made it to oslo without trouble yesterday, modulo some lateness in the flights (surprise!). had a drink with some of the trolls, including two i hadn't met before, before heading for bed. got up this morning and came into the office at around 8:00 with zack and proceeded to catch up on email, svn up kde and build stuff. matthias kretz is also here still. he leaves this evening, but i hope to catch him for a quick podcast thing.
sat together with andreas "mr. graphics view" hanssen and went through the list of bugs we've uncovered while working on plasma. one (the rubber band redrawing after context menu show) was already fixed in 4.3.1. he's now working on the other two now that he has test cases for them. hopefully they'll get fixed in short order. he also tipped me off to a possible solution for a problem we've run into with zooming: when zoomed out past a certain point we want to paint an iconified version of the item rather than a scaled version of the interface; the idea is that setting ignore transformations on the items when that threshold is passed should fix that nicely. i'll know for sure by later today =)
other meetings are lined up and i'm gathering content for a kde4 update to present later on to the devel team here.
so .. not bad for only being 11:00am.

yes, do the podcast thing!
And while you are at it, will you post it on kde radio?
:D
Sorry for posting this again, just making sure you see it!
I was wondering if the groups are somehow integrated with nepomuk, allowing for example to organize groups by ratings or other metadata. This would be a real natural way to organize the data since a group's properties probably relates to that of the files stored within.
An example: if you organize a couple of work files, documents etc. in a group, the files within would all be tagged with the name of the group.
The other way around, you could choose to group all the files on the desktop that contains a specific tag. This would be a very powerful tool for accessing data and make use of nepomuk.

about those plasmoids. Something I'm missing from all widget on other systems, is the possibility to add a short cut to a widget/gadget/plasmoid? So everything sits in the background, and when you want one poped-up, you can press a key/combination you just assigned to that plasmoid?
nepomuk/strigi integration: certainly for 4.1, for 4.0 only if i find the time or someone pops up with an appropriate set of patches. in any case, things in plasma aren't ready for such integration quite yet.
keyboard shortcuts: harder than it seems since global shortcuts are in short demand. rather than shortcuts, i'm thinking about offering a runner in krunner that lets you jump around between things on the desktiop
Wouldn't it be rather easy to implement nepomuk support through refactoring of the code from klistview, used in dolphin? Or is the code too dependant on dolphin?
it's not about writing to nepomuk being hard, it's that the data structures in plasma aren't ready for it. for example, we don't have a (meaningful) applet grouping system as we eventually will have that we can use to hook into nepomuk/strigi.
