# Plasma 6.1 kickoff meeting notes ## 6.0 retrospective
Generally well received# Plasma 6.1 kickoff meeting notes ## 6.0 retrospective Generally well received Problems: - Neon's rollout was/still is bumpy. Needs retrospective from Neon developers on what happend - Nvidia: - Missing configuration to enable modesetting (downstream issue) - Missing implicit sync makes XWayland glitchy (upstream issue). Potentially backportable patches exist - Resume from suspend broken. Some kernel-level thing exists (NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations), needs research/documentation ## 6.1 release planning Idea: Keep the megarelese? No strong benefit, unless there was a unified LTS release Goals for the release planning: - Keep time to next feature release short to allow for gaps in (Wayland) feature set to close quickly - Align with fall/October releases of distros - More extensive beta releases Tentative idea: - 6.1 in June - Two Betas - Slightly extend support window for the release to avoid gap between 6.1 ending and distros picking up 6.2 - Needs coordination with distros before finalizing Dependencies (business as usual): - Qt 6.7 - Frameworks as of Beta date Feature/work item ideas: - David R: Emulated Input integration - Marco: Work on tiling features, folderview refactoring - Nico: Wayland a11y and graphics tablet work, QML tooling - Kai: New Fonts KCM/tools - Vlad: Work on Rendering in KWin - Jakob: Mouse gestures, per-monitor brightness - Niccolo: Floating dialogs, icons, 2D gestures # Sprint We want a sprint sometime soon. There's a megasprint planned for April, avoid doing something too close to it to avoid travel overload. Summer might be a better time.
