Topic: rewriting of QtMobility plugin providing an engine for QtOrganizer based on mKCal

Some details about the topic: like QtContacts used in Sailifsh OS, QtPim (long heir of QtMobility) provides a module to deal with events and todos : QtOrganizer. It provides an API and QML bindings to handle calendar items. It can use several backends for storage. Old sources from QtMobility dated from Qt4.x era still have a plugin based on mKCal (the SQLite backend for calendar event used in Sailfish OS). But these sources are really out-dated, both mKCal and QtOrganizer have largely changed API since Qt4.x era. I’ve decided to rewrite the plugin, so current (or future) code using QtPim/QtOrganizer can have a well debugged SQLite backend, or even share data with an application based on nemo-qml-plugin-calendar
(like the calendar application). The new implementation can be found in this git repository. The main point of this topic is to announce the existence of this new possibility to handle calendar events and todos. While I’m still preferring to base new developments on the couple KCalendarCore/mKCal, the community meeting may be the place to discuss the pros and cons of this new possibility based on QtPim.

Approx. time needed: 5 to 15 minutes, depending if there is interest to discuss the topic, or if the announcement is just enough.

Substitute (optional): I’ll try to do my best to be present.
