This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == This Change is about promoting the Fedora KDE Desktop deliverables to Edition status. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Ngompa| Neal Gompa]], [[User:Dcavalca| Davide Cavalca]], [[User:Carlschwan| Carl Schwan]], [[User:Marcdeop| Marc Deop]], [[User:Tdawson| Troy Dawson]], [[User:Farchord| Steve Cossette]] * Email: ngompa13@xxxxxxxxx, davide@xxxxxxxxxxxx, carl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, marcdeop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, tdawson@xxxxxxxxxx, farchord@xxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == As [https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/504 approved by Fedora Council], this promotes the Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop variant to full Edition status. As the variant is already release-blocking, this is mainly a change for adjusting how the KDE Desktop variant is presented and promoted. We have identified the following focus areas to market the KDE Plasma Desktop Edition: * Multimedia enthusiasts (AV and gaming particularly see: [https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/718 VRR on Wayland] or [https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/662 DRM Leasing]) * Content [https://kde.org/for/creators/ creators] (aligning with KDE/Qt software in this space such as Kdenlive, Krita, and [https://obsproject.com/ OBS Studio]) * Accessibility (aligning with upstream work to make the Linux desktop friendlier to folks of various impairments such as [color]blindness, limited dexterity, and limited motor control) * Personalization (aligning with KDE Plasma features for customizing the desktop experience) The details of how this will be done are in the process of being fleshed out. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == This makes Fedora stand out among the major Linux distributions by promoting the KDE Plasma Desktop as a flagship experience and signals a strong commitment to the KDE community by rewarding the current success of the Fedora KDE community and supporting its continued growth. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Split KDE Desktop variant out of Spins section in pungi-fedora ** Work with websites team to introduce KDE Plasma Desktop Edition information on the main site ** Bring online initial Personal Systems WG documentation site * Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12533 #12533] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: Done. * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: Yes ** This aligns with broadening our success with Editions (Fedora.next) and establishing a story around Fedora KDE to market more broadly. == Upgrade/compatibility impact == None. This is mainly a marketing change. == How To Test == Nothing to test as this is mainly a marketing change. == User Experience == The main change will be the Fedora website showing the KDE Plasma Desktop Edition alongside Workstation and others. == Dependencies == N/A. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Defer to next release * Contingency deadline: Final Freeze * Blocks release? Yes == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == Fedora Linux 42 promotes the Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop variant to full Edition status. -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
