We had an one hour BoF at aKademy yesterday and talked about some things. 

Volker and Tobias gave an overview about the status of Akonadi. We have 
something like a basic storage, the search providers are being designed. We 
are pretty short on developers, so progress is not as good as we would want 
it to be. There was a discussion about some technical questions. Will took 
some notes if I remember correctly. Attached is a list of some usage 
scenarios for Akonadi which were collected at the BoF.

We also briefly talked about KitchenSync. There is a new release of OpenSync 
0.19 which is able to sync KDE using the KDE frontend (which is KitchenSync). 
We should think about doing a release of KitchenSync fitting to the OpenSync 
0.19. A first stable release is depending on the OpenSync schedule.

Then we had a discussion about how to attract new developers. We collected a 
list of ideas how this could be done:
- Blog about what's going on
- Hype the hell out of the cool things we are doing
- Spread positive feelings
- Invite 10% newcomers to development meetings
- Make talks in schools, colleges, etc.
- Offer mentoring for new developers
- Invite non-developers to meetings
- Make sure there are up-to-date KDevelop project files
- Do developer days and invite students to them.
