 Hello, we've arrived in Milan here for the Kedi Academy conference and we've been having a range of fine talks this morning and We're now having a coffee break Italy of course the home of small but perfectly formed and full of flavor coffees And I'm going to try and saw in Kedi Neon on this beautiful laptop that Tuxedo have given us So I've downloaded the ISO I've used ISO image writer to put it on there, which is our project. That's still a little bit in development But we had good work From the summer of code student to get get that moving forward and we've now got a beta out of it So we put that on the USB stick one of the hardest bits about For new people to understand how to reinstall their operating system Which is quite a faffy advanced thing to do is how to get into that firmware in this case You have to press F2 lots of times That's quite a obscure thing to do and we had to Google it But fortunately it seems to have worked and it's got quite fancy firmware as well this Tuxedo computer It's got graph code and it's got a mouse and it's very nice So beating up on this I Was pleased to see the shiny Plymouth screen working not pleased to see scarier messages coming out of the kernel That's the sort of issue that would be nice to tidy up This is the unstable edition of Katie neon we build Katie neon this edition Direct from get master builds. So it's all the bugs that people commit directly. They're right here fresh and raw and Hopefully our automated QA helps them Find and fix the bugs quickly So look in this laptop. I'm really liking it the nice full-size or near full-size keyboard really nice It's got a matte screen. I'm a fan of matte screens shiny screens Can't be doing those because they just reflect too much You've got all the display Possibilities HDMI DisplayPort and DisplayPort over USB-C and all the USB possibilities USB-C USB-C 3.1 USB a with 3.1 adapter another USB a with 3.1 adapter you've got SD card you've got an MMC card as well as ethernet and microphone microphone and headphone Well, that's installing who we've got around come say hello on camera Hello, who are you? What do you do in Katie? That's my mobile fabulous and what's your name? What do you do for Katie? I don't do much for Katie And you've come here in order to get into the buzz and we need to find things for you to Take an interest in and so that you can get involved in helping out the Katie community, right? good We've had talks this morning where we relaunched the goals for Katie We reviewed the previous goals that have happened for the last two years usability and The other ones that I can't remember now and we launched new set of goals Including my own one all about the apps where I tried to make the point that Katie makes these great applications But we don't quite do the finishing work to bring it to the end user and with new packaging formats We now can do that and we should embrace these these new ways that users will be used to will be expected to through app stores to get it Get their software to the user We've also got the other goal of Wayland so Katie Wayland it's been going on for a while now is now a defined goal that we will have to get Katie working on Wayland by default as our preferred display manager and the test for when we can switch to Wayland and recommend that by default is that there's no Visible change for the user. So it's the least exciting thing for the users because it should just work and be transparent and be completely uninteresting for the user while also being more secure and Allowing for the possibilities as they get built in So reinstalling stuff fresh always gives me a chance to look at the experience side of the box and see Any rough edges that are in it such as the old scary kernel message showing up there? Kind of thing that we would like to tidy up slick and fast voila Kitty plasma a lightweight desktop installed on this lovely tuxedo machine now. I need to explore the hardware further and Work out how to make sure it works with the all the many cores we have in it and all the and the Nvidia card as well
