KDE Release Party StuttgartBjörn of the FSFE initially triggered the organization of a joint KDE 4.2 Release Party and FSFE Fellow Meeting in Stuttgart. I'm very happy that our local team grew quickly so everything went very smooth. So Friday it was time to meet and celebrate. At this point we had no idea how many people would show up.
After these initial hurdles we happily moved inside (getting warm again, yay). I have to thanks everyone for helping so much, getting the projector set up, posters pinned to the wall and being great! While everyone got stuff done I finally managed to my slides in place so I could do the official welcome.
The official part then continued with Frank talking about getting involved with KDE and our community. Sven finished with a live presentation of Amarok 2. Discussions lasted late into the night. Still, with so many people I sadly didn't manage to talk to everyone personally, so there's still some catching up left to do. One idea that Kurt Pfeifle came up with is to have regular local KDE meetings. I think it's a great idea. We are enough people to have a good basis and I'd love to get more people involved. I think it would be great to have some workshops - for example how to start translating or hacking on parts of KDE. If you're interested in meeting KDE people in and around Stuttgart, please let me know (my mail is still my lastname @kde.org). Hopefully Ingo will organize another Linux Day at the Hochschule der Medien soon, so we'll get together again. Kudos to Jörg for getting us a projector on short notice! And especially Björn who did lots of the organizational work and starting it in the first place! Thanks Frank and Sven for giving interesting talks! Now I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at FOSDEM next week :) |
