[kde-community] help inform about Akademy

[Carl Symons]

The Akademy schedule was announced earlier today
(https://dot.kde.org/2014/08/04/akademy-2014-program-schedule-fast-fun-inspiring)

Please help get the word out to (possible) users, sponsors and 
attendees. KDE is a prominent player in technology and one of the most 
successful venerable technology communities, so the press, potential 
contributors and others are watching.

In particular, you can encourage others to attend Akademy. A lot of 
effort is put into organizing Akademy; we want to share it with as many 
people as possible.

What you can do...
* blog
* if you don't blog
   - comment on other people's blogs
   - comment on Dot articles about Akademy

About what?
If you have attended Akademy:
- how has Akademy inspired you
- what did you do as a result of being at Akademy
- how is it important to KDE and your KDE contributions
- anything memorable, interesting, inspiring
- what talks you want to attend and why

If you have not attended previously:
- what do you expect
- what do you want to accomplish
- what talks you want to attend and why

Akademy is a premier KDE event. As an offline, face-to-face gathering, 
it helps to build emotional bonds and personal commitments--"the two key 
traits that distinguish a healthy community from a collection of passive 
[participants]." [1]

In other words, as Akademy goes, so goes KDE.

Help make a difference in KDE by getting the word out about Akademy.

Thank you
Carl
