KDE events

Once a year hundreds of members of the community meet at Akademy to present their work, plan future projects, build community and get work done.

Held annually in the United States, Camp KDE provides a regional opportunity for KDE contributors and enthusiasts to gather, learn about the latest KDE happenings and share their experiences.

After every KDE release (twice a year), some people organize release parties in their city to gather KDE enthusiasts and have fun together.

FOSDEM is the biggest free and non-commercial event organized by and for the community. Its goal is to provide Free and Open Source developers a place to meet.
