Proceedings
Kubuntu Natty Coding
Packaging - KCM ? - UI weirdness/bling - stay with kpackage kit and improve/tweak it - possibly evaluate muon muon on the dvd set $LANG in ~/.kde/env/ script based on KDE language merge language selector features in KCM Installer: * ensure wifi setup can be done from the installer (non live session) - or any custom network setup ensure jockey -a gets run for the live session from ubiquity as well as target install Samba sharing: * Make it work, ffs!!1!11!! * add to kde feature plan? * get into KDE SC 4.6 (MUST HAVE) * get dfaure to review Printer tools: * dantii Polish Polish Polish :) Load KDED Services later on after plasma-desktop/netbook KWallet papercut: * Look in to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92845 for single-sign-on for less annoyingness? qtwebkit will be using qtmultimediakit which uses gstreamer test and consider if we should use gstreamer phonon backend. consult sandsmark and markey and others. would be nice to prevent having two multimedia libraries on the CD and in memory. watch to make sure gstreamer doesn't bring in lots of gnomey libraries *Alternate plan; bring torches to Brisbane :P package owncloud discuss with kali and other upstream if it should be in release or PPA, depends on maturity consider kde-config-touchpad, if suitable replace with kde-config-synamtics * kde-config-touchpad is abandoned upstream * -synaptics has more features/is more reliable. * Lazy jontheechidna hasn't found time to package :P plasma-media-centre, check if mature enough to package investigate if suitable for use within mythbuntu, or if mythtv should be integrated with plasma-media-centre investiage setting grab server to through in kdmrc
Kubuntu Natty Mobile
* KDM replacement? - NODM * ARM testing - make sure that configurations match the targets * mobile PIM - will be packaged - separate package to normal KDE-PIM * kwin, will be separate git branch from normal kwin. not ready in time for 4.6. might be a version which could be shipped in natty * ksmserver - splitting out into separate package? kdebase-workspace-bin has lots of bits in it, scope to split out those needed by mobile * image size - work out what can be moved from kubuntu-common to desktop to get it out of mobile - work out what can be ignored from desktop-common (i.e. depend on standard and bring in only those bits necesssary from desktop-common) * udev rules, add for N900 to kubuntu-mobile-default-settings * kernel - * documentation - needs wiki docs on how to get it installed onto N900, using meego kernel, flashing etc * graphics - needs OpenGL-ES drivers from vendor. licence problems - work with vendors on getting hardware drivers * get latest plasma mobile packaged * on screen keyboard
Ubuntu One and KDE
Proposed directions: * announce apis on a mailing list, and discuss the api changes there * provide a deprecation path for apis Refactor gnome-keyring out of ubuntu-sso-client so we can implement KWallet support in Ubuntu One to get working KDE support. ubuntu sso API from 10.10 is deprecated but will not break during natty. also new APIs will appear by January ubuntu sso package should be split into GUI and non-GUI parts similarly for password keyring/wallet Here's my (somewhat outdated) post about my experience of installing ubuntuone-kde: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522137
