KDE's Streamlined Onboarding Goal: Status, Akademy 2018 events and 1st Sprint

[Neofytos Kolokotronis]

Hi everyone,

With Akademy coming up, it's a good opportunity to share an update on 
this goal and related events.

If you want to catch up with what happened so far and my thoughts on the 
topic, you can have a look at my latest blog post: 
http://neofytosk.com/post/an-update-on-kdes-onboarding-goal-akademy-and-the-sprint-/

We are also in the process of arranging the 1st Sprint, with the goal 
being "Making it quick and easy to set up a development environment". We 
want to make it simple and straightforward for people to start working 
on KDE software. The current plan is to hold the sprint in 
Athens,Greece, some time in Autumn 2018. If you have the skills and 
experience to help with this task, do join us here:

If you are attending Akademy 2018, I'll be giving a talk about 
"Streamlined onboarding of new contributors" on Saturday the 11th at 
11:00 and I would be happy if you could make it.
