notes for meeting of 8/07/2019

[Marco Martin]

Roman:
* I am at the moment refactoring the Compositor class:
https://phabricator.kde.org/T11071 Already multiple patches landed
last week. Thx zzag for reviews. Two more are currently in review
including the split of the class into X11 and Wayland subclasses. I
want to merge these today. I could think of some more clean-up patches
and then look into the actual timing code for compositing.
* Besides I have some patches for fullscreen control. They need a
rebase and I need to test them again to check if they haven't
regressed. But I assume not and want to merge them today as well.
* Further more I want to fix remaining small issues in the KScreen
code this week: T11095 "Further KScreen / multi-display improvements"
[Open,Normal] {Plasma} https://phabricator.kde.org/T11095

Kai Uwe:
 * Went to Tübingen with romangg to attend Tübix (tuebix.org):
     * https://twitter.com/kdecommunity/status/1147458598567632898
     * Gave a brief talk about our offerings for education, e.g. Kile,
Umbrello, LabPlot
     * People quite oblivious to the fact we do stuff "other than
desktops", so was quite good I raised awareness for it there :)
     * Feedback was very positive, people love Plasma <3
 * Fixed various regressions caused by performance optimizations and
refactorings
reira (~jfmcarrei at bl6-7-246.dsl.telepac.pt) has left this server
(Changing host).
reira (~jfmcarrei at unaffiliated/jfmcarreira) has joined this channel.
 * Reverted System Tray UX rewrite owing to lack of care by the author
for regressions caused

Nicolas Fella:
* I mostly did Plasma Mobile stuff
* Random UI/QML fixes in KCMs
* Improvements to plasma-phonebook
* Started writing a list of all the little things that need fixing
* Started rewriting plasma-settings since the current code is
needlessly complex IMO
** Goal is to get rid of org.kde.plasma.active.settings QML import
** My main assumption is that if all KCMs are based on KQuickaddons::
configmodule and Kirigami Page we can just push the mainview onto the
pagestack instead of doing the current stuff in plasma-settings

David Redondo:
* I did some custom widget painting
https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/kde.org/ziVsKAkudnsWYKtvHoDXSXEC
prograssbar animation on spectacle button
* and today continuuing to look into slideshow stuff for wallpaper config

Tomaz Canabrava:
* drkonqi improvements
* work on konsole.

Leinir:
* Themes downloaded through GHNS are now filtered by plasma version
compatibility (5.16 and master), but of course this needs to be set on
the server by someone. So if you come across a theme that doesn't work
right, please tell the theme author, or one of the store admin team
members :) https://phabricator.kde.org/D21510
    Diff 21510 "Filter KNewStuff Plasma Themes by Download Tag"
[Closed] https://phabricator.kde.org/D21510
(nb: we do lack some kind of reporting mechanism for incorrect or
missing tags and whatnot, already on the store workboard)
* wip of my knewstuffquick work here: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21721 :)

Marco:
