Re: Mentors needed

2020-05-05 Thread Valorie Zimmerman
He cannot officially stay part of GSoC under those conditions. 29th June is
First Evaluations by which time he should have finishing roughly one third
of his project.

Please ask him urgently to withdraw. We're waiting on the story
announcing and welcoming the accepted students until that is done.

We can discuss what can be done unofficially and out of GSoC when he has
the time to do the work.

 Hello folks, we have a project about porting a QtQuickControls module
 to QtQuickControls2 with only one mentor who marked "I want to mentor" on
 the GSoC webapp.

 If you have already signed into the GSoC webapp as a mentor, and would
 like to help out with this project, please mark "I want to mentor" in the
 app.

 If you have the skills needed to mentor but have not yet logged into
 the app, please:

 1. ensure that you are subscribed to KDE-Soc-Mentor mail list [1]

 2. write to kde-soc-managem...@kde.org and ask to be invited to the
 webapp.

 Thanks!

 I may not be the best mentor this project, but as GCompris would
 benefit a lot from the output of this proposal (this missing module is the
 main blocker we have to migrate to QtQuickControls2), I'm ok to
 backup-mentor it... At least I can provide generic advices and testing.

 But some help from someone more specialist of Qt internals would be
 welcome!

 Timothée

 On second thought, as I'm not so sure I can provide valuable help to
 mentor this project, I unchecked the "want to mentor" button there... but
 again, if there's anyone else willing to help mentoring this project, it
 would be awesome.

 Timo.

About remaining anonymous, that's a more picky subject and we are not sure it's 
a yes or it's a no yet.

Not sure what to tell you here to be honest.

Ingo you mentioned you'd work on that, do we have an ETA?

Re: Adding the Abstract Games Suite to the KDE Applications

2020-05-05 Thread Carl Schwan
Hi,
the developers are both minors but the big brother who is a regular of 
#kde-chat and #kde-vdg already disclosed his name but he also felt 
uncomfortable disclosing the name of his little brother without his 
authorization and I agree with him. We shouldn't ask minors to disclose their 
names.

With the games being under BSD-2 now, do we really need to have the names of 
the developers? It's not like we can't relicense the code to another license if 
we wanted. 


Aside from this issue that I hope Ingo can help with, I'm in favor of 
incubating Abstract Games. The games are great, they could probably work on 
Plasma Mobile with a bit of work. Also, the developers are talented as seen in 
one of their other projects a basic Qt office suite: 
https://gitlab.com/abstractsoftware/o20/o20coreapps. 


I volunteer to be the sponsor or one of the sponsors and help them to migrate 
to the KDE infrastructure.

Regards,
Carl
