  KDE 4.0 Release Event Contest
KDE Official News Posted by Wade on Thursday 04/Oct/2007, @06:58
from the why-should-you-be-there? dept.
The KDE 4.0 Release Event Team is pleased to announce a contest for the KDE 4.0 Release Event. The winners of this contest will be flown out to Mountain View, California on January 17-19, 2008. Hotel and meals will be covered for them during the event. Read on for information about the contest.

The purpose of this contest is to find the most enthusiastic KDE community member and reward him or her with a ticket to the KDE 4.0 Release Event held at the Google Headquarters at Mountain View, CA. There, he or she will be representing the community together with the other KDE community attendees. The winner will speak briefly at the event to share the spirit of their winning submission.

To prove that you are the most enthusiastic KDE community member, answer the question: "Why should you be at the KDE 4.0 Release Event?". Entries should be a maximum of 1,000 words, and anyone is free to send in a submission. You can send it in plain-text or another open format to release-event@kde.org. Entries will be accepted from midnight October 1, 2007 until midnight October 21, 2007.

The contest entries will be reviewed by the KDE e.V. board and the Marketing Working Group. The winner will be announced on October 29, 2007. As usual, bribery of the judges is not only allowed, but recommended.

Funny idea, congratulations on that.

      Stupid question.

      The answer is that he is overload with work load, to earn his living.
      And read slashdot.

      What else?

    Right. But that will not help you (or me) get in to the event, I guess. :-(

      As long as we end up with enough room (personally, I'm sure there will be), if you're in the Mountainview area and want to attend I doubt it'll be a problem.

        That would be great! Would we sign up somewhere or would you just tell Google to admit Googlers to the event?

          We will be announcing open registration in a few weeks. We'd like to ensure that press and industry, as well as KDE contributors get the hotel rooms first, and what's left over will be open to anyone willing to find a way out there :)

          Cheers

KDE 4.0 Release Event Contest

Because I want to witness the release of KDE 4.0, that marks the beginning of the integration process which will bring the powerful new technologies of this KDE 4.0 event. A release that marks the stabilization of the current codebase, and aimed to polish and fixes the bugs.

    Luca... don't mind these other folks and their comments. English speaking or not, I think anyone who chooses KDE is alright in my book. Keep it up and maybe someday you'll get to come out here to sunny Silicon Valley.
