Message from Jens:
- We've started working on the "Made for Plasma" moniker for applications - 
the goal being to create a homogeneous look for applications and start with a 
small set.
Anyway we wanted to start bringing that up so if you guys could have a think 
on what base applications you'd like to see included in it that would be 
awesome.

sebas:
- QScreen backend for libkscreen merged
- Fixed some stuff in kdeconnect/5 together with svuorela and ltinkl
- work on moving Plasma::PluginLoader away from KService
