Location - Philipp - 2008-08-21

For thos who don't know where this is exactly happening: The University of Applied Sciences St. Augustin is near Bonn in Germany

Re: Location - fhd - 2008-08-21

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 :)

Looking forward - Mark Kretschmann - 2008-08-21

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! PS: Here's my report from Froscon 2007: http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/480-I-survived-Froscon-2007!-...barely.html

Were was the KDE room? - fhd - 2008-08-23

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 :)

it was on the second floor, well hidden in the far bof corridor.
