Heya folks :)

Just a quick reminder that there is only one week left to submit talks
for Akademy in Tallinn. http://akademy.kde.org/cfp  Submit now, don't
procrastinate (yeah yeah I know how hard that is ;-))  Please also
spread the word in your network.
If you need help with your submission or have questions you can reach
the program committee at akademy-talks@kde.org.


Cheers
Lydia

That kind of time is unfortunately not something I have :(

I am willing to answer questions and help, but I don't think I can take the
mentor responsibility.

Is there somebody out there with OCR experience (which I lack) that is willing
to take the mentoring? It would be a shame to let this opportunity pass.
