Description

We'll look at KDE Plasma's magnificent crash reporting system and how it enables users to submit crash reports conveniently. Through the amount of aggregated crashes, developers can prioritize issues correctly and get enough data points to diagnose and resolve the underlying causes.

From collecting cores, over preparing the submission, to eventual presentation to the developer, we will look at the entire journey a crash takes in KDE Plasma.
