Two issues we will discuss in some detail are: (i) porting usage scenario scripts from xdotool to ydotool+kdotool; and (ii) setting up a lab machine dedicated to measuring KDE Plasma itself, which presents interesting new scripting and measurement setup challenges.

Twenty years and 151 releases later, where are we ? Is Kdenlive still relevant ? Will it finally get GPU support ? How is the community doing ? And more importantly, are we still having fun ? I will try to answer these questions, and give you a better overview of our plans.

It greatly helps from teaching elementary school pupils to university level students. I believe that acceptance for using free and open source software in teaching environments has recently risen given increased attention on digital sovereignty. Given these circumstances, I was allowed to participate in two projects bringing KDE to local pupils and students last year. I would like to share some takeaways from these projects to hopefully motivate others to run similar projects. The perceived open mindedness to using KDE software in schools is certainly a great incentive. One of the projects took place in a local elementary school. It started with a 1000 Euro grant which was used to organize hardware to set up a popup computer lab. We were able to furnish seven individual computer workstations, each powered by a Raspberry Pi 7. Given these computers, we ran multiple sessions splitting a class' students in two groups so two students could collaborate per workplace. All of the RPs run KDE as sole desktop environment. We started with multiple sessions using Gcompris and eventually moved forward to smaller programming exercises and even assignments involving electronic components. The other project involves the evolution of two lecture rooms at a local vocational school. One of them is a pure Linux lab and the other is a dual boot lecture room. Both use KDE as main desktop environment. The key here is probably how we slowly increased acceptance from other teachers and how we are planning to spread KDE software further. The great acceptance of the above projects clearly shows that KDE offers great features for teaching. From pupils touching a keyboard for the very first time to students of post-secondary computer science programs.

Conveniently, the expected final release of Qt 6.12 overlaps with Akademy. So let's take a tour through what Qt 6.12 brings to the table, and also check what will come next. The talk will look at shiny technical additions (liek hardware accelerated imperative painting and improved QML tooling, HarmonyOS as a new platform), and revisits modules moving out of TP. Moreover, there is also the topic of regulation, like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). There will be an overview of what Qt (both the company and the framework) have done in that area, and how this might be relevant even for FOSS projects like KDE.

Industry leaders like Apple and Microsoft are too deeply entrenched in their established ecosystems to risk radical shifts. While the Linux community has shown some appetite for experimentation, much of it has nibbled at the edges such as focusing on tweaking window management. This talk reflects my lifetime experience as a UX designer at Apple and Google and how the deepest innovations happen at the most mundane level: richer input, better data flows, and breaking out of our 2d windowing prisons. Ironically, the open source nature of Linux and specifically KDE provides a unique opportunity to break free from these legacy constraints.

There exist several cliches about the importance of working together, and no one knows the value of collaboration more than FOSS contributors. But perhaps sometimes overlooked is the importance of cross-community collaboration. In this talk I will take a deeper look at the collaborations which were part of KDE Eco's "Opt Green" project, in particular the "End Of 10" campaign. The focus will be on how building alliances with groups outside of KDE opened doors to new audiences and new opportunities. There are two main types of collaborations which I will explore, namely (i) those with other FOSS communities and (ii) those with adjacent communities such as Repair Cafes and environmental groups.

More than 5,000 people have contributed more than 8 million lines of code in almost 900,000 commits in the core modules alone. This presentation will show some graphical insights into KDE's code base and its history. We will touch the shape of its modules, its release history, peek into the work of some exceptional contributors and get a feeling for how the activity moved around over the years. And we will explore the stories behind some of its most significant events. Spoiler alert. KDE is more alive than ever. The last two years saw more people contributing than any year before. And that built on all the work from the decades before. In this session we will see how.
