Presenting the Local Akademy Team 2010
div class=taxonomy-images/divpIt is a while now since a href=http://akademy2010.kde.orgAkademy 2010/a, KDE's annual conference, a href=http://dot.kde.org/2010/07/16/kdes-flagship-conference-akademy-concludes-pushing-elegance-and-mobile-spacecame to a close/a. There were a huge number of blogs and articles about what happened and it is safe to say that the latest conference was a success. Many attendees noted how smoothly everything ran, thanks to the KDE organizers and the local team. The local team did an awesome job, not only during the conference itself but also during the many months of thought and hard work before Akademy. The Dot managed to catch up with some key players in the local team to get their take on the KDE invasion of Tampere and find out what it is like to organize such a large event./p

Behind KDE: Meet Ben Cooksley
div class=taxonomy-images/divpIn the second episode of the new Behind KDE series of interviews with KDE sysadmins, we meet KDE's identity expert, Ben Cooksley - the guy behind the new identity.kde.org, which will be launched next week./p
pBen is one of the leaders involved in setting up key parts of the new git infrastructure. Normally he's quiet and avoids publicity - another reason to put him in the spotlight. This interview even contains one of the rare pictures that are available of Ben./p
pBen is also one of the people behind the KDE Forums - he is the one who isn't scared of terms like LDAP and Gosa and can write bug-free sysadmin shell scripts blindly. He's the only one who does everything with Grace./p
pIntrigued? Confused? Bored? Educate yourself and liven up your day with this latest interview from a href=http://www.behindkde.org/node/799 rel=nofollowBehind KDE/a./p

Akonadi Demystified
div class=taxonomy-imagesa href=/category/dot-catgories/kde-pim class=taxonomy-image-linksimg src=http://www.kdenews.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/category_pictures/office-address-book.png alt=KDE PIM title=KDE PIM width=48 height=48 //a/divpOver on his a href=http://vizZzion.org/blog/2010/08/demystifying-akonadi/blog/a Sebastian Kügler talks about the status of Akonadi, how the migration of Kontact to Akonadi is going, and in general where the direction of development is leading./p
pAs a status update, sebas notes emInitially, we had planned to release the new Kontact along with the rest of the KDE Applications 4.5. This did not quite work out, so we pushed the release back a bit, and are planning to release it along with one of the 4.5.x updates. The current plan is to release the Akonadi port of Kontact still this year. In contrast to our usual releases, this step is a bit different. We want to avoid hassle for the end-user as much as possible, so we are extending the beta phase until we think the quality is sufficient for the high demands of users, which is especially important in Kontact, where you likely spend a lot of your time./em/p
