Hi,

I am a student participating in the Google Code In Challenge. As a part of
my task, I am to introduce my interests to the mailing list. I have been
interested in computer science and business for the past five years and
mainly develop in Java, Swift, and Python. I first started to develop
mobile apps as a fun way to pass time. Over the years, my interest in
computer science has significantly grown and I have found more practical
uses for coding. Using my skills, I have founded a $3 million startup and
have won notable accelerator programs around the world.

To whom it may concern,

Hello, I am a student new to KDE community. I want to get involved with KDE
development to hone my programming skills and make contribution to KDE. But
I don't know what work I can do and where do I start. Could anyone give me
some guidance? It would be better if we can discuss directly. Thank you all!

I am proud to announce the second CMake 3.13 release candidate.
<a href="https://cmake.org/download/" title="https://cmake.org/download/">https://cmake.org/download/</a>

The first 3.13.0 release candidates included a change to allow
generator expressions in "install(CODE)" and "install(SCRIPT)".
This has been reverted in rc2 due to breaking backwards
compatibility.

Greetings all,

I am Patrick, and I wish to contribute to the KDE project. Before going much further, allow me to give some background information.

I am currently a college student, and I've been programming for about four years now. Most of my experience is in C++ using the Qt framework. In fact many of my projects are on Github, and can be found here: <a href="https://github.com/patrickf2000?tab=repositories" title="https://github.com/patrickf2000?tab=repositories">https://github.com/patrickf2000?tab=repositories</a>.

I am a longtime Linux user, and I've been using KDE for about two years now. I recently started hacking around some of the code in the projects.

I am proud to announce the first CMake 3.13 release candidate.

Hi,

I recently took up a bug related to the "user-manager" program. After
following the steps in the getting started guide, I was able to
successfully compile and install the program. Running it was a different
story, I hit a segmentation-fault error when trying to run the program
through the konsole. After setting up QtCreator and trying to guess at the
executable path, it tells me that the program quit unexpectedly. I'm trying
to find a way around this so that I can resolve the bug. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Hello fellows.

In kde software we strive to be inclusive, that means that we don't enforce
a coding style in every new project, nor do we adapt to newer styles on old
software.

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

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.)

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?

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...

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.
