Yes, I also hope so. We have big potential with what we're doing.

Looks like I have to give the talk as I am the only one so far being in
Tampere? I will do if you want, but you guys should think again if you 
really want to miss 24 hours daylight per day ;-)
But you guys promised to help with materials, thats great and I will come 
back to you.

Absolutely, very professional, I enjoyed it live.

The thing is that applications which are not in the core of KDE like 
Konqueror and such seem not so much interesting for the people at Akademy.
Understandable on the one hand, because apps serve for a special purpose 
and not all hackers are interested in that purpose, but on the other 
hand applications are what make projects like KDE successful on the long 
run.  Many people in KDE are aware of that. We are in a good position to 
work on generating more interest in the KDE community. We do not need to 
worry about users, they are interested anyways.

Yes, it is on the one hand, on the other for me there are a lot of evenings
where I care for the (sleeping) children and have time to hack.
