This is a blog post from the KDE Plasma project about their recent sprint in Graz, Austria. Here's a summary of what was discussed:
**Telemetry**: The team decided to revamp their telemetry system, which collects data on user behavior. They want to make it more transparent and user-friendly, like Steam's Hardware Survey. Users will be prompted to participate in surveys with clear instructions on what data will be collected. This will help the team understand user needs better.
**Activities**: The team discussed the Activities feature, which allows users to configure different virtual desktops for various activities (e.g., work, home, leisure). They brainstormed ways to improve it, including introducing a system service that can provide multiple profiles or sessions for any app. This would allow users to customize their experience without relying on apps implementing their own profile features.
**UX improvements**: The team discussed several UX issues in the current telemetry system, including its GUI and web interfaces. They agreed to create a better web UX and make the aggregated data publicly available, like Valve's Steam Hardware Survey results.
**Other topics**: The sprint also covered other topics, such as improving the 3rd-party content distribution mechanism (e.g., Pling), addressing UX issues in Discover, and brainstorming ideas for future improvements to the Plasma desktop.
Overall, the post highlights the team's efforts to improve the user experience, make the project more transparent and inclusive, and create a better environment for collaboration and innovation.
