[Sebastian Kügler]

Minutes Plasma 'hangout', 1-8-2016, 12:00 CET

Present: mgraesslin, bshah, Sho, sebas, notmart, Riddell, andreas_k, romangg


bshah:
- mobile images
- Mobile image update
- Did new image with kactivitymanagerd preinstalled on mobile
- Disabled qtvirtualkeyboard on that iamge due to various issues
 - One can type only in caps
 - It crashes plasmashell on focusing searchbar

Sho:
- Addressed Qt Quick Flow vs. broken hover event handling edge cause sometimes 
causing faux-active task buttons
- Fixed spinning busy indicator sometimes not disappearing from task buttons
- Merged the hein/screenGeometryFilter branch to master (screen filtering by 
geo rather than number + Wayland support)
- Fixed plasmoid.contextualActionsAboutToShow not firing for panel popup 
context menus (made FV context menu operate on wrong URL when drilled down 
into a subfolder)
- Updated my Qt window enter/hover event handling patch for Qt 5.7 and fixed 
test failure, addresses some FV & co mouse woes -> https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/146786/ / https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/166455/
- Code review for a bunch of FV patches by a new contributor
- Currently investigating why our panel dialogs don't set their  transient 
parent correctly, leading to issues with auto-hide panels that don't set 
struts (looks like Qt)
- Received and played with odroid, but need a screen, will buy https://
git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128444/http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/
prdt_info.php?g_code=G145981837236

Riddell:
- discussion about LTS
- release schedule adjustment proposal

notmart:
* plasma multiscreen branch refactor merged, feedbacks seem good so far
* work on look and feel creator application
* work on fixing desktop scripting issues on startup, working with some 
distributions. New convention: layout.js never does "createActivity()" but 
just reuses whatever is here
* work on the separate look and feel branch: correctly unloads and reloads 
layouts with the "new" scripting convention
* new ways for distros to customize their setup coming up
* kirigami: last round of bugfixes before 1.0, is now in kde-review, in 2 
weeks can be moved to extragear and released, 1 week to go
