Another day of Tokamak, another day of endless work, great fun and massive amounts of progress. While a few more leave us today, we had another of the KDE artists join us and we continue to rock the OpenSuse meeting room spaces.
The presentations last night (which were recorded) went very well with a dozen or so locals showing up to join us for the fun. The recordings will be uploaded at some point (I'll provide links when they are) and OpenSuse provided post-presentation beer, soft drinks and water. As fun as that part was, it was really cool to have a line up of a laptop, a netbook, a tablet and a smart phone all running Plasma workspaces during the presentations.
Plasma stuff was also running on both a Linux and a Windows7 computer. They are now in the coffee area outside the main Tokamak room. Each one sports a 28 inch touch screen panels with the computer bits built right into them. Pretty fun kit to use and shows both the promise and limitations of touch screens for desktops.
Today Tokamakers have been flying in all directions getting probably more done than we've ever achieved at Tokamak. There was a great meeting about animation extensibility (including the ability to change them, ala SVG themes, at runtime), a conference call with the company behind gitorious.org get the next steps in the git migration process sorted, huge strides forward on the mobilizing of kdelibs, the first runs of the Plasma Mobile proof of concept using QML and Plasma together on the N900, more bugs fixed in netbook as well as Javascript, the start of work on the new activities switcher, integration of context with Nepomuk and much more.
I also had a meeting with some of the folks who are working on Suse Studio and the Suse build service and had a fun idea that will be turned into a project. I'll blog more about it at week's end as there is some set-up to do for it, but I think it could be really quite cool. More about that later, though ...
Right now I have to get back to fixes and improvements to the Javascript Plasmoid engine and push out another errata release before we head out for dinner at an organic vegetarian restaurant. :)

You don't sleep. Ever.
1. It's cool to see Plasma rocking on devices from laptop to smaller. However, what's the news for larger form factors such as the 10ft display stuff mentioned in the past?
2. Re. Git. I assume there'll be an update sent to kde-scm-interest@k.o with the (good) news?
3. Excited about Suse/KDE collaboration, especially the OBS stuff :)
Thank you very much Aaron!
On a side note, Please improve the Desktop shell... Make it less cluttered and simple.. The panel is a mess...
Lots of very cool and interesting stuff going on on tomahark.
When will a proof of concept for the N900 will be realased?
I hope it doesn't need more battery power than the default ui.
Have fun!
