Hi all,

When people change a setting in KDE they 1st hit the apply button.

KNotify use in Plasmoid code freezes KDE

Hi,

we have been developing a small desktop toy as a plasmoid for the last
few days and now tried to add notifications for events.

We already limited the botification number to one event per minute,
however, the code still freezes KDE.

The moment a notification is emitted, the notification sound is played
and then KDE becomes unresponsive until the closing of the plasmoid is
registered.

CMake 2.8.11-rc4 ready for testing!

The CMake 2.8.11 release candidate continues. This is the last RC

GSoC project idea: Unlocking KWallet using PAM (I'm student)

Hello.

I think that fixing this bug: <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92845" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92845">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92845</a> could
be a good GSoC project.

It seems that KWallet can't be started from pam module (like gnome-keyring
do), but some "unlock helper" can be started with pam_exec.so. Password (or
hash) then can be passed to kwallet using local sockets.

GSoC Idea: On the fly syntax checking for kate and kdevelop

Hello KDE-community,

As I am currently working on a project which includes GCode parsing I
found out that my QEarleyParser which I implemented for my calculator
PhyxCalc works very well for syntax checking. So it came to my mind that on
the fly syntax checking would be a very nice feature for both kate and
kdevelop. I know it is a bit late for GSoC applications but wouldn't that be
great idea?

Re: [GSoC2013] KDE developers, what statistics would you like to see in the KDE Project Report?

Hi Aleix,

Thank you for pointing that out. I totally agree with you that it's important to keep the developers updated with the latest commits, activities, etc.

I've already included the a "Recently Updated Projects" section in the demo (<a href="http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com/" title="http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com/">http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com/</a>), and I'm planning to implement a subscription feature as well.

kdelibs coding style

Hi,

In the last PIM meeting in Berlin, we decided to give up on our beloved KDEPIM
coding style.

We figured out that it's more important to have a consistent style across KDE
and Qt than to have the periodical discussions about identation and braces.

The thing is, I just discovered that the kdelibs style[1] has a little
difference from Qt, it uses braces for one-line if statements.

This seems to be a documentation/policy only rule, as the kdelibs code is full
of if's without braces.

KDE developers, what statistics would you like to see in the KDE Project Report?

Hi KDE developers,

I am a prospective GSoC student who is interested in building the KDE Project Report web application. I've already submitted my application and I would really appreciate feedback, suggestion or anything from mentors who have access to the GSoC's proposals.

In the past few days, I've quickly wrapped up a demo web app at <a href="http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com" title="http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com">http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com</a> (<a href="http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com/" title="http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com/">http://demo-kdepr.rhcloud.com/</a>).

Using KDE services in QML

Hello,

I'm writing an application where the main window contains a QML widget. I'd
like to be able to access certain features of KDE from QML, mainly i18n and

I came across a mention of KDeclarative in the localization tutorial, but the
description (under Ubuntu 13.04) for libkdeclarative5 says: "This package
contains experimental software and should not be used in production
environment"

In the Plasma tutorial [1], there is mention of extensions that let me using

KDE Games, GSoC and my proposal.

Hello friends.

For those of you who still don't know me, I'm Roney, the current
maintainer of KBounce and KNavalbattle.

I have been part of the KDE Games group since last year when my
proposal for "Porting Games to a More Modern Graphics Framework" was
accepted and I had the luck to be mentored by Ian Wadham -- who taught
me things that go beyond the scope of programming, making the whole
GSoC experience a true life achievement.

Unluckily though, I couldn't dedicate myself as much as I would like
in the last months for I was involved in a very extense -- seven
months -- hiring process that

OSSD Motivations

*

Hi

Don't know if this is a bit off topic (and if such is the case I am real
sorry), but I am in real need of you. Thing is, I am a frequent user of
open source software, and I am often amazed by the efforts people make in
order to provide me with products and services for free. I am now
conducting research for a masters' thesis trying to find out what motivates
developers to participate in open source projects.

GSoC request for assignments

Hello,

I am Ahmed AbouElhamayed. I am interested in applying for GSoC under KDE. I
liked the idea of the project "Simple project report". I have experience
with Ruby On Rails and the MVC architecture.
I was trying to find some bug list or feature list of some KDE project
written in Ruby in order to contribute before making my proposal.
Unfortunately, there seems to be none. projects.kde.org and
conf.kde.orgseem not to be listed at
bugs.kde.org
I would like to know if there is anything I can do to contribute before
making my proposal?

Idea for GSOC, seeking some input

Hey All:

I just had an idea for a GSOC project today that might interest you.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a visualization plasmoid for the data
relationships that exist in Nepomuk. I was thinking a 3D graph
visualization, maybe even making nodes clickable such that data can be
navigated in a incredible new way. Nepomuk offers power that no desktop
really has, and I think a cool new way to use that power could be a great
addition to KDE.

