Camp KDE 2009 Presentations Announced

Monday, 1 December 2008  |  Wolson

At the start of the month the organisation committee for Camp KDE asked for talk proposals for our conference in the Caribbean. We have reviewed the excellent submissions and come to an agreement on selected presentations. Read on for the talks.

We wish to thank all those who entered submissions. In no particular order, the following presentations will be given at Camp KDE 2009 on January 17-18, 2009:

  • Pradeepto Bhattacharya: KDE and Global Culture
  • Kenneth Christiansen: Declarative user interfaces, using Qt and QEdje
  • Marcus Hanwell and Gökmen Göksel: KDE and distros
  • Eugene Trounev: KDE Games and graphics
  • Holger Schroeder: KDE and Windows
  • Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas: KDE and Business Software
  • Jeff Mitchell: Why Enterprises Should Hire Open-Source Programmers
  • Soren Howard: Amarok 2 and automatic playlist generation
  • Sebastian Kugler: Plasma and small formfactor devices
  • Till Adam: Akonadi
  • Orville Bennett: KDE and Mac
  • Bill Hoffman: CMake
  • Zack Rusin: Accelerating Graphics
  • Leo Franchi: Amarok 2 and use of libplasma in applications

These presentations will be scheduled on the Camp KDE 2009 website. We feel that these presentations provide a strong range of topics and interests. In addition, we hope to have many Bird-of-a-feather (BoF) meetings on January 19-20, 2009 on topics from Qt development to BugSquad and many more in-between.

Good selection - Troy Unrau - 2008-11-30

This looks like a pretty good list, Wade. It's nice to see so many people from different areas of KDE's broad ecosystem on board for this event. :) Cheers

Yes, the thanks goes to all of those that replied to the CPF. We'll be posting the schedule for the presentations this week. And more importantly, one of the presenters is the self-proclaimed Duke of Poland. I'm glad that person let us know ahead of time, allowing for additional security precautions.

"Bug" - Paul Jimenez - 2008-12-01

Sorry guys, but there's a small bug in this announcement. It should be "Culture" not "Culuture". Other than that, great!

Fixed, thanks. Danny
