| IrcsomeBot | <Sick_Rimmit> I'm thinking of sending appeal to kubuntu users list to ask for help with marketing and promotion any objections? | 11:23 |
|---|---|---|
| clivejo | what are you going to say? | 11:59 |
| valorie | sounds like a good idea, @sick_rimmit | 19:53 |
| IrcsomeBot | <tsimonq2> Happy Saturday valorie :) | 19:53 |
| valorie | same to you, tsimonq2 | 19:55 |
| clivejo | Qt plugin for LibreOffice? | 22:17 |
| acheronuk | yrs | 22:21 |
| acheronuk | yes | 22:21 |
| clivejo | know anything about it?> | 22:26 |
| acheronuk | just it's only an initial port. mostly unthemed. was a guy taking to JR about it in neon irc the other day, saying help was welcome | 22:36 |
| clivejo | is it separate from the main source? | 22:59 |
| acheronuk | no | 23:06 |
| acheronuk | https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/qt5 | 23:06 |
| valorie | that guy talking was afaik one of the devels from Munich | 23:06 |
| valorie | we should work with 'em more | 23:07 |
| valorie | I didn't have much to offer technically at Akademy | 23:07 |
| clivejo | need to add the plugin to our seed to use it? | 23:07 |
| acheronuk | it's not in a released libreoffice yet | 23:08 |
| clivejo | :( | 23:08 |
| acheronuk | we have the kde4 version still | 23:10 |
| acheronuk | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/libreoffice-kde | 23:10 |
| clivejo | sad | 23:10 |
| acheronuk | clivejo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25942572/ | 23:12 |
| acheronuk | looks like Win95. LOL | 23:12 |
| acheronuk | might grab a nightly build and have a look sometime | 23:20 |
| valorie | why has Ubuntu kept sending out such an old version? | 23:25 |
| valorie | I suppose because Debian does | 23:26 |
| valorie | sad indeed | 23:26 |
| acheronuk | valorie: what? ubuntu has the newest release branch of libreoffice | 23:30 |
| valorie | ah | 23:30 |
| valorie | so it isn't ported yet to Qt5/fw5? | 23:30 |
| acheronuk | the only branch that has this Qt5 VCL plugin port is upstream libreoffoce master, of what will be libreoffice 6 some time in the future | 23:31 |
| valorie | I suppose that is an enormous job | 23:31 |
| valorie | otoh, they do have professionals working on it | 23:31 |
| valorie | ok | 23:31 |
| valorie | I went to one LO talk at akademy -- they have quite a robust presence around the world | 23:32 |
| valorie | and a healthy foundation | 23:32 |
| acheronuk | yep. it will get there | 23:32 |
| acheronuk | plus if we really need to, we can use the GTK plugin with breeze-gtk | 23:33 |
| acheronuk | which in a bizarre way, actually does some stuff nicer than the old kde4 one! | 23:34 |
| acheronuk | :) https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.0 | 23:36 |
| acheronuk | so they have until Feb to get it good ;) | 23:37 |
| valorie | not quite in time for Bionic | 23:37 |
| valorie | probably | 23:37 |
| acheronuk | March 1st is our feature freeze | 23:38 |
| acheronuk | so ubuntu could get 6.0.0 in, then update to 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 by final freeze | 23:39 |
| acheronuk | *if* ubuntu wants to that is | 23:39 |
| acheronuk | who knows | 23:39 |
| valorie | release team might make the effort if prodded | 23:45 |
