    KDE bug 370433 in plasmashell (general) "OSD doesn't show if Panel visibility is set to "Auto Hide"" [normal,FIXED] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370433
Other things:
* Outlined how to do Virtual Desktops on Wayland: https://todo.kde.org/?controller=task&action=show&task_id=1777
* Announced to step down as KGlobalAccel maintainer
* I have lots of open reviews dating back to Oct, 20. I need those reviewed to continue hacking building up on those changes

Sho:
* [libtm] Augmented XWindowTasksModel in to use the new .desktop file window prop made available through KWindowSystem
* [libtm] Rewriting WaylandTasksModel to add absolute-path-to-.desktop fallback to appid handling; instead of caching KService we need to cache extracted app data for that, as in XWindowTasksModel
* Doing code reviews, talking Wayland Virtual Desktops protocol
* Yakuake rewrite work
** Implementing use of KPackage for new-format theme packages
** Playing with KDecoration2 as per Martin's proposal

notmart:
* merged on hover breeze scrollbars
* breeze scrollbar size configurable https://phabricator.kde.org/D3210
Diff 3210 "make scrollbar size configurable" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D3210
* fixed age old bug of invisible osd with auto hide panels
* triaging
* added some docs into KPackage
* Kirigami 2
** fixes of overlaydrawer with desktop style and Qt 5.7, now behaves more like a desktop sidebar
** small fixes in the application header
* Desktop QQC2 style:
** Updated scrollbar look to latest qstyle scrollbar evolutions
** ToolButton.qml

kbroulik:
* Continued work on global menu: together with Dmitry (who did the Qt upstream impl) found a way to make shortcuts work with it (e.g. so that pressing Alt+F brings up the File menu): https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/175494/ and https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/175627/
* Will address remaining review points within the next days and hopefully the infrastructure (plasma-integration) plus window decoration menu (kwin, kdecoration) can be merged. After that I'll continue on the global menu applet.
and hopefully taking a stab at the wave of multiscreen bug reports coming from plasma 5.8 :/
* Application menu runner is rather tricky as currently we cannot have an app export the menu *and* keep its window menu bar visible. Might be able to address that through plasma-integration or needs Qt fix/extension
* Anyone know something about this Qt 5.7.1 regression? https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56932

d_ed:
my high DPI stuff
 - All moving suddenly forward
 - On the QPainter renderer:
 - 2x apps on 1x screen are all scaled down fine
 - 1x apps on 2x screen are all scaled up fine \o/
 - input, damage, etc. is all perfect
 - A window being on two screens at once should all be fine too, kwin's titlebars will even scale appropriately.
 - This week's plans:
   - implement scaling in the other backends - ideally with sebas?
   - and the opengl renderer (and that part is a lot harder)

bshah:
- some more time spent on boot.img stuff for mobile
- eventually gave up on that after too many hurdles
    - can brief post meeting if anyone is interested
- will resume work on normal mobile IMG this week
- Hackernews made plasma mobile bit more popular, some more contributors contacted me
    - talking with them

sebas:
* bit of bug triaging
* some administrative stuff that piled up
