Brainfart ahead. We come up with a plan for a headless module for Plasma, that basically sets up a local server, installs kolab, owncloud, jabber, your own image sharing service, etc. and whatever else is needed to take the cloud private, and offer that as an option you can install on a random device, connect storage. (Could even be a mediacenter that is running both, plasma-mediacenter and the server packages. Such a relatively constrained target device could be made to work really well with the device, and provide the basic needs for circumventing a lot of privacy problems around centralized web services, targeting the increased needs for really private communication. On the client side is entirely integrated in the UI through predefined setups for Kontact, KPeople and KTelepathy, a file sync client. Configuration and other metadata could possibly be synced across devices safely that way as well, and possibly even be rolled out to clients in more enterprise setups, or serve as a remote control channel for different devices (media playback, etc.). -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
