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.

More HEre.
