The main purpose of my trip was to find opportunities for sway and KDE to work together on improving the Linux desktop. Naturally, the main topic of discussion was interopability of software written for each of our projects. I brought the wlroots layer-shell protocol to the table seeking their feedback on it, as well as reviewing how their desktop shell works today. From our discussions we found a lot of common ground in our designs and needs, as well as room for improvement in both of our approaches.
