LliureX is an educational distro by the local government in Valencia based on KDE neon and KDE Plasma, due for release next month.

They are at the Plasma sprint and have been warmly received.

Meanwhile over in Madrid last night they won the #OpenExpo19 #OpenAwards 2019! https://twitter.com/OpenExpoEurope/status/1141744682650804224

The Plasma team and Usability team have reached Casa @slimbook for a week long sprint in Valencia.

Today Plasma folks worked on lots of Wayland stuff, virtual keyboards and input methods, discussing future plans for LTS releases and Qt 6.

KDE is at The OpenExpo Europe 2019 in Madrid today.

Visit the community village to try out Plasma on Slimbook, Pinebook, handheld and phone!
