Vibrant Community Propels KDE Forward at Akademy 2009

Akademy 2009 was held as part of the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit in Las Palmas
de Gran Canaria last week. During the week the KDE community attended
conference presentations and was engaged in meetings, informal discussions and
of course a great deal of coding. This article provides an overview of what's
happening in the KDE universe and what can be expected for the future.

The KDE development platform gains support by Maemo's announcement to include
Qt as supported platform in its next release. The semantic desktop gained
traction with wider adoption of its underlying infrastructure. The Plasma team
showed their upcoming netbook interface; a first version is expected to be
available in the first quarter of next year. Cornelius Schumacher reports that
KDE e.V., the organization behind KDE, is healthily growing and new projects
to grow KDE's developer base and industry adoption are being spawned. A shift
to next generation code hosting using the version control system git and its
web interface Gitorious was announced, creating a way for more people to
contribute to KDE in the future.
