monday meeting notes for 21/9/2020

[Marco Martin]

David E
* first topic: plasma beta testing day
* It was something we decided to do last kickoff meeting - and we said
lets pick a date in advance as people always forget
* I wrote a draft blog post
* if people can review and give me feedback hopefully I can publish by lunch
* In other news from me, my systemd patchset landed, and there were
quite issues that came about

Fabian
1) Shouldn't master be at 5.20.80 by now? It's currently at 5.19.90
still [will be corrected)
2)  I've got a khotkeys MR, which I actually forgot about myself:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/khotkeys/-/merge_requests/3  It even
uses xlib, so it's twice outdated. What to do with that?
3) Ping for kbroulik about the pbi MR

Kai Uve
* basically I am still kinda recovering from Akademy..
* during Akademy I started a task for "plasma work from home edition"
gathering ideas how to improve plasma for online conferencing and
remote work https://phabricator.kde.org/T13570
* I got myself a USB footpedal now and can now control my microphone
with that :) patches for KWin and plasma-pa will come up when I find
the time to clean them up

Arjen:
* from my side: I've been doing cleanup and release preparation stuff
for plasma-systemmonitor last week
the plan is to do a "preview" release alongside plasma 5.20, then have
it be an official part of plasma for 5.21
* we're also continuing investigation around performance of things on
plasma-mobile/pinephone
* for example today we found an interesting thing where the cache key
used in Plasma's Svg class turns out to be rather more expensive to
create than needed
* oh and I'm encountering several regressions on the plasma 5.20 beta
(coming from 5.19), primarily among them is that button sizes are
broken

regression from QML port:
