KDE @ 38C3
In less than a week from now KDE will again be present at the 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3) in Hamburg, Germany.
Chaos Communication Congress
Even bigger than FOSDEM and much wider in scope many impactful collaborations during the past couple of years can be traced back to contacts made at Congress. Be it KDE Eco, joint projects with the Open Transport community, the weather and emergency alert aggregation server or indoor routing to just name a few.
KDE Assembly
At last year’s edition, 37C3, we had a KDE assembly (think “stand” or “booth” at other events) for the first time. That not only helps people to find us, it’s also very useful anchor point for the growing KDE delegation.
This year we’ll further improve on that, by being there with even more people and by having the KDE assembly as part of the Bits & Bäume Habitat. That not only comes with some shared infrastructure like a workshop space but also puts us next to some of our friends, like OSM, FSFE and Wikimedia.
We’ll be in the foyer on floor level 1 next to the escalators (map).
More of our friends and partners have their own assemblies elsewhere as well, such as Matrix and Linux on Mobile.
A special thanks goes again to the nice people at CCC-P and WMDE who helped us get tickets!
Talks & Workshops
We’ll also have three talks by KDE people, all of them featuring collaborations beyond the classical KDE scope.
- Jonah will talk about the free and open public transport routing service Transitous on day 2 at 12:00 on stage YELL.
- Nucleus from FOSSWarn and I will present the joint work on emergency and weather alert aggregation and distribution infrastructure, on day 4 at 16:40 on stage HUFF.
- Joseph’s talk Opt Green: Coordinating a Windows 10-to-Linux upcycling campaign across Free Software communities worldwide will be on day 2 at 11:00 on stage YELL.
There will also be two workshops chaired by Jospeh on the latter subject:
- Upcycling old laptops with Linux for kids, on day 3 from 12:00 to 15:00 in Saal 5.
- A BoF on Coordinating a Windows 10-to-Linux upcycling campaign, on day 4 from 13:00 to 15:00 in the Bits & Bäume workshop area.
Make sure to monitor the schedule for last-minute changes though.
See you in Hamburg!
Looking forward to many interesting discussions, if you are at 38C3 as well make sure to come by the KDE assembly!
