Taiwan, or: no rest for the weary

Tomorrow evening I leave to participate in the Conference for Open Source Coders, Users and Promoters, or COSCUP, in Teipei, Taiwan. I will be presenting on Plasma Active and helping spread the KDE and Qt story (and love!) while I am there.

My presentation will be in the second conference room at 11:30 on the first day of the conference, the 20th. I will be laying out the concepts behind Plasma Active, the four elements of the Contour shell and wrapping up with a live demo. All in 30 minutes. It has become an exercise in cutting away everything that can be, but no more, in a drive for clarity with impact. :)

There will be a meet-up of KDE enthusiasts on the evening of the 20th in form of a KDE User's BoF which I will be attending. If you are in the area and are a fan of KDE or just interested in what we do, please join us!

I'll also be around for a few extra days meeting with various people, though I do still have some spaces in my schedule which I plan to fill as I meet people at the conference.

A big thank-you to KDE e.V. for their support in this endeavour, to COSCUP for the opportunity to present and to Armijn for helping make so many vital connections in all this.
