Matthias Raives, Vojtěch Boček aka tasssadar is working on a multiboot rom for the nexus 7 2013 that will include various Linux flavors including plasma active, ubuntu touch, etc. I think this will be your best bet atm.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/multirom-for-nexus-7-2013 http://tasssadar.github.io/multirom/ Some days ago he received his brand new nexus 7 2013 and already working on it: https://plus.google.com/106544733723469872647/posts/NgWEFh61Xi7 For further updates add him: https://plus.google.com/106544733723469872647/posts Maybe someone from the core team can contact him for official collaboration? It will help plasma active get more visibility & valuable enthusiastic testers-users making it easier to install and use in such a popular device. Hope this helps.
