Starting with a brief overview of the nature of the state of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and its human rights situation, this talk will then introduce the concept of transitional justice, which works together with, but also goes beyond, the traditional human rights approach. The heart of the talk will describe our project, “Mapping Crimes Against Humanity in North Korea,” and how many of the challenges we face have been partially or fully addressed using free and open source software and data (FOSSD). Challenges unique to implementing FOSS solutions in South Korea will also be covered. Speaker Bio: Dan Bielefeld is the technical director of the Transitional Justice Working Group in Seoul, South Korea. Originally from the U.S. state of Wisconsin, Dan oversees development and management of TJWG’s mapping project and data security. Before moving to Korea, he worked in the Washington, D.C., area as a web developer.

In this talk I will present this goal, outline what we have done over the last months, explain what needs to be done and signpost the way forward. Are we doing enough KDE can stay healthy and continue to grow as a community and organization? In proposing the idea, I wished for us to standardize and enhance the onboarding process of our community so we can make the most of the people that show interest to contribute. The talk should interest everyone contributing to KDE and especially people that lead various aspects of our community and projects. For this goal to have an impact, we need to act together in embracing newcomers. /system/events/logos/000/000/007/large/helping_hands.jpg?1533807080 Neofytos Kolokotronis KDE Community Goal: Streamlined onboarding of new contributors An update on KDE's Streamlined Onboarding Goal, Akademy talk and first sprint Video Slides 2018-08-11T11:30:00+02:00 11:30 00:25 EI7 Akademy2018_-75-kde_e_v_board_report https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/75.html false KDE e.V.

This talk will explain why and how I decided to pick up the torch. It will also cover future plans and interesting questions to explore. No colored blobs were harmed during the making of that talk. In this talk we will explore the work previously done by Paul Adams about community metrics. I will explain the code legacy we got from Paul and how I modernized it. This will be the opportunity to demo some of the tooling. I will also explain why I'm not planning to reuse off the shelf solutions for that work. Next, I will give my own interpretation to the diagrams and metrics Paul was previously producing. This will explain and justify some of the improvements brought to the visualizations that were advertised in the past months. Last but not least, I will explain some of the currently undergoing work and the questions I plan to explore.

The advice presented in the talk will be supported by research and observations on various FLOSS communities, but also on proprietary software. The goal is to convince developers and project maintainers that release notes are an incredibly valuable tool that should not be dismissed as an afterthought. "Bugfixes and improvements." Those three notorious words have almost become a meme in software development circles, and could easily be blamed as one of the main reasons why users don't read release notes, or consider them largely useless. But it doesn't have to be like that. Release notes are an important part of the software release process, and they play a big role in promotion as well. Transforming them into something that the users will enjoy reading and look forward to is not only possible, but also desirable. There are different ways to create release notes, and while developers usually look for the easiest, most automated way to save time, it's worth investing a bit more into their quality by giving them a human touch. This approach opens up an opportunity to involve non-coding contributors in your project - people who can write well and give feedback from an end-user's perspective. The advice that will be presented in this talk can apply to any software project - FLOSS or not - but more importantly, it can be used to include various KDE projects into the the KDE Community goal "Streamlined Onboarding of New Contributors", as well as to increase the KDE Community's reach through promotion efforts. One of the sessions at Akademy 2013 was dedicated to improving the release notes of KDE projects. Five years later, it would be interesting to revisit the conclusions and advice of those sessions. I intend to contact the contributors who participated in them, and compare how KDE projects used to approach release notes then versus how they approach them now.

