Topics

Automation & Systematization

In the interest of not creating a multiple-sources-of-truth problem (A classic A&S no-no!) please see Goals/Automate and systematize internal processes#How_you_can_help

Sustainable Software

KEcoLab
- References:
- Ideas:
  - Documentation of how to use KEcoLab remotely
  - Integrate more apps
  - Dashboard for showing energy-efficiency measurement results
Blue Angel certification
- References:
- Ideas:
  - Updating Okular measurements
  - Better presentation of measurement results, so that users can access and understand them
  - Discussion: Do we want to renew the certification when it expires in 2025?
  - Discussion: Do we want to get other applications certified?
Extending hardware life by running KDE software on it
- Ideas:
  - What other initiatives are out there? Where can we help with KDE software?
  - What are interesting/widely-used hardware platforms to target?
  - Redesigning the website / focus on different presentation for different audiences
  - Campaign materials at events
Create/improve specific usage scenarios and do corresponding energy efficiency measurements
- Ideas:
  - Kate
  - KMail
Review toolchain for doing measurments
- Ideas:
  - Fully reproducable workflow where all data and processing scripts are available (e.g. like Jupyter Notebooks)
  - Replacement for OSCAR which is more easy to use and tweak for people not knowing R
Additional sustainability labels, what else is there, what could be created
Sustainable AI / LLMs
- Measure energy-efficiency of locally using AI (e.g. using https://ollama.com/ or https://localai.io/)
- Look at KDE integrations of AI (https://apps.kde.org/alpaka/, digiKam, Krita, ...)
  - Critical discussion threads about LLMs: Interest in building an LLM frontend for KDE, Licensing for models and datasets, Ask about new KDE functionnalities.
  - Proposal for a KDE chatbot "Alpaka": Kandalf: request for review (discussion is about the name)
- Ethical AI (see https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-ethical-ai-rating/, integrate with KDE as well? see also https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/ml-policy/-/blob/master/ML-Policy.rst and https://opensource.org/deepdive)
Dolphin
- set-up tests and ci with AT-SPY https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/492 to allow power-measurement
your idea here ;-) ...
