Last month KDE Akademy was held in Vienna. It was the first Akademy I visited and there wasn't yet time to write a bit about the impression I got from it. Time to catch up on that.
Since the Plasma 5.13 beta is now less than one month away it is time for a status report on what has been achieved and what we still plan to work on.
A recap of what happened in the last few months and what are my plans for the future.
In this last week of my GSoC project I aimed at bringing my code into its final form. The goals for that are simple.
We count the last days of 2016 so it's time for a little recap...
One more time I decided to start from the beginning and try another even more radical approach to my Xwayland GSoC project than the last time. I have now basically written a full API inside the Present extension, with which modes of presentation can be added.
I reworked this week huge parts of my code and I have a feeling that I'm on the right track. I wrote a second mail to the xorg-devel mailing list and the feedback I got back was also way more positive than on the first try.
After receiving negative feedback in regards to my code I decided to start over. Read here to learn more.
This is just a small update on what I am currently working on for my Google Summer of Code project. More content will come in the following weeks
I provided in the past few weeks some general information about my project and hopefully helpful documentation for the multiple components I'm working with, but I have not yet talked about the work I'm doing on the code itself. Let's change this today.
