KDE/Mission/Brainstorming

This page is for brainstorming topics related to KDE's mission. For KDE's vision see KDE/Vision.

Note

The mission tells us how we want to achieve our vision. It should not be confused with the vision (what we aspire to do) or the manifesto (who we are).

TODO
A few important notes are already covered at KDE/Vision/Drafts/A. They should be condensed and be used here.

Things that are important to me for the mission

• add your notes here

AlexN:

• the main software products KDE is working on:
  • a complete set of cross-platform end-user applications, well-integrated with the host OS. goal: become the number 1 in end-user/GUI applications on all major operating systems
  • a "classic" UNIX desktop, goal: best in class
  • a cross-platform SDK (currently mainly KF5). Two goals: enable all of the stuff above, and become the number 1 provider for Qt-based libraries, also in the commercial Qt community.
  • a user interface for mobile/embedded Linux systems (currently Plasma Mobile). Goal: best FLOSS solution in class.
  • software for open knowledge and non-LCD devices (ruphy)

Ruphy:

• The democratic and inclusive process of development
• Pragmatic mindset when technological questions have to be answered
• Do-ocracy and respect-based system for decision making
