Akademy 2007 Call for Participation
===================================

   The KDE community is getting ready to set a major milestone for the
free desktop with the upcoming release of KDE 4. This will mark a new
level of user experience, technical excellence in the framework and
opportunities for free software on the desktop. The KDE contributors
conference, which is part of Akademy, the world summit of the KDE
community, will be the place to present the newest developments,
long-term strategies or interesting input from the surrounding
communities, projects and societies. Be part of it, present your
thoughts, ideas and work at Akademy 2007 [http://akademy2007.kde.org] in
Glasgow, Scotland.

     Presentations from all KDE contributors - translators,  artists,
coders, writers and organisers - are welcomed by the programme 
committee.  We also welcome presentations by people not directly
contributing to KDE.

     Topics relating to the Free desktop that might be covered at the
conference include:

    *  KDE 4 architecture and technologies
