Akademy-Fr happened in
Toulouse last week-end part of a bigger FOSS event in Toulouse named
Capitole du Libre. On Saturday (10am to 8pm) we had a booth to show
KDE.
A track with talks about KDE also went on in the room near the booth: Kévin Ottens presented KDE as
a community, Lambert Clara promoted KDevelop as an IDE for everyone's
project, Sébastien Renard explained how the French translation team
checks translations in order to reach quality (using pology for
example). David Faure then lead us to debug programs using valgrind,
reading backtraces, having a thorough process when debugging and much
more. Sébastien explained how to tackle IT complexity based on his
own experiment.
Meanwhile, the KDE booth was always staffed and
passers-by enjoyed the demos (Marble on a desktop, on Plasma Active
and on a N9 for example) and could learn more about KDE with great
leaflets.
I was particularly impressed to meet David Revoy who is an artiste living in Toulouse and he uses Krita for his
professional graphical work. I also met an enthusiastic teacher who
uses Kalzium and said that no other software can beat it. It's great
to see people using and enjoying our software and choosing it over
proprietary ones.
On Sunday we had several
workshops: translation, Frameworks5 and UI Consulting. Groups of
people were busy learning and contributing.

Thanks to the sponsors and
to Kévin, Jean-Nicolas, Benjamin for the organization. Thanks to the
other Kévin and PixCyl for the great leaflet!

Annma!! It's so great to hear from you again and to see you're back rocking KDE France! I haven't seen you on IRC in a while. Hope you enjoyed your vacation in the U.S. :)
I have to join Jucato in saying how awesome it is to see you back blogging again ;-)
Hope to see you at some meeting soon, it's been too long!
