EDIT:
I reread your comment, I guess I misunderstood your aim. You're actually creating a Breeze CSS right?

This is the absolute bikeshedding, everyone having to follow a huge thread about communication instead of actually planning and doing the video.
I understand that you prefer conpherence, but everyone else doesn't. it's not worth switching everyone over. and takes 3mins to sing up to Matrix for a new contributor. So, please, either create a new task to discuss switching everyone to conpherence or join matrix and stop bikeshedding.
Actually this is not the right place to discuss this over and over again at all. I dont want to change your habits just right now. My aim is to explore the limits of the platform directly available (phabricator) before switching into the next infrastructural thingy.
just in case, here's another great way to find noteworthy features in plasma source: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&label_name[]=Noteworthy&label_name[]=Feature
@bcooksley @lydia
I added a "Confidential Showreel" home theatre room. Members of the project "KDE Promo: Confidential" and regular participants are able to see its content. https://phabricator.kde.org/Z36
Furthermore I think the tasks related to "promo video" should become a sub-project of "KDE Promo" named "Videos". Producing HQ videos is not a single task anyway. Additionally it enables me to grant members of "KDE Promo/Videos" access to the Confidential Showreel Room. Such simple refactoring could make projects like "KDE Promo: Confidential" obsolete.
I experience project-related communication via Matrix inconsistent regarding Onboarding and Access Management. Matrix/irc have their unquestionable benefits for sure, but kde is complex enough.

great!
perfect.

the matrix room obviously demands invitation. I invited you to phabricator room some month ago, you left the room, so you cannot see the link anymore. The link shows a quick glass-pane-gui concept in blender with trashy 80s synth music, the blender scene is already shared.
NeoChat crashes regularly and throws server errors about exceeded user limits, as already mentioned above. I'll investigate in that as soon as I have more time.

true. sometimes I practice at home or in the bikeshed. do you have a room to post the results to?
Hi @acrouthamel ! Do you have any further information about the kwin functionality? was it in any way used? Or is anybody working on this?
unfortunately it shall not be right now. first neochat crashed. now it says: Login Failed: Monthly Active User Limit Exceeded.

Regarding this feature wish https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444676
Do you think it is technically "complex" to implement to have wallpaper derived colors as accent color? So that accent colors will change by Activity?
I wrote "complex" because the term has fallen several times here:

We had this problem for the last Gear video: too much bikeshedding not enough video making. It is time to show samples of what you mean in the promovideo room

@aronkvh I really like your storyboard! I would suggest to re-order the plot a bit, so that it is like:
> basic features
> advanced features
> real life org use cases
> thanks for all your contribution

no I don't. I think my account is not trusted yet. Which is basically great, but not in this case.
I guess it does, we just didnt know it yet. I just read about it coincidentally.
@aronkvh @paulb the mythological figure of the dragon (especially in china) symbolizes the hardly predictable forces of natural phenomena in many cultures. Today we call it Tensors, with which we try to simulate complex systems. The background design reminds me of this approach describing reality as multilinear geometry (geological, metereological models etc). It's about "taming the dragon"
omg redhat infiltrated. The Gnome 40 spot demonstrates what KDE already is since 2017. Also the Windows 12 spot mentioned above shows what KDE actually is as one makes use of its features.
the clapping-hands-music suggests a mood of optimism for new unknow territory, like saying: "hey folks, we managed to imitate KDE."
Even MS developers use KDE to get inspired once in a while.

@paulb @VicFic18 @NayamAmarshe hi folks!
just got positive response from Theo who produces the Synthwave/Synthpop projects I mentioned above (Hills And Valleys; Above The Sky)! He says that his studio is currently under development and not effectively usable, but he basically likes to contribute to interesting projects, and so he asks if there is a deadline - if there is interest from the community he can compose and produce a kde-track. But he also offered to contribute a track from "Hills and Valleys"-Project depending on the deadline.
What do you think about the sound?

I asked the mind behind "Above The Sky" and "Hills And Valleys" -- an IMHO talented artist from Germany -- if he has interest/ideas in contributing a voluntary propasal, so I linked him to this discussion page. Hopefully he has muse and time. I first encountered his sound on SomaFM/Defcon radio. I think his Synthpop/Synthwave sound is pretty catchy and nostalgic with kind of kraftwerk'esque bikeride-drive and also strong positive synthie-mood. And as KDE is a pretty old dinosaur :-) synthwave can maybe catch the spirit. Currently I am voluntary working on several music videos for "Above The Sky" produced with KDE+Kdenlive

I will contribute a tiny clip to testify a difference between KDE and Windows. Two stones with one bird.

@bcooksley awesome thanks! its a bit frightening though. Yes great idea to clean it up a bit (reduce depth)! Now its showtime for StrozziNoSQL & Starbase :-D
hi @bcooksley,
can you help me out with invent.kde.org? I am not allowed to create a '.gitmodules' file in my repository.
is my script contribution for the lists in the right place?
I'd compose a crisp short of KDE users' favorite custom workflows they invented to solve concrete problems with the customizability of KDE UI. Preferably workflows that save time or help staying organized (thats what I always miss if I HAVE TO do wage labor on Windows).
Sep 2 2021
@bcooksley oh havent you seen my merge request? its in the /bin directory.
@bcooksley Ok I added a helper script to download.kde.org. it has some options to define a target directory.
@lydia thanks! I'll have a look into internet archive, but I am afraid they don't index compressed file archive content. But for further research its great! they have kde-files.org back to 2005 and kde-apps to 2004, kde.org even back to 1998 in the wayback machine. So reconstructing the kde evolution will surely need manual investigation beyond the source code history I guess.

currently looking up the historical sound effects on repositories and attic but its very hard to do it remotely. First tried: https://download.kde.org/Attic/2.2.2/src/kdemultimedia-2.2.2.tar.bz2
unpack, no *.ogg files there, hm.
Hi!
I currently prepare a Linux-Sampler and collecting KDE Sounds of older Versions to use it as Instrument with MIDI Files (eg Happy Birthday Song), but I am just at the beginning yet. I'll hopefully come up with a minimal prototype this week.
