Monday notes meeting for 11/5/2020

[Marco Martin]

Nico:
* Got rid of some deprecated stuff in KDE Connect.
* Discovered that Qt Network Bearer Management is deprecated in 5.15
without clear replacement. Needs discussion:
https://phabricator.kde.org/T13134
    Task 13134 "Port away from Qt Network Bearer Management"
[Open,Needs Triage] {KF6} https://phabricator.kde.org/T13134
* Use generated DBus interface in KNotifications
https://phabricator.kde.org/D29420
    Diff 29420 "Generate DBus interface" [Needs Review]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D29420
* Made a PoC for KNotifications without notifyrc files, which we want
to kill for several reasons https://phabricator.kde.org/D29405
    Diff 29405 "[PoC] Make notifications work without a notifyrc file"
[Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D29405
* Cleanup and refactoring of the Android build tooling, like removing
Android build specs for Kate[sic!].
* Made a PoC for a Gitlab Android CI based on our existing tooling.
* Next I want to start a discussion on defining a release process for
Android apps since Itinerary and KTrip are close to release maturity
and current "process" is a mess.
* Fixed a Qt bug in Flickable that is affecting Discover and
potentially all apps using CardsListView.

Kai Uwe:
Notifications:
* Battery *low* notification is now also critical
plasma-browser-integration:
* Now uses HTML5 video "poster" property for album art, when set and
no Media Session in use
Other:
* Global shortcuts KCM search now also finds portable text
    * So you can search for e.g. Ctrl without having to know the localized term
* Port Klipper plasmoid to Prison QML import, please review D29478
    Diff 29478 "[Clipboard Plasmoid] Port to Prison QML import" [Needs
Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D29478

Jonathan:
* so Plasma 5.19 beta is on Thursday!
* please work on the release announcement/new features

David R:
* I had to submit my master's thesis on friday so not much from me but
because of that I was not here last week to anonounce the totally
rewritten super awesome new global shortcuts kcm, now merged :)

Arjen:
* big thing is that we landed the ksysguard work
* so now there's a new daemon, a new library and sparkly new plasmoids
* there's a new ksysguard ui in the works as well, but that won't be
ready for 5.19
* if you're interested, it's now available at
https://invent.kde.org/ahiemstra/ksysguardqml

David E:
Things I've done:
 - worked on some wayland stuff
 - fixed a kcrash in the kscreen KCM
* worryingly we still have quite a few bugs marked as major coming up
to the release of the Plasma beta
*it kinda seems the tagging system isn't helping much (and tbh, I'm
not exactly doing a huge amount either)
*tagged as "VHI" not major
*I would like it if anyone can reproduce
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419008 to let me know
    KDE bug 419008 in frameworks-kirigami (general) "Always crash in
Regional Setting within System Settings" [critical,]
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419008

Bhushan:
* I am mostly working for UI side of plasma mobile notifications on lockscreen
* And this weekend is gitlab migration
* apart from it not much plasma related stuff

Marco:
* Last week decicated to the systemmonitor plasmoids and face library:
