aKademy 2007: The First Impression
aKademy 2007 has started! Saturday, the first day of the conference, brought us many talks about various topics, ranging from very technical to more practically oriented. These talks are so content-rich that our coverage of the user conference will require several consecutive articles.
Kickoff
The conference was kicked off by Adriaan de Groot, who introduced Lars Knoll of Trolltech and our shiny new KDE-branded coffee mugs, which we received in our 'aKademy bag'. The bag was filled with other goodies as well, like a 2 GB bootable USB stick courtesy of Mandriva, and some live CD's.
Organisation
During the talks, it was discovered that there was no internet. Indeed, 200+ geeks at a university, without network access. The organisation has quite some trouble getting us online. So this report is fairly late, and you probably noticed the almost-full radio silence. But the network is already up in one of the buildings, and we're expecting connection any time now.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
