Topic Idea: How to encourage developers to write their own store config files? aka snapcraft.yaml and the like? Perhaps a wiki page(s) on how-tos for each store?

If you're looking for a location for this sprint just ping me. Maybe we at TUXEDO Computers could arrange something.

The Consistency update has been published: https://dot.kde.org/2019/10/31/consistency-update

I'd say that the sprint would be needed earlier for planning and getting an idea on what's the best way to push consistency forwards. There's a clearly overlap with VDG tasks, so I would say that it would make sanse to co-locate it with VDG if they plan to do any. I think VDG/HIG people would be really needed for the consistency sprint.

I'm working on a first status update on https://share.kde.org/s/cpkrfGssWKZRaHZ

Current plan is to hold this during the week of June 11 as part of the UK Open Source Awards which are being held at and near Red Hat offices in London

I wouldn't be so sure that co-locating with Plasma makes unequivocally sense. Both @davidedmundson @romangg as well as other people like me have several responsibilities within the project that will definitely be a distraction to the goal. Co-locating with Krita, if they need need ad-hoc work would make sense. Doing it around an upstream conference (QtCS, XDC) would also make a lot of sense.

My two sense about it :

Done.

Closing as this took place a couple of weeks ago, here's a summary: http://neofytosk.com/post/kdes-onboarding-sprint-making-it-easier-to-setup-a-development-environment/

New date is set for July 22-23 in Nuremberg, Germany. Please register your interest on https://community.kde.org/Sprints/Onboarding/2019!

As the sprint in May did not gather enough participants, we will have to move it to a later date. I will let you know once more info is available.

I'd love to meet you all and work on the tasks and objectives!
Looking forward to meeting all of you! 🌟🌟 \o/

Hi, all! I'm sorry, I found out that I will not manage to come to the sprint this time :( If you happen to gather next winter, I might try to join though.

Pinging everyone subscribed to the task in order to register their date preferences, as we need to inform the venue by early March:

Hey everyone, it took a while but I am thrilled to announce that we have finally found a place to host us in Athens. It will be available for the 3 out of 4 weekends of May 2019.
