plasma panel meeting
ruphy hosted the collaborative notes session (hopefully he posts those notes later today somewhere =); there were over a dozen people in attendance; i think we managed to enumerate all the big issues to deal with along with the 'how's for the most imminent ones. so, i'm satisfied with that, i suppose.

hi aaron.
i would like to congratulate you and the other plasma devs to what you accomplished with plasma.
I'm compiling kde4 every week or so for almost half an year now and its astonishing what you have created.
Don't let you get down by some comments made over the last two weeks. The vision is there, the code is coming together, i really like what I'm seeing! :-)
So, keep your spirit up, believe in you, believe in the community (whose voice is sometimes hidden behind a vocal and annoying minority) and rock on!
all the best.
Bummer, my computer was at service for annual de-dusting... looking forward to see the notes from the meeting. Cheers!
It's great to see that the panel will be worked on now. Maybe people will stop whining about them :P (Well, we can at least hope)
I wanted to spectate the meeting but since I don't know enough programming to really help, I'd rather at least not be in the way.
Good luck with the new stuff, we know it'll be great!
make it like pinheiro's mock and i'll be the first guy to use kde 4.0
To the anonymous writer above this:
You mean the black one with the transparent top? It does indeed look pretty.
@javier: yeah... this are my favorite mocks :)

It wont be like pinheiros mocks, it was decided in the latest meeting wonce and for all.
that sucks
im disappointed
:(
I would like to know where we can find the notes of the meeting. I could neither find them on techbase nor at ruphy's blog.
yeah im interested in that as well
damn, the plasma-panel mock up that pinheiro made was awesome, is a shame that kde developers don't want to implement that
jesus frigging christ people. one anonymous person steps up and says something and you're all, "omg!"
what we won't be doing is making the default panel centered on the bottom of the screen. *that* is what was decided "wonce [sic] and for all".
as for what it will *look* like it was specifically stated that we will deal with that next and that no decisions (or anti-decisions) were to be made until we had the multiple-panel support in.
That's a really good idea. Functionality should always come before appearance, after all if it looked gorgeous it wouldn't make up for a uselessness issue.
Also, I did see something that gets to me, and it's that the icons in panels seem to have no padding whatsoever, and I was wondering if that'll stay that way or it'll maybe be customizable? I have a bit of OCD and it gets to me when I see an icon touching the border of the panel >_<
good to hear that and sorry for the over-reacting
I have OCD too.
Please just make sure the final panel is just as cool as pinheiro's mock.
Why i'm saying this: You often get showed really cool and exciting things like new car prototypes for example, and when it finally arrives in the market, it's much more average, streamlined and boring and much less avantgarde. Probably the marketing department made the designers chicken out, anyway the really cool stuff does seldom survive.
I really really hope that KDE won't do that.
Yeah, the panel is one of the most exciting things, make sure it's great.
