Announcing "aKademy":
Come to the KDE Developers and Users Conference 2005
(in Málaga/Spain, 26th August to 4th of September)
The KDE Project is proud to announce its plans for the KDE Developers and Users Conference 2005, code-named aKademy. It will be held in Málaga/Spain. It is spanning 9 days with an exciting program of
- Talks and presentations by outstanding KDE developers,
- Joint development, bug-fixing and workshops for all KDE contributors,
- Design and polishing work by all participating KDE enthusiasts
on all aspects concerning the leading Linux and Unix desktop environment. Conference language is English (some talks may be held in Spanish).
KDE has now reached a very mature stage. Years of development have come to fruition. KDE provides a rock-solid architectural foundation for its next phase of evolution. One of the main themes will be to continue the ongoing effort to integrate non-KDE applications and programs into its framework. This will go a long way to provide a fully consistent user experience for Linux and Unix desktop workstations and help all Linux distributions to gain an even larger share on the market place.
Who is it for?
The event is of high interest for
- all active KDE contributors: programmers, artists, documentation writers, translators, promotors and other supporters,
- most KDE power users,
- as well the general public interested in Linux and Unix desktop systems.
All of them will find many very interesting topics covered here. They are all invited to come, attend and participate in our discussions and work.
