GSoC 2012 is on! important next steps

Heya folks :)

Google Summer of Code 2012 is a go. KDE will apply again as a mentoring org.
The next steps for mentors are to fill the ideas page and ideally give
info sessions at local universities. Former GSoC students are
especially encouraged to mentor this year. We will try to give this
round a focus on accessibility. Please add ideas soon as students are
starting to look for orgs/ideas.
If you're a student who intends to apply start preparing now.
More infos and links in my blog:
http://blog.lydiapintscher.de/2012/02/07/gsoc-2012-is-on/

Let's get this rolling ;-)

Cheers
Lydia

ToolTip for a PopupApplet with QML

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a PopupApplet plasmoid using QML, but I don't know how 
to define a tooltip for the icon. My problem is that I don't know what should 
specify for PlasmaCore.ToolTip.target.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Regards,
Dimitar

Request for moving a project to playground: what's the reviewboard address for?

Hi,

as I am getting the MTP Kio-Slave ready for a first release (ugly and slow as 
well as without most progress indicators or much effort on correct error 
reporting and stuff but hopfully fully functional) I am wondering what the 
reviewboard address is used for and what address I should enter.

I presume that reviewboard requests are sent to it, so big projects would 
probably use a mailinglist. So is it wise to use ones own email or is a 
seperate one smarter?

Regards
Philipp Schmidt

Subject: GSOC Mentor
To: kde-soc <at> kde.org

Eike Hein has been mentoring me through the process of becoming a KDE
developer, and I'm working on a project dubbed Qanda which adds
natural language processing to krunner. I'm in need of someone
reviewing my proposal and a willing mentor for this year's GSOC.

Any takers?

function of setButtons( Close ) of class KDialog

Hi,
I was going through the source code of Kmplot .  And at a place I got stuck with it when i found that in a class inherited from KDialog, a function setButtons( Close ) was used.
I understand that it creates a close button in the window but I was willing to know that when the button is clicked, does it call close() slot (as normally we would do when we create a close pushbutton we connect the clicked() signal to the close() slot) or it just simply emits close event signal. And one more query, what is the name of the button, simpy close or something else ( as in QPushButton* closeButton, I can say that I created a PushButton named closeButton ).

Thanks.

Developing without creating a dedicated developer user account

Hello.

So, so far, I compiled KDE from the sources in a separated user
account dedicated for KDE development, following that Techbase
tutorial.

But, as this has led to many inconvenients, I'd like to know how (or
if) I can use my own user account for KDE development, especially for
plasmoid, dataengine development and/or frameworks development. How
can I configure KDevelop, environment stuff and so on.

To run applications, I _think_ something like
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/local/kde/installation app" should do the job,
although I'm not sure if this is enough and I can't test anything
*right now*.

Thanks in advance.

[ANN] ODB C++ ORM 1.8.0 released, adds support for SQL Server

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of ODB 1.8.0.

ODB is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It
allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having
to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of
the mapping code.

Major new features in this release:

  * Support for the Microsoft SQL Server database, including updates to
    the Boost and Qt profiles, on both Windows and GNU/Linux.

  * Support for database schemas (database namespaces).

  * Ability to define composite value types as C++ class template
    instantiations.

A more detailed discussion of these features can be found in the
following blog post:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/blog/2012/01/31/odb-1-8-0-released/

For the complete list of new features in this version see the official
release announcement:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/pipermail/odb-announcements/2012/000012.html

ODB is written in portable C++ and you should be able to use it with any
modern C++ compiler. In particular, we have tested this release on GNU/Linux
(x86/x86-64), Windows (x86/x86-64), Mac OS X, and Solaris (x86/x86-64/SPARC)
with GNU g++ 4.2.x-4.6.x, MS Visual C++ 2008 and 2010, and Sun Studio 12.

The currently supported database systems are MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, and SQL Server. ODB also provides profiles for Boost and Qt, which
allow you to seamlessly use value types, containers, and smart pointers
from these libraries in your persistent classes.

More information, documentation, source code, and pre-compiled binaries are
available from:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/

Enjoy,
	Boris

Python bindings for Marble

Hi, the there is now a marble object in the PyKDE4 module thanks to
the efforts of Simon Edwards. You have to compile marble with the
-DEXPERIMENTAL_PYTHON_BINDINGS=TRUE flag to get it, however, I'm not
having any luck getting it to work as described here:
http://python.6.n6.nabble.com/Importing-marble-fails-td4345372.html

Earlier today I spoke with Dennis Nienhüser in #marble, and he
compiled with this flag and was also presented with an import error.
Anyone have some ideas on what might be wrong?

making commit digest stats more accurate and up-to-date

Heya folks :)

The commit digest features some really nice statistics that are
important for us like age and geographic distribution. I am however
not sure how many of our committers actually filled it out and for how
many of you it's completely outdated.
It'd be awesome if you could take 2 minutes and update your stats at
https://commit-digest.org/data/

Cheers
Lydia
