Hi Oliver, hi Albert,
at first thx for organizing, Oliver. Looks like it is going to be Sun 18
October.
I certainly did not want to cause so much confusion with addressing my
willingness to join and FWIW I did not see the original call for a
sprint, just because of the simple reason that I have been subscribed to
the list only since last week ;)
In any case, I am glad that it happens now anyway, and that Albert joins
is also great news. It is not that much that I did want to push my
personal topics - although I am not really aversed to it either, and thx
for bringing those up :) - but more that my initial intention to join
this sprint was to get an idea of those points people have on their
long-term agenda. And with people I mostly mean the maintainer :) As a
new contributor I find it hard to get hold of these long-term ideas on
what the development of Okular should look like, and that statement
probably holds for every software project out there. A sprint to me just
seems perfect to, e.g. pitch ideas to the developers and see whether
they find acceptance, rather than coding things up and then to get the
MR rejected. Simply put, I hope that the sprint could reduce that friction.
I would also suggest an additional or alternative topic to be discussed
in the sprint: printing. I know that you, Oliver, have had also certain
interest in it, and that is also an area which I would like to see
improved in Okular.
Something else, which people especially in Corona times would love to
see, would be digital signing of pdfs. But I am probably getting ahead
of myself, and this is something for a future sprint :)
Looking forward to seeing you at the sprint.
Best regards,
Philipp

Hi Albert, hi Philipp,
okay, let's be a bit more specific. Three people have voiced interest: Albert,
Philipp, and myself. I propose to adapt the meeting format to this group.
* Let's not meet for a full week-end, but only for a 2-hour slot.
* I suspect that we are all in the same time zone. (Selfishly) I propose to
meet on a week-day evening, rather than on the week-end.
* Topics: I propose to discuss Philipp's color management proposals and patches:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/merge_requests/644
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/merge_requests/643
- Discuss the general approach
- Jointly review the patches
- Discuss how color management could find its way into Okular (a wish
expressed
by Philipp)
* I have set up a poll for a suitable evening:

TU Dresden has Jitsi and BigBlueButton servers which I can use to host the
meeting.
Philipp, Albert, is that okay?
Best regards,
Oliver

I would want to join as well.
Well, you should have said "I'm interested" before i cancelled the idea in my
brain.
Let me be more verbose: obviously I'm not the one that decides if there's an
Okular virtual sprint or not, anyone is free to organize it.
I'm just not interested in organizing it myself anymore due to the lack of
feedback (1 half-positive answer in almost a month out of around 100 people in
the list)
If you're interested in organizing it, by all means find people, find dates,
find an agenda, etc. I may even be convinced to join.
Cheers,
Albert

Do you have any specific topic in mind or shall it be more like bring
your own stuff and see where this goes?
Best regards,
Philipp

Who would have time to participate in an Okular virtual sprint from here to the
end of the year?
Basically would mean "reserving" a weekend in which we say "I'll be connected most
of the day doing Okular stuff" and then we can go over some of the major issues, try to
explain some things that may not be clear about the architecture, etc.
Oh well, i guess no one really interested :/
