Plasma Active aims at creating a cross-device user experience for devices such as tablet computers, media centers, smartphones, and more. Plasma Active's mission statement is


Plasma Active is a workspace ("User Experience") specially designed for Active computers. The user experience is designed around social networks, the web and multimedia content.
'''Create a desirable user experience encompassing a spectrum of devices'''


Plasma Active runs on the proven Linux desktop stack, including the Linux kernel, D-Bus, Xorg, Qt and KDE's Plasma Framework. The user interface is designed using Qt Quick, a declarative markup language allowing for organic user interface design. Plasma Active uses existing and proven Free desktop technology and brings it to tablet devices through a touch-friendly user interface. Existing Plasma Widgets can be used on Plasma Active as well as newly developed ones. In Plasma Active, the user experience is the key driver for its development. Development and extension is made easy by high-level development tools and easy collaboration.

The user interface is designed using Plasma Quick, a declarative markup language allowing for user interface design based on Qt Quick. Plasma Active uses existing Free desktop technology and brings it to a spectrum of devices through a device-specific user interface. Classical Plasma Widgets can be used on Plasma Active as can newly created ones. The key driver for the development of Plasma Active is the user experience. Collaboration is made easy through high-level development tools and a well defined process.

Plasma Active is currently at a conceptual stage. We have a proof-of-concept working on certain hardware, with a basically working shell, but an incomplete set of key applications. We welcome people to take part in this endeavour to make Plasma Active rock.
