[Kde-finance-apps] Talk Proposal for Akademy 2010

[Klaas Freitag]

Hi,

find attached a proposal for a talk on Akademy 2010. We have to 
send it by friday which is kind of cool because we can discuss 
it on friday before we actually send it. 

My proposal is not very long because it is hard to write about 
something which is not yet really there, where we for example 
not have a proper name etc. (that said, I am not really happy 
with "KDE Finance Stack"). Anyway, we will sort it out :)

I can do the talk as I will be on Akademy anyway but I am also 
fine with Arnaud doing it or we do it together.

regards,

Klaas

Talk Length: 30 Minutes

Title: The KDE Finance Apps Group

Abstract:

Starting at Akademy 2008 in Belgium, people around finance related
applications started to talk about how collaboration within the 
KDE community could happen. Two years later, the first sprint
of the group happens to discuss the KDE Finance Apps Group.

This talk gives an overview of the involved applications, their
roadmaps and people. 

It tells about the concept of the KDE Finance Stack which is a 
commonly used lib on the one hand but a framework for applications 
to share financial data on the other to stop implementing financial
core functionality in each and every application. The aim is to 
focus on a good framework of specialized applications sharing data 
with each other in the finance, business and office space. With
that the KDE software compilation has another gem integrated for 
the good of the users.

The talk will give an insight of the core concepts of the Finance
Stack and will report on the current implementation status and the
plan. 

From the application programmers point of view the talk will highlight
why the KDE Software Platform is a so great fundament to work on 
and also name a few challenges.