However the road to that goal has been very limited due to closed devices. While project halium has been helping us on that road, however what project halium is doing is essentially a workaround for the far bigger problem. Mobile devices in market come with very old kernel and android software pre-installed. These softwares are generally not patched against the already discovered security vulnerabilities. While Plasma Mobile can work with such old stack using the hacks like libhybris, it doesn't help us achieve the goal of privacy and security. The solution is to bring the support for these devices in the mainline kernel. This provides us with the up-to-date base system to work on (Linux 4.1x, Mesa graphics, DRM, Wayland) and we can avoid dealing with the binary blobs through halium/libhybris. Plasma Mobile community is recently working with the kernel developers to bring support for older phones like Nexus 5 to mailine kernel. (see links for details). This talk includes some more technical details about the open devices and how Plasma Mobile works on such devices and what's next for Plasma Mobile project given such nice opportunity. /system/events/logos/000/000/028/large/photo679166567701915592.jpg?1520413719 Bhushan Shah Blog post about Plasma Mobile on open devices postmarketOS project blogpost about Plasma Mobile on mainline devices Video 2018-08-11T12:30:00+02:00 12:30 01:20 EI8 Akademy2018_-87-public_speaking_practicals https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/87.html false Registration required Training Presentation Registration: https://community.kde.org/Akademy/2018/TrainingPublicSpeaking Marta Rybczynska 2018-08-11T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 00:25 EI8 Akademy2018_-29-running_without_installing https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/29.html CC BY 4.0 false How to work on KDE code and test it without installing it. Development Presentation Being able to run applications and unittests without installing them makes it easier for developers to contribute to one piece of the puzzle (e.g. to test changes on top of a stable system without the risk of messing it up). It also shortens the change/compile/test development cycle by removing the install step from it. This work was triggered by the presentation and discussion at last year's Akademy, "Looking at the Application Developer Story / Making it easy for contributors to get started". In this year's presentation, we'll present the results of that work. First, the current state of this feature for the KF5 frameworks themselves, and then teaching application and library developers what they need to do to make it possible to run applications and unittests without installing them first.

Development Presentation The talk will begin with a general introduction to Containerization technologies and why we need it. Followed by how we have used Docker to setup KDE neon and how we can use flatpak to setup desktop applications. Setting up a development environment for a software can be time-consuming and at times a bit confusing There are many libraries and packages that need to be installed and which might also cause conflict with the existing system packages. There are various ways to containerize an application, we will discuss two major approaches - Docker and Flatpak. Docker helps a developer by setting up a sandboxed development environment in a container which can be used for debugging, testing or developing a new feature. You can run multiple such environments parallelly e.g. stable & development environment. Flatpak provides a sandbox environment in which users can run applications in isolation from the rest of the system. We will see a live example of both of these technologies, how they differ from each other and when one is preferred over the other.

Ensuring license compliance requires adequate business processes as defined in OpenChain, a common license data exchange format provided by SPDX, and tools to automate license compliance requirements integrated into the engineering workflow - Quartermaster. The presentation demonstrates how Quartermaster can be used to automatically create up-to-date and correct compliance documentation. It explains the concept and philosophy behind the toolchain, the history of the project and how Quartermaster develops an industry standard for license compliance tooling by building bridges between free and open source developers, legal practitioners and open source program offices.

The 3D Printing world in its core is based on the Open Source world. That movement started back in 2004 with the RepRap (reprap.org) project, when the first patents on 3DPrinting started to expire. With that a lot of hardware and software projects started to pop up. Despite the long Open Source tradition within the 3D printing community, there isn't any good cross-platform solution to govern our printers.

Usually you buy them a drink afterwards. This talk introduces the method, what you have to keep in mind for it to work well, and what it should or should not be applied for. Since we are doing extremely little user testing in KDE, this talk is meant to introduce this alternative to the community, which is more feasible for us than traditional lab testing. Guerilla Usability Testing can be applied by pretty much anybody.

This talk will present the key points of this proposal, hoping to help finding consensus to put this into effect. The current policy draft at https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy focuses on transparency on what data is gathered, control of what data is submitted, assurance that the collected data does not contain private or identifying information, the limitation to purpose-bound and minimal telemetry data, as well as a compliance process. While there seems to be wide consensus on those principals, there are still details that need agreement before this can be put into affect, such as how to proceed with applications that have already been using telemetry before in a way not compliant with the proposed policy.

