Session descriptions
Please give a quick over-view and say who'll be getting the discussion going.
Graphics Vision 2020
Various people
Towards a unified 2D-3D world. Let's discuss the direction for Qt Quick, the scenegraph, Qt 3D Studio with Qt 3D underneath, and the related tools like Qt 3D Studio and Qt Design Studio.
Qt 3D Studio Runtime and APIs, 2.0 and beyond
Laszlo Agocs, Andy Nichols
Let's take a look at what ships in Qt 3D Studio 2.0 when it comes to C++ and QML APIs, and how these - and the underlying engine - will evolve in H2/2018 and beyond. Also serves as an intro to the Graphics Vision session that follows afterwards.
CI status and ruminations about flaky tests
Ville Voutilainen
Brief look at what the CI task force has done, with focus on flaky tests, how to find them, and what to do about them going forward.
Dates, Times, Zones and Calendars
Edward Welbourne
C++20 is slated to build, on std::'s <chrono>, a coherent (and well-designed) date/time system that does time-zones well and supports a way of doing calendars. We have a QAbstractCalendar contribution in the pipe-line.
- What becomes of that, QTimeZone and Q(Date|Time)+ once (most of a decade from now) Qt is able to use C++20's shiny new library features ?
- What should we do for Qt6 to prepare the way for that future transition ?
