I would encourage you to get Plasma Mobile packaged for Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, Mageia and the other community based Linux distributions. Having a great UI might encourage folks to port Linux to more devices and do reverse engineering of the blobs.

Wishful thinking?

That's exactly my point: We do not lack people who encourage us to do something. We do not lack project managers. We do lack people who are willing to get their hands dirty, who scratch their own itch. Quite simply, we have enough places that would greatly enhance our outreach, and packaging / integration in the distribution is simply lower on the list than having at least one working prototype, well integrated, and being able to develop software for at all. No use putting work into packaging for 5 different distros when that means that we don't have time left to actually work on the code.