Hey ,

I am Kushal Khandelwal and I would like to apply for GSOC under KDE.
I am interested in the idea " Simple Project Report " .
From what I get from the description is that the aim is to get a single
window to all the details of the project fetched from various sources along
with some statistics.

I have experience in web development using HTML/CSS PHP javascript ,
Django. I have also worked on Ruby. I have been working towards Data Mining
and Visualization.

I would like to know more about this project and possible suggestions.

on KDE Community page.

I am interested in following project:

*Integrate Android with workspace*: I am proficient in Java but I don't
have much experience with C++ or Qt. I have developed an Android app for my
college. But I can assure you that I can learn C++ and Qt in due time.
Apart from that, I have great interest in android and programming. I am
proficient in PHP, Java, C and jQuery.

Basic queries regarding GSOC project idea : Web based project report

Hello,
I wanted to inquire about the project idea for summer of code - Web based
project report that aims to aggregate information from a multitude of
sources (mentioned ones are - Git, Bugzilla and mailing lists) into a
unified web-interface along with useful statistics.

The project objective that I interpret from the description is to have a
web-interface that can provide a quick overview of the activity and current
status of an open source project.

Re: Saying Hello

I know about the other integration utilities out there that exist, but my
idea was doing integration directly into the plasma desktop. For
example, notification would show up in the notifications area, and
battery information could be seen from the device manager.

Saying Hello

Hello everyone:

I am planning on applying for GSOC to do some work on KDE. I've always
been around the KDE development community but haven't had much time to code
in the past due to life engagements. I've had a developer account sitting
around for a couple of years that I just recently logged in to, but I do
have code that is part of ownCloud and have some some little hacks on
Rekonq that never got to commit stage. Hopefully GSOC can help me get back
involved in KDE development.

I was thinking of taking on the task of integrating Android into the
desktop.

Problem installing kdelibs

Hey everyone,

I am trying to install kdelibs[1] on Ubuntu 12.10 but it so happens that
every time i give the cmake command i get an error of some dependency not
found and this has been happening for quite some time now. I have also
tried to install the missing dependencies manually but it is taking time. I
don't want to waste too much of my time installing kdelibs. I want to start
working on it right away.

Suggestion for GSoC

Hello,

In January I asked about missing search functionality of KHelpCenter
(<a href="http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-i18n-doc&amp;m=135905850225037&amp;w=2" title="http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-i18n-doc&amp;m=135905850225037&amp;w=2">http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-i18n-doc&amp;m=135905850225037&amp;w=2</a>).

Can it be considered as a project for GSoC? Does someone want to mentor this?

KRunner Translator

Hello everybody,

because I'm new to this mailing list I want to introduce myself. I'm a 24
years old student from Germany, interested in C++, software tests and
generative programming. I'm using KDE since several years and now I'm trying
to start developing and contributing to KDE.

That's why I'm writing this mail. I wrote a new runner that uses Google
Translate to translate sentences or words into any language.

Nepomuk/Akonadi progress

Tentatively ... looking pretty damn good at the moment. I actually have a
desktop that is living up to all that hope and promise from years ago :)

- Desktop search. Working, quick reliable searches on filename, tags, ratings,
type and content, via krunner or dolphin. Email searching is integrated in
krunner as well.

- Email searching. Working pretty well - full text searching is fast and
reliable.

- IMAP. Disconnected and Online IMAP has been very stable and reliable for
some time for me (Google Account and 3rd party IMAP account). I have approx
83,000 msgs.

- Calendar Sync.

Additional Dependencies and Linking Libraries

A question to release experts,

The general case is: Assume I have package A which depends on package
B and package B provides libraries B1 and B2. If A is currently using
B1 and I add also linking to B2, is that considered an additional
dependency? Is that permitted between two minor releases?

The particular case is: I'm working on Nepomuk integration in KGet and
got to a point where I want to link it to the Nepomuk Query Libraries
and that would be for 4.10.2, is that possible?

Thanks.

kcm source files layout

Hi

What is the best practice for files placement in kcm?
For example, my_kcm layout as follows:

my_kcm/
CMakeList.txt
cmake/
src/
my_kcm.action
my_kcm.desktop

Is above layout ok?
or should i move my_kcm action and desktop to src too?
or i should not use src (all flat)?

Thanks,

Hi,

the MTP Kio-Slave is finally quite stable and I also just fixed the last bug

So how do I proceed? Do I need to file a request somewhere? Hints highly
appreciated, as is additional testing.
