Agenda

Increasing Involvement

We are currently quite a small core team, we need to get some new blood flowing. Brainstorming session on improving this.

HighDpi

• Qt5.4 merges its high DPI support for the X backend.
• We need this for apps
• Plasma Framework does its own thing
• Both have advantages, disadvantages and clashes!

(Plasma 5.2+ material)

Which repo for which plasmoid

Where do we put each plasmoid; plasma-workspace, plasma-desktop, plasma-addons, kde-look. I want defined rules.

Plugin loading

• unify and finalize the way plugins are loaded
• duplicate macros?
• remove the old ones?

Shell loading

• loading every shell's "handler.qml" doesn't scale, intentions and needed input features should perhaps be just config files

SLC BoF

Wayland

• Protocols and Interfaces
• Session bringup
• More X11-specific bits

System Settings

• Redesign ideas
• Strategy
