Last week KDE's annual world summit, Akademy , happend. And how exciting it was.
Akademy always starts off with two days of ever so exciting talks on a number of engaging subjects. But this year particularly interesting things happened courtesy of Blue Systems .
First Plasma Mobile took the stage with a working prototype running on the Nexus 5 using KWin as Wayland compositor. This is particularly enjoyable as working on the prototype, currently built on Kubuntu , made me remember the Kubuntu phone and tablet ports we did some 4 years ago .
Plasma Mobile was followed by a presentation on Shashlik , technology meant to enable running Android applications on Linux systems that aren't Android. So I can finally run candy crush on my desktop. Huzzah!
Rohan Garg and I also talked for a bit about our efforts to bring continuous integration and delivery to Kubuntu and Debian to integrate our packaging against KDE's git repositories and as a byproduct offer daily new binaries of most software produced by KDE.
After a weekend of thrilling talks, Akademy tends to continue with a week of discussion and hacking with Birds of Feathers sessions .
Ever since the Ubuntu Developer Summits were discontinued it has been common practise .. cntd
