Okular virtual sprint

[Philipp Knechtges]

Hi Oliver, hi Albert,

at first thx for organizing, Oliver. Looks like it is going to be Sun 18 
October.

I certainly did not want to cause so much confusion with addressing my 
willingness to join and FWIW I did not see the original call for a 
sprint, just because of the simple reason that I have been subscribed to 
the list only since last week ;)

In any case, I am glad that it happens now anyway, and that Albert joins 
is also great news. It is not that much that I did want to push my 
personal topics - although I am not really aversed to it either, and thx 
for bringing those up :) - but more that my initial intention to join 
this sprint was to get an idea of those points people have on their 
long-term agenda. And with people I mostly mean the maintainer :) As a 
new contributor I find it hard to get hold of these long-term ideas on 
what the development of Okular should look like, and that statement 
probably holds for every software project out there. A sprint to me just 
seems perfect to, e.g. pitch ideas to the developers and see whether 
they find acceptance, rather than coding things up and then to get the 
MR rejected. Simply put, I hope that the sprint could reduce that friction.

I would also suggest an additional or alternative topic to be discussed 
in the sprint: printing. I know that you, Oliver, have had also certain 
interest in it, and that is also an area which I would like to see 
improved in Okular.

Something else, which people especially in Corona times would love to 
see, would be digital signing of pdfs. But I am probably getting ahead 
of myself, and this is something for a future sprint :)

Looking forward to seeing you at the sprint.

Best regards,

Philipp
