I'd like to investigate the feasibility of a audio/video chat solution to have a more "sprint-like" experience

A more VR like online sprint could be done with https://hubs.mozilla.com

Can we define week a bit more closely or have some fixed dates? I'll at home and have some free days either next week or the week after that I can shuffle around

https://meet.jit.si/ is open source, mostly decentralized and works for smallish groups

So, Based on some more discussion in the Matrix channel, we decided on doing this on Thu-Sat.

We don't have a concrete timeline of when we are doing what, but we will decide on it in upcoming days. We also plan to do very short test-run on Wednesday to see how things are working etc.

Meanwhile, feel free to signup for sprint, and add topics you want us to discuss.

I have ideas for some more talk-ish sessions (e.g. intro to Kirigami or Porting to Android). We could think about recording those for later, too

Idea: solve dependency issue for maui apps on the nexus 5x image related to quick shapes to test the apps again and have deeper inetratiom

As an idea, the most common request has been to provide an up-to-date and regularly updated ISO for x86_64. As of now, that image is still from 02.2019.

So update,

We decided to try/use the BigBlueButton instance hosted by Kenny Coyle : http://bigbluebutton.kde.levellingup.co.uk/b/bhu-t7z-thd is current room.

You can either sign-up using account, so I can share room with you (which allows you to join anytime) or sign-in using guest account which needs some of us (moderators) to allow you in.

As for actual testing, it would be nice to test it when more people are online, so I suppose roughly 12 CEST would be nicer choice [Roughly in 2 hours]. If you want to test your individual setups, I am in room anyway, feel free to join-in. As a main topic to discuss during this testing period, we want to see how we want to schedule this better for upcoming 3 days.

If this does not work/or BBB can't handle more people, we will try Jitsi, although in my experience, BBB seems more robust then Jitsi.

If you don't want to join in using the BBB or audio/video based chat, Plasma Mobile team will also be available in the #plasmamobile:kde.org matrix room. Feel free to say Hello!
