I'm way behind the curve when it comes to Plasma and KF5 at the moment. 
But I'm now trying to get on top of it all and develop a plan for Python 
bindings in KDE 5. At the very least, I'll be moving to from Python 2 to 
Python 3 for applets in KDE 5.

That above stuff above is exactly the kind of information I want to hear 
about. I'll be at FOSDEM next month and more than happy to chat further.

cheers,
