Let's talk about KDE at FOSDEM 2019! :)

[Ivana Isadora Devcic]

Hi everyone,

one of the biggest FOSS events is slowly approaching. FOSDEM 2019 will take
place in Brussels, Belgium on February 2 and 3.

KDE will have a booth at the event (yay!), but we could also represent the
community by giving talks about our projects in different Developer Rooms.

If you're interested in giving a talk about a KDE-related topic, that's
fantastic!
Here are some suggestions for where you could submit your talk proposals:

Open Source Design Devroom

Deadline: December 1, 2018

What you could talk about: our Usability goal and the UX/UI improvements
made as part of the goal; our HIG and the shiny new website (
https://hig.kde.org/)...

Distributions Devroom

What you could talk about: KDE neon-related topics; collaboration with
different distributions and their communities; building, testing, and
packaging our software; release process improvements...

Graphics DevRoom

finalizing the schedule

graphics drivers and how to handle them...
