Notes

1) Hackfest

Venue is booked

We have a wiki page

Sufficient attendence confirmed

Put agenda items on the wiki, please

And book your rooms soon!

2) State of GTK4 branches

listview branch: still quite in flux, but lots of things possible already.

Matthias has started to look at it recently, will create a writeup together

with Benjamin on state and remaining work.

transformations branch: Emmanuele is reviewing it, will work on an MR

wip/layout-manager branch: Current work-in-progress by Emmanuele on

separating layout managers from containers.

Current issues on master:

- window resizing problems with wayland / gl (Matthias)

- driver problems with vulkan (Emmanuele)

- Adwaita has regressions and is out of sync with 3.24

Some discussion around the way forward for Adwaita. We have a branch

with a theme refresh that is targeted for GNOME 3.32, but that might be

radical enough that it breaks some apps targeting Adwaita. We could

ship a beta-form NewAdwaita with the next 3.24.x release to give people

time to try it out. Still need a better theme selection api, ultimatively. Currently

we just have the theme name to go off.

3) General agreement that we should revert the a11y changes on 3.24, since

they were breaking things too much. Carlos will look into it.

4) Releases were not discussed directly. Matthias will look at doing a 3.24.x release

this week.

Next meeting time: March 4