Now, when you have your beautiful and elegant UI you start developing your backend. So should you forget everything you learned about highly readable code and dynamic interconnections because you are constrained by C++? No, I will show you how to bridge QML with Python, to get the best of both worlds. My practical example is a "Smart Mirror", made entirely with QML and PyQt. This features a weather service plugin in Python, which makes use of Asynchronous I/O and coroutines. And integration with a smart home system in just a few lines of code. And then there's face recognition, Google Assistant and Slack also available.... - with more modules just a few lines of code away. You can look at all of the open source examples for yourself. Will especially be relevant with the official Python bindings coming to Qt (http://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/02/22/qt-roadmap-2018/). I'll also suggest Python integration in the Plasma desktop - so plasmoids backends can be written in Python as well (and the whole mirror could just be another Plasma shell).

This talk will present the current state of this work. Yocto is one of the most popular solutions for embedded Linux applications, and therefore an attractive platform to promote KDE Frameworks 5 in the embedded industry. With Qt already being widely used in this field, having KF5 easily available would obviously be desirable. However, this is essentially packaging KF5 for yet another distribution. A primary focus therefore has been on making this as sustainable as possible by reducing the work needed to update to a new release as much as possible. This is mainly achieved by a zero patch policy and automation where possible. We'll also touch on considerations and challenges around cross-compilation needed for Yocto.

Components such as settings modules, kdeds and applets and runners all operate on a plugin oriented approach to load the various different system services into the specific view. Whilst this works, it does not lead to a secure or robust solution nor does it work in a world moving towards containers and sandboxing. In this presentation I shall outline the current recurring problems we have with Plasma's architecture and the plans to fix it. I shall review status of the already merged work in krunner and the impact this had, along with presenting the upcoming work for running KCMS and plasmoids out of process through the use of wayland compositors which will help us build a more modern desktop environment.

Kdenlive offers you a great many of transitions and effects to spice up your videos. However, sticking to what is just in the box, can have the opposite effect, making you movies boring an trite. In this talk I will show how, by combining different techniques (and even different applications), you can create your own "vanity" transitions with fun animations and other tricks that are not obvious at first glance. Along the way, we will discover what Kdenlive's limits are, why they exist, and when to use something different. /system/events/logos/000/000/010/large/kdenlive.png?1518295756 Paul Brown Kdenlive Video 2018-08-12T15:00:00+02:00 15:00 00:25 EI7 Akademy2018_-22-kde_when_s_my_flight https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/22.html CC BY 4.0 false Exploring free alternatives for digital travel assistance Applications Presentation Getting your itinerary presented in a unified, well structured and always up to date fashion rather than advertisement overloaded HTML email monstrosities or countless vendor-specific apps has been established by services like TripIt, and with the integration of this into the Google platform it has become part of the de-facto standard feature set for digital assistants. While very useful and convenient, it comes at a heavy privacy cost, a price not everyone is willing to pay. So, the obvious question is: can we have a free and privacy-respecting alternative for this? In this talk we'll explore the various building blocks already available or still missing that would be needed to build a free digital travel assistant. It turns out that the primary challenge is related to data rather than code. In particular, obtaining personal booking information, static information about for example the location or timezone of an airport, and dynamic data about e.g. delays or gate changes. Extracting reservation information from emails is thankfully simplified by the proprietary services facing the same problem, who therefore have been pushing for the inclusion of standardized structured information in booking emails. For static information Wikidata provides a free and comprehensive set of data. Dynamic data however is usually only available from the corresponding transport providers, and even if they provide cost-free REST APIs those often require API keys or have aggressive invocation throttling. Obviously all these information will need to be presented to the user on desktop and mobile devices in the end, this talk will cover existing components for this too. Should the author fail to show up to this presentation this might be due to having tried to get on to the flight to Vienna with experimental code rendering his boarding pass.

