aKademy 2006 - we want your papers.

[Matthias Welwarsky]

Hi guys (and gals, of course),

not sure how many of you read The Dot regularely, but the Call for 
Participation for this years KDE World Summit and Conference is open since 
some time now. We're starting to see the presentation proposals come in, but 
what we're lacking is technical contributions. Right now it seems like the 
conference will be dealing mostly with marketing, cooperation and stuff. What 
I'm missing is the ground breaking technical contributions that we used to 
have in the past years.

So hurry up, you can't be that busy with hacking, I'm sure you have something 
cooking that you just _have_ to tell everybody about. The conference website 
is here: http://conference2006.kde.org, and the CfP is published there: 
http://conference2006.kde.org/conference/call.php.

Go ahead and write to akademy-talks-2006 at kde.org, we want you there!

regards,

Matthias Welwarsky
Program Committee
