Hi Thorsten! I think you managed to beat Alexandra with, like, 10 minutes. I have talked with her today and she is willing to help us. But if you want to do it, I'm certainly going to be the last one to stop you. :-) > So everybody who would like to join the sprint please go to > > http://www.doodle.com/yhzs6zpx6wfxz4wy > > and select the dates you would be able to participate. There was a suggestion floating around about doing a slightly longer sprint this time, maybe a weekend plus monday for those that could stay a day longer. Would this be a good idea? Then we could perhaps even have time for some real programming as well and maybe partly start the implementation of the ideas that come up in the meetings. > Possible topics for the sprint: I think we should set up a wiki page for this like we usually do. > - Calligra community, how to organize > - Technical discussions > - Roadmap > - Hacking Some topics from me: community: - Rules for choosing maintainers. The responsibilities and limitations of maintainers. - Written statement about our position on companies that want to integrate Calligra in their own solutions (I'm for it :-) ) technology: - The Office Engine concept I would like to reorganize the code so that it's much easier to integrate new UI's but still keep most of the common code together. This means that we should have common code even at application level in one place and the actual UI in a separate tree. At the same time I would like to make the current UI's (desktop, freoffice) more equal. I think that this concept could win us a lot of integrations if we create it and market it well. - A possible split of shapes and tools. Right now all UI's that are not docker based and/or widget based have a big problem. - A more general discussion about our desktop UI concepts. Boud mentioned that there used to be a more holistic idea about tool widgets and inspectors but that this got lost in the discussions with Thomas. Can we revisit that now, perhaps? - Possible reorganization of filters รก la a previous thread (not bound by application, but instead organized after file formats). - The creation of a filters/msolibs for common code that has to do with MS Office files. We now have */*/pole.{h,cpp}, filters/libkowmf, plugins/vectorshape/libemf, filters/libmso and filters/libooxml. I see more libraries here in the future, e.g. for Smart Art, Diagrams, etc, and I would like to organize it so that they are easier to use. > So lets get started by filling out the doodle. Hmm, why no 19-20 feb? And I think we may need more dates in march. > Have a nice day, > > Thorsten > > _______________________________________________ > calligra-devel mailing list > calligra-devel@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
