Subject: Consider hosting Akademy
Message:
Hosting an event is a big and significant way of contributing to Free
Software. One of the biggest challenges in international distributed teams
like KDE is communicating effectively with one another. Akademy, the yearly
global conference of the KDE community, solves that by bringing the community
together in one place, allowing us to share what we have been up to and have
it reach its potential.

By organising Akademy we are then turning one of our weak points into a
strength. We get to work together like a local team does, while remaining
flexible and geographically distributed for most of the rest of the year. It
becomes therefore, one of the best ways for Free Software to thrive in your
area.

# What is Akademy

While Akademy has evolved over the years, its main structure remains similar
over the years: We have two conference days, the KDE e.V. Annual General
Meeting and few days with smaller meetings and trainings. Akademy is open for
everyone to join and participate, regardless of their background, studies or
origin.

We would like you to consider hosting Akademy. We could look into doing it in
2020, although if you think this is too short-notice, 2021 could also be
discussed.

You can find the full description of what's necessary in the brochure here.
You can reach the KDE e.V. Board and the Akademy team at
[email protected] to put our thoughts in action.
