Hello,

I have put a slightly incorrect license header at top of files. It is supposed
to be LGPL v3 or later but contains a few errors and is not matching the one
currently found on FSF site.

I am not sure if it is necessary to ask explicit permissions from all
contributors or if I can fix it directly. What is your advice ?

Best regards

Hello folks, GCi is much earlier this year, so we need to gather tasks NOW.
The org application period is now open, and I see a good start on tasks on
<a href="https://community.kde.org/GCi" title="https://community.kde.org/GCi">https://community.kde.org/GCi</a>. However, they are all from GCompris!

Please look over their tasks and copy some for your own project!

Yes, this contest is quite a bit of work, however this year it will not run
through the Christmas holidays which should make life easier.

Hi

I'm contemplating building an export tool for Plasma 5 configurations based
on config files on an existing system - from what I can gather mainly
located in ~/.config, ~/share and the likes.

Hello,

I have submitted a small patch for KInfoCenter. I have put it in
Phabricator as explained in the documentation. The entry is this :

<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D14737" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/D14737">https://phabricator.kde.org/D14737</a>

I'd like to know if my entry in Phabricator is correctly filled, esp. the
"reviewers" because I have no idea of who should review my code. I've
checked what looks like the github repo ( <a href="https://github.com/KDE/kinfocenter" title="https://github.com/KDE/kinfocenter">https://github.com/KDE/kinfocenter</a> )
and found some names matching with Phabricato's suggestions but I'm not sure...

I'd also like to know if I still have some other administrative things to
do or if it's just a matter of waiting...

Hi,

I don't manage to have my local client keyboard mapping when I connect
to vnc server (x11vnc) in a kde plasma system.

Are there some settings needed in order to make it recognized ?

Is it supported in KDE plasma (that works fine in other systems.)

S.Ancelot

Hello everyone,

in case someone can answer, there is a user that reported Latte Dock global
shortcuts arent working at alternative environments e.g. Gnome, Budgie

the bug report is at: <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396572" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396572">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396572</a>

Latte supports global shortcuts through KGlobalAccel,
do you know if that framework is only Plasma centric?

regards,
michail

Hello to everyone,
in my ongoing attempt to integrate Konqueror and QWebEngine, I'm still
struggling with a way to share cookies between QWebEngineCookieStore and
KCookieServer. While investigating this issue, I found a problem when adding
cookies to KCookieServer by hand which doesn't seem happen when using
Konqueror with either KHTML or KWebKitPart.

Latte updated its stable branch in order to prepare the last beta before
v0.8.
The official v0.8.0 release is scheduled for 16 July. All translators
interested to have a complete transation for v0.8.0 you can use the stable
branch of Latte Dock to do so...

michail

Devs,

I have been trying to find a way to reduce the digital clock plasmoid font
size. In:

/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qml

I have tried changing:

font.pixelSize: 1024

to

font.pixelSize: 512

hoping to 1/2 the font size, but no joy.

Hi everyone,

Due to some issues with MSVC we are currently encountering, the Binary
Factory is currently unable to successfully complete Windows builds.
As part of diagnosing these, reinstallation of MSVC has been required,
which has required Windows CI builds to be disabled temporarily.

It is likely that CI coverage will be restored sometime in the next 24
hours, however Binary Factory capability will take longer.

Unfortunately due to the nature of these failures it is possible we
will not be able to restore full service until Microsoft releases the
3rd preview release of Visual Studio 15.

Hello Everyone.
For building Elisa from kdesrc-build, I am building the dependencies from
here:
<a href="https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies" title="https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies">https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Instal...</a>

But this is installing version 5.9.5 for Qt and version 5.44 for all kde
frameworks. Elisa requires versions 5.10.0 and 5.45 respectively. How can I
install these versions? I would be really grateful if someone can help me
out since I have spent a lot of time building the dependencies but its
resulting in errors while building elisa.

Hello team,

Given recent events and decisions (
<a href="https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2018-June/086117.html" title="https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2018-June/086117.html">https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2018-June/086117.html</a>) I feel
it important to bring more to the table.

Martin’s decision is an unfortunate one. Martin has been with KDE through
thick-and -hin and has earned the respect and love from many members in the
community. He has also earned my respect.

I can’t help but think that the VDG is a tremendously influential group
within KDE. I personally take this as a huge responsibility and a call to
do even better in our approach.

Hello,
I'm trying to fix a bug in Dolphin. It basically doesn't show any
information in columns like Artist, Image size etc. in details view.

After finding what is missing I wanted to see an example way to retrieve
that metadata. I decided to look at the code of Information Panel which
works correctly. After seeking some help in the IRC channel I decided to
dive into the code. Information Panel uses Baloo widgets to fill that
information. KFileMetada is meant to be used as a fallback compile time
option. And I was told thay KFileMetadata has been deprecated.

Hello,

I have a question regarding kdesrc-build and CMake.

I setup the build environment variables and ran kdesrc-build and got a compiler error kinfocenter.

I investigated /home/gregor/kde/src/build/kde/workspace/kinfocenter/CMakeCache.txt and found the
following lines

//The directory containing a CMake configuration file for KF5Service.
KF5Service_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib64/cmake/KF5Service

//The directory containing a CMake configuration file for KF5Solid.

Hello,

I am a GSoC 2018 student at KDE and have applied for the developer account.

I want to attend Akademy at Vienna, Austria this year and have submitted a
travel reimbursement request for the same.

1. Do I need to fill any RSVP form to let KDE know that I am willing to
attend Akademy 2018 if my travel request is approved?

2. It says the deadline for the second round of travel request is May 31,
so do I need to wait for May 31 in order to know the approved status of my
request?

Hello all,

I am a GSoC 2018 student under KDE Community and I want to attend Akademy
2018 to be held in Vienna, Austria from 11-17 August. I have checked the
webpage and found that the last date for proposal has been passed away
(March 12).

Is it still possible to attend Akademy during GSoC period (final mentor
evaluation phase) with travel reimbursement?

Thanks and Regards,
Dileep

Hello,

I really appreciate the work that has gone into flatpak and the excellent
support for it in KDE and the KDE infrastructure for it.

I have an hard time understanding what is the best way to distribute a stable
release through flatpak.

I am not sure if the KDE flatpak repositories are supposed to also be used for
stable releases.

I have seen a few KDE applications being also hosted on flathub. Is this the
way to go ?

Best regards

Dear KDE team,

Actually, After submitting my proposal for import of educational data sets
available on the Internet project, I expected to be mailed from Mr Stefan
Gerlach with his feedback but I didn't receive anything.

I know that to select any project for this year GSoC being a Software
Engineering project and might to see my sample contributions for the
project to ensure the skills of the applicant to complete the project.
