Update | was Re: Measure-athon & Tooling Sprint | Sat. 16 July 11-19 at KDAB Berlin

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi Sprint attendees,

I am really looking forward to Saturday's Sprint!

Just a few organizational things:

  - To begin work on integrating LabPlot into the measurement tooling, 
we will put aside some time for a video conference with Alexander Semke, 
who will not be able to join in person. I think *15h CEST* is a good 
time for this, since by then we should have a clearer idea of what we 
want to achieve.

  - For those preparing Standard Usage Scenarios (Kate, GCompris, 
others?), please make sure that we have the most recent SUS scripts and 
any relevant information (software version to test, any dependencies, 
etc.). We may need to work on the scripts on Saturday, but hopefully we 
can get to testing early in the day to have enough time to run the 
scripts multiple times. The available OSes to test on are Kubuntu 22.04 
and Neon (stable).

  - One of the goals is to work on data standardization. Please come 
with some ideas for what would be excellent standards to establish to 
make data reusable and results replicable.

  - If anyone has any extra inexpensive Gosund SP111 which we can use, 
please bring them. I will bring the one Volker gave me last time (which 
I forgot to reimburse him for, will do so on Saturday).

  - We can decide on Saturday what other tooling (e.g., KdeEcoTest) we 
want to work on.

These are just some thoughts to come to mind now. Any suggestions are of 
course welcome :)

See you at 11am at KDAB Berlin, Reuchlinstraße 11, Berlin. I believe the 
side entrance is the best place to enter from (though KDABians can 
correct me if I am mistaken). Note the marker on the map:
