> Hi list,
> just a quick heads up, at today's regular KDE SIG IRC meeting the
> working group decided to change the focus of the upcoming Fedora Plasma
> product (excerpt from the mission statement [1]):
>
> "The WG aims to create a reliable, user-friendly and powerful operating
> system for laptops and PC hardware, leveraging the KDE Plasma Workspaces
> technologies. The system should be attractive to a range of power users
> and content creators - people who build our community, as well as a
> platform for development of modern KDE and Qt applications - even in
> mobile space. There will be add-ons delivered based on our platform; the
> first such add-on will contain quality educational and scientific software."
>
> The product will focus primarily on providing a powerful, full-featured
> desktop based on KDE Plasma technologies. We also decided that it would
> be the best to deliver the scientific stuff as an add-on to the product
> itself.

> We'd therefore like to invite members of the Fedora Scientific SIG and
> community to participate in creating such addon(s).

> Thanks for reading, looking forward to your suggestions and feedback!
