[RFC] Invite Razor-Qt to next Workspaces Sprint

[Martin Graesslin]

Hi all,

I want to suggest that we invite Razor-Qt developers to our next Workspaces 
Sprint in Nuremberg.

*Why?*
At FOSDEM there was a presentation about Razor-Qt and I attended it together 
with many other KDE developers. For me the most important information I took 
out of that talk was that Razor-Qt is not in competition with us, but an 
addendum to our offerings.

Razor-Qt started from the assumption that there is no "lightweight" desktop 
environment based on Qt. This is actually the case - I wouldn't call KDE 
Plasma lightweight. And they aim for a userbase who don't want to use KDE 
Plasma (for whatever reasons, whether valid or not does not matter).

Overall Razor-Qt seems to be rather open to use KDE technologies. What I 
noticed during the talk:
* strong usage of Plasma themes
* Oxygen Widget Style
* KWin (though the recommendation seems to be openbox)

I see here lots of possibilities for collaboration and to ensure that razor 
does not move into a direction that it would become a competition (valid 
question: how to prevent feature creep?) but also that we help the razor devs 
to not re-invent the wheel and use our frameworks (from the talk it seems that 
they are afraid of using K-technology).

Overall to me razor looks like what a Kicker/KDesktop port to Qt4 would have 
looked like and it's nothing like Trinity. It's a modern approach, clean code 
and looking to the future (talk mentioned Qt5 and Wayland). Also I had made 
very positive experiences on discussing the usage of KWin on razor.

*Evil white cat petting master plan*
Personally I would like to get razor on the long road into the KDE community. 
I would love to see razor being hosted on our infrastructure and would love to 
see it as an alternative shell to Plasma offered by the KDE community. That is 
whenever a user complains about Plasma we can suggest them to use razor. And I 
think we all (razor and KDE) would truly benefit from that.

*Comments?*

Cheers
Martin
