WOW — is all I can think about this years aKademy.
I skipped Glasgow and I came back this year because aKademy is always a big boost in energy. I really missed it last year. It is just incredible how many smart, interesting and energetic people build the KDE community.
The trip started with meeting Kevin in Frankfurt and others in Bruxelles and then even more in Mechelen. And the fact I really liked was me having to walk up to the hostel after meeting about 20 people with blue lanyards and one with blue hair until I found the next face I knew. (Ok, I am cheating :) I knew Lubos)
The KDE community grew a lot and I loved sitting outside or in the lecture halls somewhere and just watch all the conversation and fun and hacking going on.
There were all the other things making aKademy the great experience it always is to me. Interesting people to talk to. Interesting topics to talk about. Interesting discussions to listen to. Interesting beer to drink. Interesting food to eat. (do I sound like Spock already?)
A Big Thank You to Baart, Wendy and the other wearers of the golden lanyard!
Cheers to all the incredible KDE people making this community happen.
I did not get much work done, but when was that ever possible at aKademy :) I started working on the backlog for worldwide. planet got some love, waiting for others to finish things now, and I made some plans for docs.
Sitting in Cologne now. Having a beer on a hotel balcony, enjoying the sun and hacking on designs and stuff. Fresh energy ftw.
P.S. People I owe a beer, details of when and where I can pay my debts in the comments please ;)
I volunteered to integrate the slides sent to me into the akademy webpage. Some remarks on that.
I only received two presentations so far – hooray to Benjamin Reed (talk) and Richard Moore (talk) – so there is still room for improvement.
KDE Worldwide got an update. Yeah!
Sorry for not updating it for so long, but I had to rebuild the toolchain and too many things interfered.
KDE Worldwide will get some major updates over the next days, bringing it into modern times. You will be suprised :)
Providing Marble and Google Earth compatible data files is just the start of upcoming things.
I have some cleanup to do, since some people ended up on the wrong side of the world or in the middle of an ocean. I will improve verifing your entry a lot.
So current data, nice features coming and my head full of future plans for the upcoming new KDE website. World domination here we come.
Since I was to lazy to count the people, I counted the laptops running during the accessibility talk.
fiftyeight!
And there were more people not running one.
Room stuffed and Olaf giving a very good presentation. I love aKademy!
