Report from KDE World Summit, Day 10: Why Knoppix chose KDE (NewsForge)
NewsForge wraps up
its aKademy coverage with a look at day 10. "Those who mourn the
passing of geeky trade shows, and the rise of the shiny corporate stall,
would have enjoyed the flavour of the talks in this track. Several times
during their presentations, hackers had to stop and admit that features
they were talking about weren't yet implemented, or didn't work
properly. "We should really fix this" was one phrase Ingo Klöcker used
several times whilst showing the audience through the configuration
dialogues of KMail."

Report from KDE World Summit, Day 10: Why Knoppix chose KDE (NewsForge) Posted Sep 8, 2004 8:54 UTC (Wed) by kay (subscriber, #1362) [Link]
"It is surprising how quickly a building can empty of people, and by the evening only a handful of volunteers remained cleaning the rooms up, dismantling the network and picking up loose ends. I ate my final Ludwigsburg pizza whilst watching representatives from local KDE groups working through the remaining merchandise. If there is one memory that bodes well for the coming year in the KDE Project, and for next year's World Summit, it is the smiles in the faces of those who, with barely a day's sleep between them, were still working into the night to clear up. Clean up after a large event is satisfying because its over, all went well an you know its only a matter of hours to go to an endless sleep. The only disadvantage is that there is so much work to do and no one of the suddenly disappered people offer a helping hand. Kay
