Hi Johan,

I have seen that there was progress in the bug-report in [0] after I
asked on [1] and [2].

In the qtwayland.git#dev Git branch [7] I see two relevant commits
(see [3] and [4]):

commit 5ec182df699041699f514d164a161c299fde5d19
"Client: Implement primary-selection-unstable-v1"

commit 14d37a53a674d7dbef32e718ae391e265fad5fac
"Add QWaylandXdgPopup::sendPopupDone and one for QWaylandXdgPopupV6."

What do I need to test this?

Does latest kde/neon "developer edition" latest ISO-image ship that
feature (see[8] and [9])?

What do I need to test this on Debian/buster AMD64?

In [5] and [6]

We are pleased to announce that CMake 3.14.5 is now available for download.

The Visual Studio 2019 16.1 update introduced a regression in MSBuild's
evaluation of custom command dependencies causing them to re-run on every build.
CMake 3.14.5 includes a workaround, for more details on the issue see:

Hi,

first of all, I'm feeling a little silly with my question, but here we go:

I would like to provide a KDE wide service provider for handling arbitrary
links, starting with tel:. I'm using SNOM phones, and I have created an
application (years ago), that is controlling the phone (now based on PyQt5).
That is integrating with kaddressbook and ordinary selections to dial other
parties. Dialing works by calling a script, similar to ktp-dialout-ui.

Since some time, special links like e.g. tel:+49... appear on the web, and
I've taught my browser (Firefox) to handle those as well.

Hi,

This weekend I finally managed to get around to set up a development
environment:

1. VM with neon Development/Unstable Edition
2. Followed the guide at
<a href="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development:" title="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development:">https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development:</a>
a. sudo apt install git cmake dialog
b. Configuring git
c. Setting up kdesrc-build (kdesrc-build --initial-setup)
d. Installing all non-KDE dependencies from
<a href="https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies#KDE_neon.2C_Debian.2C_Ubuntu.2C_Kubuntu" title="https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies#KDE_neon.2C_Debian.2C_Ubuntu.2C_Kubuntu">https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Instal...</a>

Greetings!

For the past weeks since my last email, I have been poking around our docs
and tools to determine areas that need the most help when it comes to
developer documentation. I've also had some very enlightening conversations
with developers and contributors about pain points and what they need for
their respective projects and areas. I'm attaching a report of the status
of our documentation as well as suggested plans moving forward.

With the latest kde-neon updates, kio-gdrive is delivering the following
error

please, someone who can guide me to solve the problem

kipi-plugins used to be released standalone but in 2015 it moved to be part
of Digikam releases. Libkipi itself is released as part of KDE
Applications.

Project Goals:
Finish implementation of mdraid and polish current support

Most of the features such scanning, creating and manipulating software raid
have been completed. My first goal would be to finish resizing of raids and
then working on udev bugs. I am currently understanding the software raid
implementation in raid-support branch and will polish the software raid
implementation.

Hi everyone, today we had a new proposal called "Improving Khipu and
Analitza." Since this was not put up as an Idea by KDE-Edu, there are not
now mentors. If this is a good student and proposal, please consider
stepping up to mentor or co-mentor. The student is Karina Pereira Passos
who has contributed before: <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/p/karinapassos/" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/p/karinapassos/">https://phabricator.kde.org/p/karinapassos/</a>.
Ideas of who else to ask are also welcome.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor please reply to me privately
telling me your google-connected email, so that I can invite you to the
webapp.

Hi everyone,

My name is Venkata Rama Koundinya Lanka. I am a final year engineering
student from India. My key skills include android development, C, C++, and
Qt. I would like to contribute to the project porting krita to android for
GSoC 2019.

Yours Sincerely,
Venkata Rama Koundinya Lanka

Thanks you

Hello everyone!

It's that docs guy again! Hope you don't mind this brief interruption of
coding activities to give our apidocs some TLC.

I recently went over the KDE Frameworks apidocs, one framework and class at
a time, to get an overview of what we're facing. And, to be honest, there's
quite a lot to be done but we can probably already start with the lowest
hanging fruit: the presentation/style.

Hello kdevelopers,

I'v come to know the lgtm.com this week and started to enjoy it quite
a bit. It provides code analisys for various languages like c/c++ /
java / javascript / python, transforming code to data and extracting
information using a QL Schema + Deep learning.

It's opensource, and *already* runs thru all the kde codebase because
our code has a mirror on github (but it also supports gitlab,
bitbucket).

Hello developers,

the Applications/19.04 branches have been created, which means the
branches are feature-frozen. Our first release for 2019 is nearing!

Please help our promotion team to write an announcement text that
summarizes all the work that went into KDE Applications since our 18.12
release.

I created <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T10636" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/T10636">https://phabricator.kde.org/T10636</a> which has a link for the
Etherpad document at <a href="https://notes.kde.org/p/applications_19.04_new_features" title="https://notes.kde.org/p/applications_19.04_new_features">https://notes.kde.org/p/applications_19.04_new_features</a>

Please fill this document in the next few days.

Make sure you commit anything you want to end up in the 19.04 release to them [***]

We're already past the dependency freeze.

The Freeze and Beta is this Thursday 21 of March.

More interesting dates
April 4: KDE Applications 19.04 RC (19.03.90) Tagging and Release

Hi,
I have a few queries from the Get Involved page (
<a href="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Build_some_software" title="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Build_some_software">https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Build_some_software</a>)
specifically from the build some software section.
Can I ask here, or could I be redirected to some kde developers/mentors by
getting their IRC nicks and I could take their help?

Howdy folks,
We have <a href="https://cgit.kde.org/ffmpegthumbs.git" title="https://cgit.kde.org/ffmpegthumbs.git">https://cgit.kde.org/ffmpegthumbs.git</a>, which is not very actively developed.

There is also this upstream project <a href="https://github.com/dirkvdb/ffmpegthumbnailer" title="https://github.com/dirkvdb/ffmpegthumbnailer">https://github.com/dirkvdb/ffmpegthumbnailer</a> which appears to be more actively developed.

It seems kind of wasteful to have two projects that do exactly the same thing, each with few resources and low levels of interest. What do folks think about approaching the maintainer of the project on GitHub and asking if they want to merge with ours? Or should we abandon ours and tell distros to package his instead?

I am proud to announce the third CMake 3.14 release candidate.
<a href="https://cmake.org/download/" title="https://cmake.org/download/">https://cmake.org/download/</a>

The first two 3.14.0 release candidates included the FindOcatave
module. This has been removed in rc3 pending further development.

We got a question today about the Ideas page -
<a href="https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2019/Ideas" title="https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2019/Ideas">https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2019/Ideas</a> - is open for more ideas. YES!

We were accepted as a GSoC org and we are open for business. Prepare to be
inundated by students wondering how to make themselves useful to you;
please make them welcome and help them find something productive to do.

If you see any way to improve our GSoC pages or other suggestions, please
pitch in! If you want to mentor and have not yet subscribed to the mentor
list, please do that now, and also ask to be invited to the webapp.

Hello KDE developers,

If anyone is interested, here is a brief report on something I have been working on in my spare time.

TLDR: Here are some scripts to build KDE frameworks and okular statically using gcc/musl and cross-building for mingw: <a href="https://github.com/jschultz/kde-static" title="https://github.com/jschultz/kde-static">https://github.com/jschultz/kde-static</a> Look in the file patch-kde.sh to see the interesting stuff.

I've been working on an application based largely on okular that I would like to be able to deploy as simply as possible for users with no technical expertise.

Hello Sysadmin,
People are having trouble authenticating to any of the documents on
