I do know that there is a good amount of interest
in the community, but my impression is also that many people are
playing a waiting game for others to move before they're getting their
hands dirty. This is something we need to resolve to get the ball
really
rolling. A decent plan and coordination of these effort is definitely
needed, and this is something we should come up with first. Build and
they will come.
*nod* - I absolutely think this is a chicken-egg problem. Due to not
having hardware nobody is interested in doing work and due to not having
software we don't get the hardware. Librem 5 might be just the push to
get out of this loop. What might be needed is getting development boards
early to KDE devs and we need to get the initial setup story good, so
that it's easy to hack on without having to fight the system (I remember
the horror of Nokia's maemo cross compiler)
Now that is said - what suggestion do you have for a meeting around
promoting collaboration between Purism and KDE regarding Librem5?
Videoconferencing or async via mail? Other tools? I would add to the
discussion our CEO, CMO and Director of Creative.
Video would probably work best, a phone conference is also an option.
Plasma and KDE promo people are mostly in Europe, but I'm sure we can
make something work, even if it's outside of office hours (I don't
mind).
If you need any input from the Wayland stack (e.g. rendering, input) I'm
happy to participate, though that would mean outside of office hours ;-)
(earliest 16 CEST).
