Working on KDevelop and KDE on Windows in Randa

Fundraising banner

Right now, around 40 developers are working together on bringing KDE to other platforms in Randa (Switzerland) for an entire week.

I just arrived Sunday evening, and we immediately started with discussions around KDE on different platforms. Not much coding has happened yesterday evening yet, but I at least managed to work-around a compiler bug of GCC 4.8 showing up in the KDevelop code base.

My plans for this week are as follows:

  • Preparing the KDevelop 5.0 release (fixing release blockers)
  • Introduce the Windows CI for KDE (means: adding a Jenkins Windows slave to build.kde.org, making it produce useful results)
  • Generally be a source of help for people trying to port their application to Windows
  • Plus upstreaming patches I've been too lazy to fix up and push yet (hint: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124905/, etc.)

If you'd like to see what all the KDE people are working on, here's a work log of all participants of the sprint:

Thanks!
