I think this is a great idea. I'd definitely attend it, though I'm not sure
what if any questions I've had. I consider I tend to sit on both sides of
the KDE/Plasma fence (not that it's really a fence, but as one that has
contributed a bit to both sides and doesn't tend to keep up with plasma
motivations, etc. I feel somewhat like an outsider with a bit of inside
knowledge). For me a bunch of plasma still feels like magic as I've no clue
how to fix itches I have with it (why doesn't the comic applet work these
days, or why does it think last weeks dilbert has no successor for
example). I really don't expect any answers to these in here. just pointing
out some possible coordination that could possibly happen at such a meeting
I think.

<br>
i'm starting to work on coordination for the plasma project's activity at \
this<br> year's Akademy. i've started this page on the wiki:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma/Akademy2010" \

<br>
as you can see it has a place to list your name if you are attending Akademy<br>
2010. please add yourself to that list if you are coming and plan on<br>
discussing Plasma. if you are not going to be there for the whole week, please<br>
append the days you will be there to your entry.<br>
<br>
there's a topics for discussion section which is where we can advertise the<br>
topics we are each wanting to address while we are there. please add your<br>
personal interests there, but only if you are attending akademy and will be<br>
wanting to broach that topic. in other words, this isn't a place to dump \
every<br> possible topic we can think of. :)<br>
<br>
and finally, there is a Plasma Frenzy section with 10 slots available for 3-10<br>
minute presentations. these presentations can be quite informal. slides are<br>
optional. it'll be much like our openings for Tokamak where we take turns<br>
noting what's new and of interest in Plasma-land for each other and, since it<br>
is Akademy, others attending who want to keep up with our twists, turns,<br>
blunders and brilliance. ;)<br>
<br>
i'm also considering adding a Plasma Feedback Panel, which would be a session<br>
for us to sit around a room with other interested / concerned KDE folk. we<br>
would ask and answer the questions those attending have, and discuss ideas<br>
with those beyond just our own group. the idea would be to help extend /<br>
expand the reach of Plasma across KDE and for KDE contributors to have more<br>
input into what we are doing in a constructive atmosphere. what do you \
