Akademy 2007 Will be Held in Glasgow
====================================

   The annual KDE World Summit, Akademy [http://akademy2007.kde.org/],
has found a home for 2007 in the vibrant city of Glasgow. The week-long
event for contributors to the leading Free Desktop project will be held
from 30th June to 7th July 2007 in Scotland's largest city. Our hosts
will be the Department of Computer & Information Sciences
[http://www.cis.strath.ac.uk/] at the University of Strathclyde. There
are three sub-events: a contributors conference, the KDE e.V. annual
general assembly and a week long hacking session that offers the
opportunity to discuss all sorts of things face-to-face. We also look
forward to the chance to mingle with local KDE enthusiasts.

     A local team led by Kenny Duffus [http://www.duffus.org/] will
organise the conference, where KDE enthusiasts from around the world
will converge to share experiences, code and socialise in "Scotland's
friendly city". "As a long time user of KDE, on both student and staff
desktops, we are proud to support KDE by hosting this conference" said
Richard Connor, Head of the Department of Computer & Information
Sciences at the University of Strathclyde.
