Achievements

• Show off KDE running on ideaPad S10-3t (Plasma Mobile and Kontact Touch). Youtube videos are being spread.

• Discussion about how to make it easier for applications that will use QML to have the KDE conveniences classes (i18n, KICon, KConfig, etc.). Plasma is already using that and Marco sent emails to the interested mailing lists listing several approaches that could be taken. Getting feedback on that matter right now.

• The future of mobile UI is QML for sure. That said, how can we provide QML widgets for the desktop too? It was decided that Plasma will take the leadership on this and try out creating components and after that the rest of KDE will take a look and make a decision. This is one topic to be discussed during the proposed Platform Sprint .

• Started talk with lbt (David Greaves) from MeeGo about a real KDE space in OBS. Right now we have accounts and Mek created a KDE project where we all can play with it. The ideal would be to have a KDE "umbrella" under OBS.

• Packages for MeeGo were created using OBS (kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs). We were stuck with kdebase because it setup +x and +s on some files and this is considered as a security issue by OBS. Thus, our packages are generated in our chroot environment but we are not able to generate the packages in OBS.

• KDE specs will be maintained in this KDE space (right now Mek's KDE space), using openSUSE as upstream when it's possible.

Future tasks

• UX
  • how do we make the image?
  • what exactly will the image contain?
  • what will the plasma shell be like?
  • style guide??
  • how do we promote this? (don't be smeegol)
  • will we have different KDE libs spins for the three profiles on OBS?
  • maintainability: how we create momentum and a community of good packagers that maintain it?

• General
  • make qml widgets (first QML only then using QtComponents api)
  • export KDE convenience methods to QML (integrate QML into KDE, seaparate library depending just from kdecode)

• Other team's sprints
  • Check that our "discoveries" get into another sprints
  • UX MeeGo (KDE / distributions) sprint
  • Design and interactions sprint (talk to seele and pinheiro)
  • Plasma sprint (Tokamak)
  • KDE platform sprint