The porting of Vvave to Kirigami: https://vvave.kde.org/beta.html Vvave started as a simple music player, and pretty fast has evolved to become a larger project. Last year, when I first presented Babe to the KDE community at Akademy Almeria, the talk about the Kirigami framework got me excited and then I started making Vvave a truly cross-platform application and mobile-ready, so I started working on Vvave to make use of QQC2 and Kirigami and the road has been great so far and now Vvave runs on Android, Linux GNU desktops and is ready for Plasma Mobile. The Vvave stream platform: https://vvave-stream.kde.org/ On the Vvave presentation talk from last year, I tried to make a point about the benefits of letting the multimedia desktop applications learn from the internet, with that idea still on mind I started pondering on the idea of implementing an open music information platform to furthermore bring closer Vvave to the internet. Such platform would not only benefit Vvave, but perhaps many other music players. The platform is named Vvave stream, it’s up and running and its goal is to become a free/open platform that resembles a mixture of Genius/SoundCloud/LastFM/Spotify. Pulpo MIR system Vvave and the Vvave stream platform both use a basic implementation of a MIR system called Pulpo, a system that makes use of several web services to collect music information to later on analyze in order to give contextual feedback to the application about the music collection. Getting involved: Vvave, Vvave stream and Pulpo are parts of the VVAVE project that covers much more spaces than, maybe, someone would suspect, and there are a lot of ways the community could get involved: from testing to contributing with code on different parts with JavaScript, QML, C++, Python, to working on the UX/UI design of Babe application and the BabeIt platform, to translations, and also helping with data analysis, web crawling and data mining on the Pulpo MIR system. /system/events/logos/000/000/013/large/babe.png?1519098333 Camilo Higuita Vvave app Vvave stream platform Pulpo repo Video 2018-08-12T16:00:00+02:00 16:00 00:30 EI7 Akademy2018_-93-break https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/93.html false Breaks 2018-08-12T16:30:00+02:00 16:30 00:25 EI7 Akademy2018_-50-konquering_the_world https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/50.html CC BY 4.0 false A 7 step plan to KDE world domination KDE Goals Presentation KDE produces Linux-based software that is the best-positioned to displace proprietary alternatives and become the default desktop shell used throughout the entire world. Come find out how we'll make it happen! KDE's market share is less than 1%. This talk will discuss how you can help us raise that to 50% or higher over the next decade. We'll go over an actionable 7-step plan to make KDE's software so good and so well-distributed that nobody will be able to resist wanting to using it!

Tumbleweed, the rolling release and Leap, a more classic, stable distribution. In contrast to most competitors both distributions integrate both KDE and GNOME into the same code base, offering both at install time. This talk aims to explain the intentions, schedules and target audiences of both distributions, resulting in different requirements and expections for the desktop enviroments.

Instead of building an operating system from scratch, we're reusing well-tried standards and code from the Unix desktop ecosystem, while still providing a user friendly experience. We're working closely together with the KDE project on bringing Plasma Mobile, one of the several user interface choices in postmarketOS, to as many devices as possible. /system/events/logos/000/000/067/large/pmos.png?1520891911 Oliver Smith postmarketOS - Homepage postmarketOS - GitHub 219 days of postmarketOS blogpost Video 2018-08-12T15:30:00+02:00 15:30 00:25 EI8 Akademy2018_-55-short_dive_into_building_automotive_ecus_with_yocto https://conf.kde.org/en/akademy2018/public/events/55.html CC BY 4.0 false Distros Presentation Yocto is the most commonly used build and configuration management system for creating automotive-grade embedded systems that are based on Linux. When featuring a UI, these embedded control units often use Qt as their main development platform. But actually, automotive development is also a field where we want to see the use of key assets of our KDE community like the KDE Frameworks 5 libraries, too. In this talk, I will introduce the basic principles and concepts of Yocto. My focus lies on the integration of libraries and applications into a Yocto based board image and how to generate and to use a cross-building SDK. Moreover, I will discuss the recent steps taken to make Qt and KDE Frameworks 5 available in the Yocto world.
