Working on KDevelop and KDE on Windows in Randa

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!
