KDE at LinuxWorldExpo Korea 2006
================================

   On June 5-7th the Korean version of the LinuxWorld Conference and
Expo [http://linuxworldkorea.com] series opened its doors for the first
time in Seoul. The visitors could learn about various Asian
distributions which use KDE including Haansoft
[http://www.haansoft.com/english/]. The Korean team of translators with
its head Cho Sung-Jae ran a booth showing the current KDE as well as
distributing the brand new Kubuntu Dapper CDs
[http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php] to people - which was a great
success. Next to the KDE booth Kolab.org [http://www.kolab.org] was
present where Bernhard Reiter explained their Kolab server and KDE's
Kontact groupware software to interested visitors.

     The Korean KDE translators and users group [http://www.kde.or.kr]
is a small but lively group of enthusiasts. They are meeting regularly
on IRC (channel #kde at the HanIRC server [http://www.hanirc.org]) and
also in real life each Sunday. It was the first time KDE was presented
at an expo in Korea - hopefully we will see more of these events in the
future.

     As part of the conference KDE e.V.'s [http://ev.kde.org] president
Eva Brucherseifer gave a  keynote on the visions and the secrets behind
KDE. As KDE's 10th years anniversary is approaching fast (hint: Oct 14
2006) she used the opportunity to have a look back, evaluate the status
quo and get a glimpse of the future development for KDE4. The slides are
available for download
[http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/promo/presentations/2006_06_LWE_Korea_en/lwe_korea.odp?rev=551085].


     KDE's presence at LWE Korea 2006 was supported by TKGS, the
organisers of LWE Korea, and KDE e.V. Many thanks!
