Re: KDE Incubator: Telly Skout Sponsor
I've added in Plasma Mobile Gear into https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle#Releasing Once the app has passed incubator you can ask the Plasma Mobile team to add it into their Plasma Mobile Gear releases. It also needs to pass kdereview which is just allowing people to review the code and check it complies with our normal practices. Having said that Plasma Mobile Gear release several apps which have ignored this requirement so it's not strongly policed. Jonathan

I think you may have not looked at the URL enough. This does needs incubation, he's just developing it in a private repository, but he doesn't have a KDE Developer account. Without a KDE Developer account we can't move this out of https://invent.kde.org/plata/ to something like https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/ or whatever would make sense since he'd lose commit access when the move happened.

Re: KDE Incubator: Telly Skout Sponsor
Hi, this app looks great. I don't think there's a need for any formal Incubation process, that's for when an app has already been part of another development community and infrastructure and that all needs moved over. if you've just developed this in KDE then great, stay within KDE. I'd echo Carl's comment that I don't know what EPG means, better to spell that out. I had a seg fault when I ran the app for the first time after selecting some favourite channels. This app is heavily dependent on external data sources. But the data source seems to be hard coded into src/tvspielfilmfetcher.cpp and I'm not clear what format is needed to add other sources. It would be good to have that well documented and some non-code format for data sources (such as json or .desktop files etc) so anyone can propose to add one easily. It probably also needs some testing code to check over the data sources to make sure they are still active, these sorts of things tend to go inactive without warning. When you feel the code is getting ready for release you can ask for a review, see kdereview section here https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle Then use releaseme to make a release and get it packaged up. Let me know if you need any help with that.

Re: KDE Incubator: Telly Skout Sponsor
Hi, An EPG is a TV guide application. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_program_guide I agree that using 'TV guide' instead of EPG is a bit clearer :) Cheers, Carl Original Message On May 5, 2022, 00:53, Aleix Pol < aleix...@kde.org> wrote: > > > Hi Plata, > Would you be able to explain a bit what a "Convergent EPG" is? > > Aleix > > On Wed, Apr 27, 2022 at 11:53 PM Albert Astals Cid wrote: > > > > El dilluns, 25 d’abril de 2022, a les 18:09:42 (CEST), Plata va escriure: > > > Hello, > > > > Hi. > > > > > I'm developing Telly Skout, a convergent Kirigami based EPG > > > (https://invent.kde.org/plata/telly-skout). > > > I started developing this because I was missing an EPG to daily drive > > > Plasma Mobile (coming from Android). > > > Currently, I'm the only committer but I hope that this might change now > > > after moving to KDE Invent from GitHub. > > > I would love to see Telly Skout becoming part of Plasma (Mobile) Gear. > > > Therefore, I'm looking for a sponsor. > > > > That's great :) We can always use more developers in KDE.

Hi Plata, Would you be able to explain a bit what a "Convergent EPG" is?

That's great :) We can always use more developers in KDE. Welcome! I'm not super experienced myself on Plasma Mobile, so I'd suggest you to drop in their Matrix channel (or mailing list) and ask there https://plasma-mobile.org/join/ If you don't have any luck I will help you, after all the incubating part is relatively generic for most of the KDE parts.
