For details: https://freenode.live/ There's not been a lot of community uptake on this; I think it would be cool, though. So, c'mon, who is in the UK and up for a couple of days of Bristol, giving a talk maybe, rubbing shoulders with Debian and other friends. I'm willing to coordinate a booth, handle getting stuff and swag there, I could give a talk or two, but I can't do it alone. Christian, how are talks (lightning talks, I presume), what kind of topics are you looking for? The conference schedule is a bit light still.

Re: freenode #live conference in Bristol: speakers, booth?
Hi Adriaan, List, as said, last time it was David Edmundson who came, not sure if he'd like to do it again, but I think he did great work. As for talks: basically everything from online privacy to free software, so I'm sure plenty of things KDE offers would be on-topic. As I read earlier today, technically the CFP is closed, but we are still looking for talks. As I am currently on a bit of holiday: if you could do me a huge favour and poke christel (christel at freenode dot net) directly and get in touch with her as soon as you can, i'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance and kind regards, Christian Am Freitag, 7.

ELC conference
Hey community, The Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) is in Edinburgh this year, and we'd like to be there with a booth. This is an industry conference, with lots of things on the edge of what we usually do: embedded, automotive, aviation .. but all stuff that we have some experience in, and in any case as a community we're a good "incubator" of C++ and Qt programmers and other contributors, which is valuable to industry as well. To run a booth, we'll need people "on the ground" at the event. I'm willing to do the booth coordination, making sure that stuff gets to the venue, etc. but we also need warm bodies to do demo work, explanations, and just to be there and smile while the booth is open. There's also materials to be made and stuff to be printed -- I'll delegate that :) It's a lot like last year's Qt World summit event, a few days of hard work, with a payoff in making KDE shine in areas that it's not normally all that visible. So, who's available (24-26 october 2018) and willing? [ade] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
QtWS conference
Hi community, This year QtWS (the Qt World Summit) is a slightly smaller affair than it was last year, 2 days in Berlin. Once again we'd like to be there with a booth, so that we can show off our dedication -- and remind people that KDE is a constant within the Qt ecosystem. QtWS is an industry conference, it's surprising how people either know us really well or not at all, so that's why we went all-out last year for a really polished presence. We'd like to do that again this year. I'm willing to coordinate a booth, make sure stuff gets to the venue, etc. but we'll need warm bodies there to smile, hand out pamphlets, explain the KDE manifesto, etc. etc. Take a look at last year's team, that was great. So, who's available (5-6 december) and willing? [ade] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
