[Tobias Hunger]

Hello mailing list readers,

Decibel version 0.2.0 was recently released and with this the basis of
our realtime communications framework is available and working.

To celebrate this and to speed up development and improve communication
with related projects we are now planing to have a

Decibel Hackathon

on March, 17./18. 2007 in Darmstadt, Germany.

I hereby invite all interested developers. It would be nice to see a
couple of new faces, so this is a nice time to get your feet wet wrt.
development for KDE;-)

Will, Michael and Volker already have expressed their willingness to
attend, so that we can discuss requirements integration of Decibel and
Kopete as well as how to store volatile contact information (like
presence state) in Akonadi (or outside it).

The preliminary agenda looks like this:
