FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. You don't need to register. Just turn up and join in! FOSDEM takes place at the ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth. If you aren't there, you may watch the live streams from the main tracks and developer rooms.

    Nice, shame that events like this are too niche to ever be even vaguely near me. The best I get here is the occasional beer, cider or gin festival.

    @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is that a touch screen device? Is there working OSK for KDE? Still forced to use GNOME on all Touch Screen devices

    It's been there for a long time. 🙃 I think some distros come by default with maliit keyboard, you just need to enable it, or install then enable. Personally I am using corekeyboard, it's the only one with modifier keys (somehow neither gnome nor kde default ones even allow to modifiers).

    @nesc I tested both but both are neiher full sized keyboards nor work wit input methods like fcitx or have issues with key combintion and stuff like that.

    I tested 12 OSK for both GNOME and Plasma and this here was the only one that was actually able to replace a full size keyboard in all circumstances

    Sadly it only works with GNOME :(

    Osk situation is terrible in general, true, with wayland migration it became even worse. But for basics default keyboards for gnome and kde work.

    @nesc @vamp898

    KDE devs are working on this. It has become a priority of the "We care about your Input" goal.

    We are currently working on implementing a new virtual keyboard called QVK that will built into Plasma:
