Akademy

Since 2003 the KDE e.V. has organized an annual meeting of the KDE community. It includes a conference, time for coding, meetings and the annual membership meeting of the e.V. It has been known under the name Akademy since 2004. It is the biggest meeting of the worldwide KDE community.

Previous to the year 2008 the spelling "aKademy" was used. This was changed to "Akademy" due to popular demand in 2008.

Akademy 2010 in Tampere, Finland

The KDE community is proud to announce the location of next year's Akademy: Tampere, Finland. Akademy is the yearly world conference held by the KDE community to celebrate the Free Software desktop and work towards the future of KDE.

After a successful Akademy 2009 on the Canary Islands, as part of the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit, Akademy heads north to the birthplace of Linux where contributors will enjoy the midnight sun as they spend a week to present, plan and participate in the development of KDE software.
