* Incompatible changes in Plasma Framework 6 (Marco Martin) * Marco has several branches * https://invent.kde.org/mart/plasma-frameworkhttps://invent.kde.org/mart/plasma-framework(https://invent.kde.org/mart/plasma-framework) work/mart/pf6 * agreement on the AppletRepresentation as base * agreement for views instantiated in qml in shells * branch from the fork imported on main p-f repo * TODO Marco will look into how we can make the changes so that porting is easy(ish) * TODO Marco will try to have in plasma5 the mandatory appletrepresentation base for plasmoids so we can start to port them in plasma5 times * changing the way to do plasmoids settings, still not cleart what to do on that
* System Settings vs Plasma-settings (i.e. Plasma Mobile) * we want Plasma Settings on Plasma 6, meaning no widget kcm support at all * TODO David Edmundson is creating a task to see missing features * https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/plasma_kcm_redesign/(https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/plasma_kcm_redesign/) * QML KWin effects, present windows and gestures (Nicolas Fella) * couple of ongoing efforts * vlad merged an integration of thumbnails in qml * TODO try to contact authors of the 3rd party parachute effect https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute * needs also vdg involvement for eventual present windows redesign * is kdeclarative dependency in kwin is necessary? * Plasma 5.23 Kickoff (Johnathan Riddell) * 5.22 review * we were happy besides the release script breaking the builds * Freeze adjustments * We will start to note in the wiki when the frameworks freeze will happen * Promo review * beta promo was a bit bad, final promo was really good, except the video arrived a week later, what can we so to help? * schedule a bof with promo * Release: move 2 days, to have 14th of october * skip version and say .25? * perhaps better calling it officially “kde anniversary edition” in branding * What happened to the trialled monthly meetings? (David R) let’s try again! * sprints? let’s try one in september, still online * Plasma 6: are we happy with plasma-desktop/plasma-workspace/kde-plasmaaddons as a split and moving forwards? (David E) * many kcms got there because evil krdb entangles everything together, krdb should eventually disappear and ported to something using kconfigwatchers instead of the same cpp file getting included * needing a bit of a functional split in plasma-workspace to have more smaller repos, though it may risk some distros messing deps giving incomplete installations, so not oversplit * Desktop Containment cardinality (both within Plasma5 and Plasma 6) (Nate) * should be something solved with activities somehow * see if having a different view per desktop is really that wasteful on resources * Plasma major bugs - what is open, what are our action plans (David E) (search function inside dolphin not working properly - mounted drivers) * Is the Plasma team communicating enough? * Coordinating with Latte Dock https://phabricator.kde.org/T12433(https://phabricator.kde.org/T12433) * lower barrier of entry for users to test it * in-process: thing for plasma6? * they have the same problems we are having wrt multiscreen: currentscreenid causes loss of data * they are interested in the plasma::theme to Kirigami::theme migration because they want to have panels colored with the current window palette that can be differentfrom system (ie krita with a dark theme on a light theme system) timeframe is Plasma6 and Kirigami::Theme needs to be expanded * add a lattedock in contextual add panel item
