Plasma Team meeting, 31-7-2017
Present: notmart, Sho, bshah, kbroulik, sebas
notmart:
* akademy
* gave two talks
* from component discussion, trying to get rid of plasma components 3
* https://phabricator.kde.org/D6964 in order to use 2 styles in the same process
Diff 6964 "Force Plasma style for QQC2 in applets" [Needs Review]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6964
* starting implementing foreign wayland protocol
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wayland-project/wayland-protocols/master/unstable/xdg-foreign/xdg-foreign-unstable-v1.xml
Sho:
* Attended Akademy in Almeria
** Gave Input Methods presentation, seemed to be well-received
** Wrote a shitty ad-hoc patch adding KUserFeedback to plasmashell
but you would still expect it to have z order linked, darken the browser window
etc
*** Then lost the patch, but now kinda understands a bit of KUF
** Kinda promised Volker to submit a patch for a new provider we can use to
count things
* Immediate todos this week are Task Manager bugs
** 2-3 group dialog popup bugs
** The grouping proxy crash
* Need to come to grips about merging per-activity favorites with Ivan this week
* Want to get back to really focusing on Wayland protocol stuff after the above
bshah:
- Akademy
- Ported "lux", motorola device from Helio to halium
- Hit a known issue with graphics (QTI_BSP enabled device)
- Ordered a device which have QTI_BSP enabled to debug and test fix for that
issue (basically any non-Nexus Qualcomm device)
kbroulik:
* Put some work into Component Chooser KCM to make it more user-friendly (ie. a
combobox for browser selection rather than just a text field), update http
scheme handler when changing browser for better compat with 3rd party apps
* Cleaned up usage of .js files, make sure to use "pragma library" where
possible to avoid it creating an instance of a JS file for every qml file it
uses (especially for delegates)
* Fixed crash in global menu. Good news: Electron seemed to have fixed the bug
in their global menu impl that causes it to break and eat all CPU
* Did an interveiw with Swapnil Bhartiya

* Blog about implementing the vision in mind
* I will be away next week
