Summer of Coders at aKademy 2007

Thiago Macieira, three time organization administrator for the KDE project, wrote in to give us an update about Summer of Code activities at the upcoming aKademy 2007 conference:
The annual KDE developers' conference, aKademy, is right around the corner. Starting on June 30th, it is the turn of the Department of Computer & Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland to welcome the KDE hackers for a week.
This year, like the previous two, Google Summer of Code students will be attending in force. At least 10 of KDE's 2007 GSoC students have already confirmed their participation and one of them will be giving a talk: Marcus Hanwell, who is working on Kalzium, will talk about the Gentoo KDE team and packages.
During the hackathon, there is also a BoF planned to discuss KDE's participation in Summer of Code.

| Red Hat Hires a Blind Software Engineer to Improve Accessibility on Linux Desktop
Accessibility on a Linux desktop is not one of the strongest points to highlight. However, GNOME, one of the best desktop environments, has managed to do better comparatively (I think).
In a blog post by Christian Fredrik Schaller (Director for Desktop/Graphics, Red Hat), he mentions that they are making serious efforts to improve accessibility.
Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility.
