Hey guys, just to keep everyone informed about the release event stuff. First wave of invites went out early last week: that wave was for KDE community members only. There are a lot of people that have not issued a reply to the invite (yes or no) yet. Just a reminder that those that have no reserved by October 21 may find themselves out of a hotel bed... I'm not saying that we'll have 100 people from the world at large sign up for the beds on October 21st and there will be no room, but we hope to fill things up fairly quickly.
The second wave of invitations went out just, thanks to Wade's insane effort in this matter. This wave targets distros, our sponsors, press, and people from the free software community at large. Please keep in mind that for this wave of invitations, we did not specify a specific person within the company that we'd like to come down. Feel free to use on anyone you'd like to see out there. If you can't decide on just one person to send, send more than one (eg: Helio and Boiko would both be nice...)
And lastly, I think I have a summer job lined up that will not only give me time off to go to Akademy, but actually thinks that what I'm doing with KDE is pretty cool. Being in geology, they asked me what kind of software KDE makes (during the interview), and I was talking about it being a functional replacement for the OS X or Windows user interfaces, plus a set a applications to go with it. When asked about what kind of apps KDE makes, they seemed most impressed by Marble based on my description of it. Maybe there's room for open source applications in industry :) Well, with CVRD anyway... (to the Brazilians out there: is CVRD a company that is worth being associated with?)
Cheers
