    Re: Location

    Hell, I might go over there. 5 EUR are not exactly the amount of money for which I'll have to cancel my next holiday, and the university is quite near to where I live. And Tannenbaum is having a speech too!

    And since KDE 4.1 is wonderful, I really want to have a little more insight on features and development now :)

    Last year's Froscon was a blast, so I'm really looking forward to this year's too, especially the social event :D

    Meet me there!

    Were was the KDE room?

    Just back from FroSCOn, but I couldn't find the KDE room there, and I'm on the go to the next appointment, so I couldn't attend the lectures :(

    The only thing I saw was a kubuntu booth, said hi to them instead :)
