensio added a comment. Any chance to retake this and move it to invent? This is really useful for an extension of the media controller I'm mantaining, and will help to eventually upsream it (al least partially) I have a branch based on this MR with some fixes to it, and collaboration in gitlab seems easier REPOSITORY R120 Plasma Workspace REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D29395 To: cblack, #plasma Cc: meven, kmaterka, iasensio, broulik, trmdi, ngraham, plasma-devel, Orage, LeGast00n, The-Feren-OS-Dev, cblack, jraleigh, zachus, fbampaloukas, ragreen, ZrenBot, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, ahiemstra, mart
