 > Dear KDE Translation Teams,
 > 
 > as you may have read on the "dot" annuncement, we chose "KDE
 > Community World Summit" to name our annual conference. Last year
 > it was code-named "Kastle" (hinting to the fact that it was
 > hosted in a former castle), this year it is "aKademy" (inspired
 > by the facts that it will be hosted in the building of the
 > "Filmakademie Ludwigsburg" -- "Academy for Movie Arts in
 > Ludwigsburg", and that as a side-program it will also host a
 > bunch of one-day tutorials led by world-class instructors).
 > 
 > (These tutorials will have to be paid for and we aim to get them
 > filled up with IT professionals and admins from companies and
 > public sector administration of the local area. The tutorial
 > income and profit will help to finance the overall "aKademy"
 > events.)
 > 
 > Ah -- you ask what these other events are? OK, here's the deal:

 > -------------------------------
 > 
 > The KDE aKademy 2004 is a meeting of KDE contributors, active KDE
 > supporters and KDE power users from all over the world. It will
 > feature...
 > 
 >  ... a two-day "Conference for KDE Developers and Contributors"
 >       (21st/22nd) of primarily technical talks and mini-tutorials;
 > 
 >  ... followed by a five day "KDE Coding Marathon" (23rd - 27th)
 >  -- a big opportunity for interested groups of developers and
 > contributors to gather together in computer labs for various
 > organized and unorganized hacking sessions, spontaneous
 > workshops, Birds-of-a-Feather meetings and KDE software design
 > discussions until the following weekend;
 > 
 >  ... accompanied by five days of publically accessible general
 > "Linux- and KDE Tutorials" (half- and full-day, 23rd - 27th), led
 > by world-class instructors in their respective fields;
 > 
 >  ... followed by another weekend (28th/29th) for a public "2004
 > KDE User and Administrator Conference" at the same venue, where
 > we will be showcasing all the exciting technologies and
 > applications which make KDE the leading, most innovative and best
 > integtative Korporate Desktop Environment.(See the separate Calls
 > for Papers/Presentations and invitations for the different
 > sub-events).
 > 
 > All KDE developers, documentation writers, translators, promoters,
 > other contributors as well as KDE power users should consider
 > their active participation for the complete, or at least a part
 > of this grand "2004 KDE Community World Summit".
 > 
 > I invite your teams and its active and interested members to come
 > and participate in "aKademy". We are especially pleased if you
 > take the chance to put up a
 > workshop/BoF/meeting/hackfest/discussion club/whatever during the
 > week of the "Coding Marathon" (23rd to 27th of August). Of
 > course, the "Contributors' and Developers' Conference" (21st/22nd
 > of August) as well as the "User and Administrator Conference"
 > (28th/29th of August) are also opportunities for you -- but you
 > rather might prefer to listen to the talks and watch the
 > presentations going on there than to conduct your Team's
 > business.
 > 
 > Translations of Doumentation and the User Interface are extremely
 > important aspects to KDE and its success. This was true in the
 > past and will be even more true in the future.
 > 
 > aKademy will be a uniq opportunity for you to interact with each
 > other and with people from other parts of the KDE project. You
 > can now meet that one guy you know so well from IRC in person and
 > finally drink that pint of beer you were so long talking about.
 > You can meet active people from the new KDE Quality Teams and
 > integrate them into your work. You can do a lot of more stuff for
 > the advance of KDE translations to your $LOCALE which I don't
 > know about because *you* are the experts!
 > 
 > Please do also consider to submit talks for the 2 conferences
 > (Developer and User).
 > 
 > You would halp the organizers a lot if you would indicate as early
 > as possible what you plan and how many of you intend to come (ask
 > around in IRC for quick results). As soon as the registration is
 > open (watch out for a "dot" article), please fill in the forms.
 > If we know early on that the 200 International Youth Hostel beds
 > we reserved are not enough we can look for more cheap
 > accomodations. If we see we booked too many, we will cancel part
 > of the pre-reservations and late birds won't get only much more
 > expensive hotel beds.
 > 
 > Thanks to you all,
 > and I am looking forward to meet you in Ludwigsburg!
