[Sebastian Kügler]

Minutes Plasma 'hangout', 27-6-2016, 12:00 CET

Present: mgraesslin, bshah, notmart, Sho, kbroulik, d_ed, sitter, sebas

mgraesslin:
* went to opensuse conf, reported

* let's discuss an LTS

* openqa usage
* sync of clipboard between X11 and Wayland
* tests found some issues regarding XWayland windows
* in general clipboard still has some problems, code unfortunately untested 
(it's difficult to test)
* helped Bhushan figuring out why the virtual keyboard stopped working on the 
phone. Reason is https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54371
* Bhushan found an embarassing crash on the phone, which is fixed now

d_ed:
* fixing session management problems
* bugzilla wrangling

kbroulik:
* was on vacation

Sho:
- Further minor libtaskmanager behavior adjustments in response to feedback 
(startup timeout handling, etc.)
-- So far nothing scary at all about the new TM in the beta cycle: We're still 
looking good for final
-- Want to remove the legacy applets from plasma-desktop today as discussed 
last Monday + with notmart throughout week
-- Looking to port remaining legacylibtaskmanager users so it can be killed
- Starting to work on Pager-goes-libtaskmanager
-- Will need some light lib changes, plus frontend code rework
-- Looking to share frontend code between desktop and activity pagers, kill 
code redundancy
-- Yes, once I actually have code it'll be on git.ko :)
- Taking some time to upgrade distro on work laptop
- No dates locked, but looking to take about two weeks of vacation in July/
August

notmart:
* first prototype for dynamic layout switching based on look and feel packages
* switching seems to work usually without crashing: it's not fast but 
acceptable
* started a function to dump current plasma setup to a big javascript file
* config generation will be in plasmashell, exposed probably as dbus method, 
all the rest will be done by the kcm
* kirigami: static library version in the cmake version as well (there is so 
minimal that doesn't even need ECM)
** removing all the excuses an app developer may have to not use it (will have 
to add example for each build method)
** ported subsurface to that
** will finally merge the branch this week, will have to see how the fallout 
is also with peruse/discover etc

sitter:
* we want openqa used for Plasma

sebas:
* kscreen bug triaging
* windowmetadata lib getting there
