Description
Plasma Mobile has seen surging interest in recent years alongside the growing community around mobile Linux devices. And during this time, the project has come a long way in becoming functional and usable for users.
Lots of work had to go into the software stack, adapting Plasma, KDE Frameworks and other core components for a mobile context.
New applications also had to be developed to suit the needs of the platform, as well as adhering to "convergence" where they would work regardless of the platform, whether it be on desktop or mobile.
During this talk, Bhushan will be going over recent developments in the underlying Plasma Mobile stack, while Devin will be presenting the work that has been done in the shell and UI.
We will also show the ways how community can contribute to Plasma Mobile project.
