KDE.news has a report of the first day of Akademy the annual KDE desktop summit. Akademy is being held August 9-15 in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium. The report covers various talks from day one, including the keynote by Frank Karlitschek: "After this history lesson, Frank started to talk about our project - KDE. And our community. He argued our community should be what makes us special - after all, it's what drives us. If you look at the default KDE desktop - you can't help but wonder: where is the community? Why isn't there a 'KDE users nearby' Plasmoid? Could the agenda in Kontact be filled with local KDE and F/OSS related events? Brainstorming further, Frank talked about many other parts of KDE which could be improved to facilitate involvement from the community."
