Questions/Requested Information

This year our contributor conference will be virtual! You have the option to submit live or pre-recorded sessions.

I'd prefer to do it live.

What is your proposal?

With Fedora Linux 34, Fedora has switched the KDE Plasma Desktop to the Plasma Wayland session by default. This makes Fedora Linux the first Linux distribution to use Plasma Wayland as the primary experience for KDE Plasma. The path to getting there was not without its challenges, so this session details the effort involved in making that happen and what's next for Plasma Wayland in Fedora Linux.

Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the virtual room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.

List each person by their name and FAS ID:

No specific individuals, though anyone interested in Wayland and KDE is welcome to attend.

Is this a…

50 minute Talk

Anything else we need to know?

This could be a 25 minute talk, with less content and a significantly shorter Q&A session.
