Hi list, just a quick heads up, at today's regular KDE SIG IRC meeting the working group decided to change the focus of the upcoming Fedora Plasma product (excerpt from the mission statement [1]):
"The WG aims to create a reliable, user-friendly and powerful operating system for laptops and PC hardware, leveraging the KDE Plasma Workspaces technologies. The system should be attractive to a range of power users and content creators - people who build our community, as well as a platform for development of modern KDE and Qt applications - even in mobile space. There will be add-ons delivered based on our platform; the first such add-on will contain quality educational and scientific software."
The product will focus primarily on providing a powerful, full-featured desktop based on KDE Plasma technologies. We also decided that it would be the best to deliver the scientific stuff as an add-on to the product itself.
We'd therefore like to invite members of the Fedora Scientific SIG and community to participate in creating such addon(s).
Thanks for reading, looking forward to your suggestions and feedback!

I am the maintainer of the Fedora Scientific Spin. I would like to be a part of this. How do I get involved? I would also like to know more about how the add-on is going to be delivered.
Thanks, Amit.
