PRESENT: Ivan, Sebas, Thomas and Jens MEETING GOAL: write up a vision statement for Plasma Mobile and talk about the early work of the Plasma Mobile HIG and design goals.
The vision we ended with, after much debate of different wordings, what should and shouldn't be included in a vision statement was VISION STATEMENT: "Plasma Mobile aims to become a complete software system for mobile devices. It is designed to give privacy-aware users back the full-control over their information and communication. Plasma Mobile takes a pragmatic approach and is inclusive to 3rd party software, allowing the user to choose which applications and services to use. It provides a seamless experience across multiple devices. Plasma Mobile implements open standards, and -- unlike Android -- it is developed in a transparent process that is open for the community to participate in." NOTES ON VISION STATEMENT: We wanted the vision statement to reflect not the projects current position but our future goals in full. A system for actual users with a focus on privacy, control of information and your own system and working in the open as a community using open source. We also included information about our pragmatism and how the phone intends to be easily adaptable to different apps from other eco-systems and also our intent to make it a pairing with desktops. PERSONAS: We also talked about future Personas that we want to work towards when creating user stories and scenarios and settled fairly quickly on Berna (the office worker) and Susan (the recreational user). (1) DESIGN NOTES: Further notes of interest during the meeting where a few bullet points concerning future design goals for individual apps which will reach the HIG in the end 1) All applications should be private by default - no sending data in the default configuration, must not phone home 2) Applications should try to include security and control of info. Should be apparent not hidden. This is not an excuse for geeky "design". 3) Applications should always aim for integration between devices, for example using kdeconnect FUTURE COMMUNICATION: We also brainstormed on communication taglines for the project that will be narrowed down further as time goes by (and should probably be a case for the KDE Promo team) - centering mostly on user self control over his or her information and communication but also communication ideas concerning pragmatism. "Pragmatic to the bone" "Think Similar" "This is your phone, no one elses" "Plasma's Satellite" "Your phone. Your stuff. Your Plasma Mobile." "Plasma Mobile. Yours." "Yours" "For your eyes only." "Yours truly." All in all a very productive meeting. --------------------------------------------- 1) https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/Principles/KDE4_Personas _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
