Competition (Im)possible at aKademy
===================================

   Attention aKademy [http://conference2004.kde.org/] participants! The
mission, if you choose to accept it, is to update at least a single
unwritten entry in the new KDE User Guide. You can see the current
content here [http://users.ox.ac.uk/~chri1802/kde/userguide-tng]. The
best submission received by Saturday 12 noon will win a book from the
great collection of O'Reilly [http://www.oreilly.com/] books (including
a signed Samba book, C++ Pocket References, and the entire Linux
Webserver CD Bookshelf and much more to choose from). Read on for full
details.

     This competition is only open to people at aKademy - we will be
running similar open competitions in the future. Submit your work in
plain text to kde-doc-english at kde.org before midday on Saturday (28th).
Take a look at the content in Part I to get an idea of what we're
looking for.

     Rumors suggest that entries for Part II, Chapter 12 "Tinkering
Under the Hood", covering the undocumented wonders of KDE's config
files, daemons and underlying technologies, are in with a great chance.

     The full book list, kindly donated by O'Reilly, is as follows:

    * Programming Qt (signed by Kalle, the author)
    * Linux in a Nutshell
    * Webmaster in a Nutshell
    * Linux Security Cookbook
    * Linux Server Hacks
    * Linux Pocket Guide
    * Using Samba (signed by John H. Terpstra)
    * Free as in Freedom

     For more information, contact Lauri Watts, Philip Rodrigues or Tom
Chance.

     This announcement will not self-destruct in 5 seconds.
