Akademy 2010 in the News

Monday, 12 July 2010  |  Stuart Jarvis

Akademy is barely over, but tech news sites and mainstream publications are already reporting on events in Tampere.

DistroWatch on Nokia's Akademy Keynote

Popular Linux and BSD distribution tracking website DistroWatch has a report on Nokia's keynote presentation at this year's Akademy conference. The report covers the views of Valtteri Halla (Nokia's Director of MeeGo Software) on how MeeGo will succeed by working with communities such as KDE. It also reports on how KDE's Plasma framework shares many goals with MeeGo, particularly the use of a single codeset across many applications and has news of early ports of KDE software to mobile devices.

Read the full story in DistroWatch Weekly.

Heise and The H Link to Akademy Videos

The H and its German language sister publication Heise both have links to the videos of Valtteri Halla's keynote and the main Akademy website videos page.

Der Standard Reports on Keynotes

Austrian daily newspaper Der Standard also has a report (in German, you can also try a machine translation) describing Aaron Seigo's call for elegance and Valtteri Halla's MeeGo presentation.

Sponsors Linux Magazine Have Several Reports

Our media partners, Linux Magazine, also have a number of reports from Akademy in their German edition. Again, if you can't read German and are feeling lucky then you can try the machine translations.
