KDE developer meeting supported by SuSE and Caldera.


The KDE Team is happy to announce that the second KDE
developer meeting will take place from 7th to 10th of October
1999 at the University of Erlangen, Germany.  Thanks to the
main sponsors, Caldera Systems Inc. and SuSE GmbH, about 50
KDE core developers from all over the world will be able to
come together and work on the future development of KDE.

According to Waldo Bastian, KDE core developer, "KDE is being
developed by a large group of volunteers from all over the
world.  This event is a unique opportunity to meet the other
developers.  Although we are in constant contact via Internet,
most of us have never met each other in person. During the
meeting we hope to define the roadmap for the next major
release of KDE, which is planned for the first half of next
year. Besides that, it will be great fun!"

The event has been made possible with the financial help of
Linux distributors SuSE and Caldera. SuSE Chairman Roland
Dyroff said about SuSE's involvement, "SuSE is very commited to 
the development of KDE.  Thanks to KDE, Linux is quickly 
becoming a viable alternative on the Desktop market.  By supporting
events like this we make sure that the KDE Team can continue
its marvelous work at an even faster pace."

"Caldera Systems is proud to have the opportunity to sponsor
this event in order to show our appreciation to the KDE Team
for their efforts. We are pleased with the progress the team
has made in the latest releases and look forward to being able
to provide KDE 2.0 to our customers in the future." says Drew
Spencer, Vice President of Engineering at Caldera Systems Inc.
