Workshop Main Track

Description

The LinuxAppSummit is on its eighth year of existence. In that time frame, we've forged relationships between desktop projects, focused on application development and distribution. Where do we go next?

This is a panel discussion to cover a range of topics discussing where desktops can share a set of standards and where diversification is our strength. How will we tackle upcoming technologies like chatGPT/AI and Machine Learning that have started to become ascendant? Are they an opportunity or are they a threat? What have been our successes in the past eight years, and what should we be focusing on and planning for in the next 2 to 5 years?

This panel discussion will include desktop projects, toolkits, 3rd party developers, and distro partners.

Panel members:
Jason Evangelho (Thunderbird)
Lubos Kocman (SUSE)
Aleix Pol (KDE)
Heather Ellsworth (Ubuntu/Canonical)
Robert McQueen (GNOME)
Felipe Borges (Fedora)
