Hey, so me and Thomas have been hard at work on this for a while now and I 
think we are at a good point to show what we got. 

Please remember that THIS IS JUST A DRAFT! Nothing is set in stone even if the 
document looks fancy (the PNG attached to this email)
Below is the raw text of it.

The Vision is split into three subsections:
Vision, Details and and three key points.
The actual Vision:
Plasma is created to be the primary user interface for multiple device classes 
providing a stable, performant, usable and above all productive environment 
for professional computer users. 
Plasma's feature set is selected for its usefulness in a productive context 
with a constant care to user privacy. 

Detail 1: Plasma not only promises to never invade its users' privacy itself, 
but also protect against other parties' attempts to spy on them. Security is a 
precondition to privacy, all privacy measures are useless in an insecure 
system.
Detail 2: Our target audience works with their devices in a professional 
setting. Productivity is key for them and their user interface must give them 
an efficient and swift way of completing tasks.
Detail 3: A perfomant desktop is the base of any productive environment and 
code quality, usability and aesthetic value are relevant to the experience. 
Nothing in the interface exists on its own merits but for what it brings to 
the user.

The Three Key points:
Private, Professional, Performant.
