interface" [Closed] https://phabricator.kde.org/D14822
* I've tried to reproduce the kio (?) bug with "lost data" which is currently 
popular on reddit, but failed
* One of the experiments was to ulimit fds to 100, but that lead to another 
bug: Even disabled thumbnailers are fully loaded

Jonathan:
* it's Plasma 5.14 repo freeze on Thursday!
* if you have a git repo that needs a tar made for 5.14 release and it wasn't 
in 5.13 release, I need to know pronto, otherwise it can't be released
* I'd also like to go over the phan todo board this week with people to update 
tasks

Marco:
Kirigami:
* concerning Kirigami but mostly done by Bhushan: now we have an irc and 
matrix channels, all bridged together
* start translations for kirigami gallery in its standalone repo
* bugfix: refine when icons get forced to monochrome and when not, should fix 
mobile issues on some apps getting colored icons forced to black
* bugfix: FormLayout works better on small screen/mobile: fixed a touchscreen 
issue and loads directly in single column mode on narrow screens
* bugfix: context drawer closes also when the action pushes a new page
* bugfix: remove hardcoded background rectangle from the whole app
* bugfix: fix holes in menus on Material style
* bugfix: fixed a couple of issues in the collapsible global drawer
* feature: ActionToolBar supports actions that are always hidden in the menu
* support disabled actions on the 3 main action buttons in mobile mode
* support for submenus on the 3 main action buttons in mobile mode
* mentoring a new guy (Dimitris) to some junor job in kirigami
----
Plasma Virtual Desktop:
* fix kwin to make old virtual desktop autotests work
* add a bunch of new autotests for the new vds
----
Multilevel KCMs:
* added an hack to keep old systemsettings work on a new framework
* difficulty/for this week: due to the fact we can't write on internal qml 
contexts, the applicationwindow can't be used, multilevel api needs to be in 
kcm, tough is fine as gives better abstraction
