Hey sorry folks, I wasn't able to make it because I'm in California this week and that resulted in it being too early for me. > ## 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.

This lines up with Fedora, Kubuntu, and openSUSE cutoffs in their release schedules. (And while I think we shouldn't do Plasma LTS releases, since we are, I think those should be done in the "spring" Plasma releases to align with Kubuntu LTS and openSUSE Leap schedules.) > 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 > This is all very exciting stuff! I think Xaver mentioned that he's looking at getting the xdg-color-management protocol implemented, and David E had talked to me about session management stuff.
