Some people are interested in having a mini-online sprint to fix various issue in https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/247/ and help on-boarding new contributors.
Plan is to have a online co-ordination, mostly in Plasma Mobile matrix room. For the main part of the sprint and discussing things, BigBlueButton is used
If you are interested please add a your name and rough date and time availability in UTC for next week, note that we are experimenting on online sprint for very first time.
