Everything is a Freaking DNS problem - akademy http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/taxonomy/term/516/0 en Akademy http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/707 <p>I don't even remember how I ended up on the <a href="http://akademy.kde.org/" rel="nofollow">Akademy</a> site this morning .. but luckily I did. </p> <p>Akademy takes place in Sint-Katelijne-Waver , ages a go my grandparents lived there to, that's Belgium if you didn't notice yet.</p> <p>Now the weird thing is that there seems almost no fuzz about it in the <a href="http://planet.grep.be/" rel="nofollow">Belgian Foss Community</a> , nobody talks about it.<br /> Also on <a href="http://upcoming.org/" rel="nofollow">Upcoming.org</a> the event can't be found. :(</p> <p>Honestly this worries me, why isn't there more talk about a rather big FOSS event in Belgium, don't we care anymore ? Or do we just not care about KDE. (apart from the people organizing the event ?)<br /> There's lots of Drupal, MySQL and Gnome activity going on in our little country but somehow less KDE. Hopefully Akademy changes that.</p> <p>Sadly I have already a fully booked schedule so I won't be able to actually make it to Mechelen for either days of the conference. Sad because unless we have a conference in Antwerpen some day soon it's probably going the to be the closest FOSS event to home.</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/707#comments akademy belgium drupal gnome kde mysql opensource planet.grep.be Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:14:10 +0000 Kris Buytaert 707 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog Akademy 2008 will be in Belgium http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/457 <p>So I`m not the world largest KDE fan but I think the fact that <a href="http://akademy2008.kde.org/" rel="nofollow">Akademy 2008</a> will be held in Belgium is great news .</p> <p>Finally some other Open Source event to visit our little country besides Fosdem. I should probably try to spend some time in Mechelen next year in August learn what those guys are doing... </p> <p>So when <a href="http://pvanhoof.be/" rel="nofollow">Philip</a> started asking for more integration and even joined conferences here is his chance .. no travel requirements just a 30 minute cartrip to Mechelen , at least for him :)</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/457#comments akademy belgium kde Sun, 30 Sep 2007 20:45:44 +0000 Kris Buytaert 457 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
