Unfortunately I couldn't be there, so I can only extend my thanks to everyone involved. Great job!
KDE at FOSDEM 2017 wrapup
FOSDEM 2017 Wrapup We had a pleasingly successful FOSDEM this year with a KDE stall and Desktop devroom and KDE Slimbook launch party meal/drinks. We had 19 people at the Saturday party. I asked for 200euro of food and charged people 20euro each which worked perfectly with enough money left over to buy everyone a beer. Sadly no women at the party again which was commented on social media, la presidencia stood us up for VLC. It was at http://www.magic-rubens.com/ which is owned by the same guy who runs the venue I've used in previous years but that's currently under repair http://www.lepaon.be/ We ran a stall, only 1 table again which is tight for space but we managed. Our notes say we sold: KDE India 2-shirts €20 24 Vinyl Sticker €2 6 20 Years Book €12 12 Neon Shirts €25 6 Cap €5 4 USB drives €5 6 Canvas bags €5 3 Lanyards€26 Mug €5 4 Neon Fez€56 Part of the Solution t-shirt €15 2 Krita DVD €15 4 These figues are not accurate, unfortunately we often forgot to write down what when sold so they are a large under-estimate. We had a surplus of €935.40 which I've given to Lydia to bank. Stall demos were Slimbook, Docker images, Snappy package, Plasma Mobile and WikitoLearn all of which were popular. We had signs with an intro on it for the stall. The fezes gave us more visibility and despite David Edmundson's skepticism about their connection to anything whatsoever KDE they did sell out. I spent about €120 on KDE stickers from Handylabels which we gave out for free and were very popular so we ran out by Saturday afternoon, maybe ration them a bit next year. I only got to one talk on Subsurface which had a full room. Other KDE talks were on Slimbook, Kube and Flatpak/Snappy which was a good proportion of all the desktop room talks. Pau managed the room all himself and deserves hugs. FOSDEM continues to grow and be an impressive event. Looking at various unscientific metrics KDE presence at the event continues to remain strong and steady even while the rest of the Free Software movement continues to grow.
