#Akademy2026 is a special birthday edition marking 30 years of KDE, happening in Graz, Austria. Sponsoring Akademy this year means celebrating the journey, supporting the community, and helping make this milestone edition possible.
You may recall a document on the creation of a new shared event between GNOME and KDE and today we have the people who proposed the event on the show #Linux#Podcast#OpenSource

Earlier this month, I covered the project update for the "End of 10" campaign. The project hopes to help people who are losing Windows support and don't have the right hardware (TPM2) to migrate to Linux rather than buying a Windows 11-compatible computer. #KDE#Akademy#Endof10
You know that Windows 10 is end of life soon? If you are still stuck with a Windows 10 laptop, you can upgrade it to Linux! I'm joining a wonderful team at #KDE#AKADEMY to help you in a #EndOf10 installation party. Bring your laptop, we do the rest!
Not in #Berlin today? Good news - there are other events all over the world!

The text reads:
"End Of 10 Akademy Edition. Artists, Designers, Pythonistas, Gamers. Tired of corporations deciding how you use your computer? Have you considered trying independent software with Linux but don't know where to start? Curious if it can even work for you? Join the KDE install fest. 11 Sept. 16:00-20:00, TU Berlin (Room 3005)"
📣 Hello! We've formally sent a proposal to the GNOME Foundation and KDE e.V. leadership for a unified Linux App Summit (LAS) that would merge GUADEC, Akademy, and the current LAS into a single event.
We're sharing it with you as an open letter. Our goal is to create a more efficient, cost-effective, and impactful conference for everyone. We invite you to read the full proposal and share your thoughts.
The long awaited final blog post in my XP-PEN Artist 22R Pro series 🖋️ It's the last one, because I have nothing left to do! The kernel driver is merging for #Linux 6.17 and it's fully configurable in the upcoming #KDE Plasma 6.5. I also discuss near the end some other exciting tablet-related announcements!
My catgirl persona that is saying this in front of a graphics tablet:
"Huh? Oh yeah, this is my Linux setup. This is a popular off-the-shelf tablet, which will soon work-out-of-the-box without any further setup. And we aren't just recreating what barely works on other operating systems, but building better software to truly control the hardware we own."
"Anyway, what were you saying about your Windows PC? (...what is Copilot?)"
Remember to volunteer for #KDE#Akademy !
@tdfischer is taking all the fun session chair slots! I'd fight her for them, but what the KDE community needs is more, newer, fresher clowns to run the show, not us two old farts.
I don't remember what happened to the pink bowler hat I bought in Vienna -- do you?
