you find videos from akademy.
Thank you very much!
I can't wait for the official vids now :)
For thos who don't know where this is exactly happening:
The University of Applied Sciences St. Augustin is near Bonn in Germany
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!
PS: Here's my report from Froscon 2007:

Free hugs for KDE and its developers!
...with a car? (that works and isn't burnt out.)

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.
