==== Ubuntu, Sailfish and Plasma Active cooperation for sharing common [[API]]s ====
Teams of [[Canonical Ltd.]], Jolla and [[KDE]] are talking about using common Application Programming Interfaces ([[API]]s) in their work on 
U[[user Iinterface ([[UI]]]] (UI) design. 

Sailfish and [[Plasma Active]] workspace use Qt 5′s QML – a JavaScript-based language for the design of UI applications. The resulting interface elements are similar, but are not currently compatible with each other. 

Both teams are working with KDE towards a common architecture, preventing further fragmentation of mobile Linux. This could eventually allow these three systems to share HTML5 apps. 

The idea of cooperation idea to have common APIs has born in a chat on KDE’s #active IRC channel, and it can have a huge influence on the future of all three projects. 

Zoltán Balogh, developer at Canonical, confirmed that the discussion about APIs was underway, and invited anyone interested in QML to participate. “Clearly a productive collaboration between communities and companies would be something revolutionary,” he wrote.

The proposed cooperation attempts to not only simplify UI development, but establish long-term links between Canonical, Jolla and KDE staff including "other aspects of the bigger puzzle such as common package formats and delivery strategies,” wrote Aaron Seigo from KDE on his blog. 

This can lead to the situation when a single app could work and look native on both [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]] and [[Sailfish]] mobile operating systems, as well as Linux distributions using [[Plasma Active]]. This would attract more developers to the platforms and support the ecosystem, resulting in more apps and better effects for developers due to bigger markets. <ref>{{cite web|last=Smolaks|first=Max|title=Mobile Linux Rivals Ubuntu And Sailfish Could Share APIs|url=http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/linux-ubuntu-sailfish-plasma-active-103978|work=TechWeekEurope|accessdate=14 February 2013}}</ref&g(contracted; show full)[[Category:Mobile phone companies of Finland]]
