1. KDE Plasma Active Marco Martin

2. Linux and UX Desktop: GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE...
Community controlled projects
Open governance
But, how are things on mobile?

3. Apples and robots Landscape: Apple and Android
Linux: Android, Hildon, MeeGoTouch
Company controlled development
No possibility for individuals to get directly involved

4. Open mobile stack
We need a mobile stack completely open, user centered and with a compelling UX desing

5. Open access To devices (no lock in) To source code
Open for people and companies to join
Android matches only partially

6. Development Developed in the open Public read/write repo
Open governance

7. Derivatives Free to modify Make own product To redistribute To fork
To Un-fork

8. Community Self sustaining Direct involvement in decision making
Meritoctatic process

9. Device spectrum
Device spectrum

10. First release: 9/10/11
Based on KDE technologies, first release on MeeGo and Balsam/openSuse
In progress: Mer image, Arm devices

11. Plasma Active Touch friendly UI Free software stack
Write once, deploy everywhere
Contour UI: Based upon the concept of Activities
Coherent display/management of files, contacts, bookmarks etc
In an unique semantic database

14. Share, Like, Connect Ubiquitous options Built around social networks
Extendable via scripted plugins

15. Apps

16. Apps Logic/presentation separation Backend is Qt/C++
UI is in QML+Javascript
Easy to change
import QtQuick 1.0
import org.kde.plasma.core 0.1 as PlasmaCore
Item {
width: 200
height: 300
Text {
id: first
text: i18n("1st line")
anchors {
top: parent.top;
left: parent.left;
right: parent.right; }
id: second
text: i18n("2nd line")
top: first.bottom;
bottom: parent.bottom;

17. Simplest case: QML only desktop widget
Architecture independent
Simple package user installable
Zip with a standard filesystem
Simple IDE to create them: plasmate

18. Sources import QtQuick 1.0
import org.kde.plasma.core 0.1 as PlasmaCore
Item {
id: page;
PlasmaCore.DataSource {
id: dataSource
engine: "time"
connectedSources: ["Local"]
interval: 500 }
Row {
Text {text: “Time is”}
Text {
text: dataSource.data['Local']['Time']
font.pointSize: 22

19. Device specific UI

20. Opportunities
Development is driven by designers to make an appealing experience
More and more devices are being supported
Every individual, every company, every free software project is welcome to join
Sustainable ecosystem for free software on devices
