| FOSS-North is canceled in 2020 due to COVID19. The conference will be a virtual conference in stead, but the community events will not happen. |
KDE is at FOSS-North in 2020 with a community day and a booth (maybe a talk if it gets accepted).
- Conference Site Dates: march 29 - april 1, 2020. Place: Chalmers Conference Centre, Gothenburg, Sweden Open Street Map
- Call for Participation on -community and -ev-membership
Booth
The booth is a lot like FOSDEM: one table, and we can hand out stickers, demo products, and sell T-shirts.
- Adriaan has a laptop with a promo film
- Adriaan has a rock64 with Plasma desktop, but no screen
There's a big-ish KDE logo banner. About 200 stickers, some postcards to give away.
TODO
- Order T-shirts there, for sales (maybe 30?)
- Order beer mats
- Borrow a monitor for the rock64
Community Day
We have the opportunity to run a community day in-house somewhere in the city (maybe with FreeBSD).
TOPICS
- CMake for beginners (it doesn't have to hurt)
- KDE translation (even if Swedish is already at 100%)
- The QML scenegraph
- FreeBSD as a KDE development environment
