10 Years KDE - 10 Years of Linux Desktop
KDE is going to celebrate its 10th anniversary. On 14th October 1996, Matthias Ettrich announced the beginning of a project which is now one of the biggest and most exciting open source projects. To celebrate this event we'd like to invite you to our little birthday party on
Friday, October 13th, 2006 in the Technische Akademie Esslingen near Stuttgart ( An der Akademie 5, 73760 Ostfildern ).
The day will have an official presentation part (9:30 - 16:30) and a celebration part which will start at 19:00 and we'll party into the actual anniversary.
Matthias Ettrich and Jono Bacon (Ubuntu/Kubuntu) will be keynote speakers. Moreover we have compiled an exciting track of presentations about KDE and the Linux desktop.
To cover the costs of the event for community members we ask for an entry fee of EUR 10 ( industry members EUR 65 ). To ease preparations and catering we'd like to ask you to tell us whether you plan to attend as soon as possible.
