 I'm thinking of sending appeal to kubuntu users list to ask for help with marketing and promotion any objections?
[11:59] <clivejo> what are you going to say?
[19:53] <valorie> sounds like a good idea, @sick_rimmit
 Happy Saturday valorie :)
[19:55] <valorie> same to you, tsimonq2
[22:17] <clivejo> Qt plugin for LibreOffice?
[22:21] <acheronuk> yrs
[22:21] <acheronuk> yes
[22:26] <clivejo> know anything about it?>
[22:36] <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
[22:59] <clivejo> is it separate from the main source?
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <acheronuk> it's not in a released libreoffice yet
[23:08] <clivejo> :(
[23:10] <acheronuk> we have the kde4 version still
[23:10] <acheronuk> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/libreoffice-kde
[23:10] <clivejo> sad
[23:12] <acheronuk> clivejo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25942572/
[23:12] <acheronuk> looks like Win95. LOL
[23:20] <acheronuk> might grab a nightly build and have a look sometime
[23:25] <valorie> why has Ubuntu kept sending out such an old version?
[23:26] <valorie> I suppose because Debian does
[23:26] <valorie> sad indeed
[23:30] <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?
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <acheronuk> plus if we really need to, we can use the GTK plugin with breeze-gtk
[23:34] <acheronuk> which in a bizarre way, actually does some stuff nicer than the old kde4 one!
[23:36] <acheronuk> :) https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.0
[23:37] <acheronuk> so they have until Feb to get it good ;)
[23:37] <valorie> not quite in time for Bionic
[23:37] <valorie> probably
[23:38] <acheronuk> March 1st is our feature freeze
[23:39] <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
[23:45] <valorie> release team might make the effort if prodded
