KDE's Mobile Team Meets for First Sprint

KDAB's Berlin office hosted the first Mobile Sprint for KDE contributors between the 18th and the 21st of November. The objective of the Sprint was to connect various KDE teams whose work in some way involves mobile platforms, so they could share experiences and work on improvements for all mobile projects. Most of the participants came straight from the MeeGo Conference to the Mobile Sprint with lots of ideas and subjects for discussion. The first day was focused on how to get KDE software into openSUSE Build Service (OBS) to provide easy creation and distribution of packages of KDE software to the MeeGo community. From this came the idea of having a "KDE community space" in OBS. This would make it easier to package KDE software and allow everyone to work together - today, each user has his or her own space. Discussions were started with MeeGo's OBS administrators to provide this.

Making Packages

Creating packages using OBS made it easy to deploy KDE software to tablets that were distributed during the MeeGo Conference. Soon we started to see our KDE applications running on MeeGo. The results were recorded, and videos posted: Kontact Touch, Plasma Mobile, Plasma Tablet and KDE Games.
