LaKademy 2017

[ kde lakademy kdevelop arduino atcore atelier docker ]

It was my first participation in a KDE sprint event, the famous LaKademy (Latin-America Akademy) in Brazil, Minas Gerais - Belo Horizonte. A great experience to talk, share and learn a bit more about KDE, coffee and software development.

Next I'll talk about some points of what I have done during the event.

First day:

• AtCore:
  • Some bug corrections of the new AtCore test client, moving from QWidgets to QDockWidget.
  • Some patchs review.
  • .gitignore updates to remove .patch and .diff from project.
  • Update some tasks.
• KDevelop:
  • Solving compilation errors from kdesrc-build --include-dependencies kdevelop.
  • syntax-highlighting:
    • Add Arduino extensions (.ino, .pde).
  • Bug correction in breeze-icons, but one was already in review.

Second day:

• babe-qt:
  • Code corrections and refactory.
  • Restore functionality of CMakeLists.
• KDevelop:
  • Solve some compile corrections.
  • Attempt to solve more compile problems with --include-dependencies.
• Atcore:
  • Adjustments in GUI.
  • Update in 3D visualizer of Gcode for 3D printers.

Third day:

• KDE
  • Development of a docker to help the use and development of KDE applications with the help of kdesrc-build.
    • Tested with AtCore, Cantor, GCompris and Kate. (Link)
      • It was only possible with the help of Jedi.

Last day:

• KDE
  • Finalization of kde's docker.
• KDevelop
  • Start to work in copy-paste functionality in KDevelop popup.

It was a event completely different of what I thought, a great experience for any developer. Maybe, next time, I can see you in LaKademy 2018 ;)
