There was a suggestion to interview Akademy Award 2012 winners. From
the Akademy Dot story...
Lydia Pintscher for the unbelievable amount of work she puts into KDE,
especially the effort and care she lavishes on the Google Summer of
Code and the Season of KDE. KDE is the largest participant in the
Google Summer of Code; there is no way KDE could handle that without
Lydia. And she does this in addition to being an active KDE e.V. Board
member. Incredible! Congratulations Lydia!

Kévin Ottens and Nicolás Alvarez received the Jury award together.
Their work on the future of KDE has long term value and importance.
Nicolás received the award for his work on the conversion of KDE
projects to git, ushering in a new age of agility for our coding
teams. Kévin was recognized for his work on KDE Frameworks 5, giving a
new lease of life to KDE applications and desktop.

Camilla Boeman received the Application Award in recognition of her
work on Calligra Words. In the past two years, she has brought
together a team of developers spread from Europe to India who are
dedicated to Calligra Words, and the team delivered the first release.
Congratulations to Camilla, her team and all Calligra people.

Carl
