d_ed:
So on the wayland front: I'm /still/ working on XDGV6
popups are a bit harder with everything
I've written the client and server in kwayland, and they work great against each other
The Qt QPA and kwin do not
and I don't know why, it just sits there waiting for kwin to do something
but I'm not really sure what, so I have a day of staring at logs to do :)
but other than it not working, it's moving forwards :)

romangg:
* I reapplied some lost patches yesterday from the hard reset to KWin's master branch by Eike and Rohan. Hope it's fine this way.

kbroulik:
* Did a couple of improvements to notifications/jobs, now exposes desktop file name, better grouping of jobs etc (VDG is also doing some design mockups and work, I'm assisting them when they have questions "can we do this" etc
* Will improve the Icon widget for websites, so that when you drop a http url in the panel, you get a nice launcher with favicon (D6163), perhaps also extract <title> and other metadata from it.
  Diff 6163 "[Icon Applet] Get favicon for website shortcuts" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D6163
* Plasma browser integration can now also control HTML5 audio. Works on some streaming websites I tested but not with all of them.
* Also added workaround for Chrome 59 which doesn't gracefully quit the host when you close the browser causing it to get stuck in a loop reading garbage from the socket (my xsession-errors file became 38 GiB because of that.. ;)
* I want to look into a "add to panel" or "add as launcher" thing for browser integration that will create a .desktop file for a website (Chrome can already do that "Add to desktop" in Extras menu, there's even a JS API to trigger that programmatically) and then add it to your panel/TM. Need to figure out a way for the user to choose where to place it (maybe even some fancy kwin thing where it minimizes all windows and then lets you pick like the color picker
 effect on wayland we have now?)
* I'm also on Qt 5.9 now on neon and noticed that kickoff's tabs don't properly animate anymore. Also KRunner seems to be morphed around by kwin now (dunno if this is a kwin issue or a Qt 5.9 bug). Other than that looking good!

bshah:
- [Halium] Got test_camera working : http://i.imgur.com/8Td2YVH.jpg
- [PlasmaMobile] halium based images can do calls and recieve calls : http://i.imgur.com/RaUKMy9.jpg (we are proper phone now! :p)
- [Halium] Writing documentation and etc for initial release 0.1
- [PlasmaMobile] Once halium have its initial release, we can publish initial halium based images

Riddell:
* Qt 5.9 is in KDE neon in the hidden testing repo, I'd appreciate people trying it and reporting issues and any opinions on whether I can put it into neon normal repos
* proposed release schedule until end of 2018 is up, let me know what you think https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5


sebas:
- kscreen and other bug triaging
- sydney's data arena patch sent, got tested, works partly, needs another round or two and some thinking
- restarted work on refactoring the kscreen OSD, dialog positioning is screwed on X11, this will be fun :/
- discussed and rebooted the effort on Plasma's vision with Jens
- discussed steps in store assets review process with Jens, some things need implementation on the store side, will feed this back to the store team
- some work on the overall KDE mission
- personal: I'm moving back to more work on Plasma after the past months' other things taking priority: happy about this!
