I attended KDE India Conf (conf.kde.in, CKI) 2025 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. My last and first CKI was in 2020 in Delhi. Had written a blog then.

There was a CKI last year in Pune but I was unable to attend it. So it’s been 5 years. The constant from then and now is Bhushan :)

My talk

Title of the talk was “Learnings from creating an input method for KDE”. My primary desktop environment since 2018 is KDE Plasma. Varnam input method was created to use in KDE. The talk was about the learnings of creating the input method.

I attended my first KDE India conf ! conf.kde.in 2020 happened in Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi during January 17-19, 2020.

I started contributing to KDE since 2019 in localization as part of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing. The KDE localization process is still on SVN and it’s difficult for a newbie to localize. I simplified it for the Malayalam localization by setting up an easy to use web interface with Weblate.

I attended #CKI2020 as a speaker.
