Hi all, Over the last couple of months me and Aditya worked on a project meant for smart tvs based on Plasma, which would become a KDE project. The code for this is on invent (https://invent.kde.org/adityam/plasma-big-launcher) The topic of the project is: * runs on small arm devices (we'll release an image ready for raspberry pi 4) * it shows the user a big fancy looking menu to launch bigscreen-tailored apps (being kodi, a web browser, a game...) * it's tightly integrated with Mycroft: it can be controlled with voice (works with remote controls which have an integrated mic) * as first demo, it has a fullscreen Yuoutube app that can be controlled both via a remote control, or completely via voice alone. we don't know yet a final eta when we'll be finally happy with the raspberry image but is realistically in the next couple of months, keeping in mind it would be an early "beta". We would like to craft some kind of announce by then that can get people interested in the project, could the promo team help with this? -- Marco Martin
