Kube is a next-gen communication and collaboration client built with QtQuick on top of a high performance, low resource usage core. It provides online and offline access to all your mail, contacts, calendars, notes, todo's and more.

With a strong focus on usability, the team works with designers and UX experts from the ground up, to build a product that is not only visually appealing but also a joy to use.

While the initial focus is on Linux, the desktop and email, the platform is built to run on all desktop systems as well as on mobile devices. It will eventually evolve into a full collaboration client including contacts, calendars, notes, todos, instant messaging etc.

This talk is giving an overview of what Kube is and strives to be, along with some history why this effort has been started in the first place.

The talk will go into some technical detail, but is suitable for anyone interested in an alternative to the currently existing groupware clients.
