Hi Kai, It's great to know we have someone working on this, it's a shame I didn't know earlier when first discussing attending the summit with the OpenPrinting guys, it would have been great to have someone there who knows what they are talking about :-) I guess I have a lot of reading to catch up on to understand how this all works and hangs together, then hopefully I can make some meaningful comments at the summit on what KDE would like to see happen. Something I think I'll need to understand is why the CPD (or any print dialog) would need to have direct support for different colour management systems (Oyranos, colord), is there a way to abstract it via a common standard? Thanks for your work! John.
