[Kde-games-devel] Active Games?

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi all :)

hopefully you will all have heard about or read something about Plasma Active. 
if not, here is a reasonable place to start:

i've also read about some great progress being made as a result of the recent 
KDE Games sprint, in paricular:

fullscreen-and-touch-interfaces-blue-wonder-2011/

usage-and-interface/

when we started setting up the Plasma Active initiative, games were something 
that came up on our shortlist of "things we'd like to have as part of Active 
Apps".

what we are looking for are development groups that are interested in reaching 
users on consumer device form factors (e.g. tablets or set top boxes) and are 
spending some time towards that end.

in return, Plasma Active offers:

	* raised visibility
	* packaging on a bi-weekly released live & installable OS image
	* a community of people working on similar goals, and therefore with 
similar challenges and needs

not all KDE Games may be appropriate for or of interest to Plasma Active, and 
that's ok. some may really be more suited for keyboard+mouse usage. but i'd 
love to see the ones that are approrpriate get their share of the spotlight in 
Plasma Active.

if there is interest on the part of developers here, let's organize a meeting 
at your convenience (irc, skype, whatever) and discuss how we can make this 
happen.

happy hacking :)
