Join the "Embedded and Mobile Day" at Akademy 2008, August 12, Belgium
Hello, In the time honored tradition of the KDE community we organize special side-events during our yearly World Summit. A big part of the mind share in the Open Source world the past year has gone to Mobile and Embedded platforms; where the technical and Freedom aspects seem to favor our preferred software development model over proprietary methods. This is the reason why the EmSys research group and KDE organize this meeting of interested parties in the context of the major community event, Akademy 2008. The "Embedded and Mobile Day" will feature several talks and a closing panel discussion about the achievements and opportunities of Open Desktop and other Open Source projects in the Small Form-Factor world. The presentations should be oriented towards an audience "knowledgeable" about embedded development, not the general KDE developers. Meanwhile KDE and other Open Source hackers will be testing consumer devices and the desktop applications they are meant to interface with during a "plugfest", for which anyone is most welcome to provide hardware contributions. Topics can include, but are in no way limited to: * Embedded Linux * Mobile and integrated GUI's * System Integration * Embedded Development tools and distro's * Innovation based on Open Source and Open Desktop technology More details on the website at http://akademy.kde.org/events/emmobile.php . Visit http://akademy2008.kde.org for info about Akademy 2008. This is your chance to contribute and share your ideas, project or demonstrations by sending a topic proposal to [EMAIL PROTECTED] before June 16th. Feel free to forward this email to as many people as possible.
