Akademy 2007 Call for Location and Organisation
===============================================

   While preparations for Akademy 2006 are in full swing, next year's
annual meeting of the KDE community, Akademy 2007, is sending out a Call
for Location and Organisation. Akademy is made possible mainly because
of financial contributions by corporations. These corporations prepare
their buget for 2007 in autumn of 2006, in order to be able to secure
funding for aKademy 2007 we need to start organising aKademy 2007 early
to be able to apply for sponsorship soon.

     The event consists of the general assembly of the KDE e.V., a KDE
developer conference and a multi-day hacking session.

     If you are interested in hosting this large and exciting free
software event, please consider to submit a proposal to the board of the
KDE e.V. which will act as co-host.  Make sure you read the requirements
for the Akademy location [http://ev.kde.org/akademy/requirements.php]
which describes what we need from organisers.

     If you want to apply as host for Akademy 2007 please submit a
concrete proposal to kde-ev-board at kde.org. This proposal should include
information about how the requirements for the location will be
addressed, who will be the local organising team and a responsible
person acting as contact to the KDE e.V. and head of the local
organising team.

     The deadline for submitting an Akademy 2007 proposal is August 31
2006.

     If there are any questions please feel free to send them to Tink
Bastian, she will answer any questions you might have about organising
an Akademy at tink at kde.org or the board of the KDE e.V. at
kde-ev-board at kde.org.
