Yes, I'm aware of the new branding that's being promoted, I indeed
forgot to orientate more my talk towards that. Thanks for the info.

Well, at Campus Party you can find audience of many types, it isn't
just a IT event, it's a technology event in general. Leaving aside the
software development and free software sections, you also can see
blogging, science, gaming and others, being this last one probably the
biggest group (and probably not many of them will be doing anything
different than gaming). But probably my audience will be mostly linux
users that want to know more about KDE.

That's exactly what I want to do, a very casual talk, showing the
coolest stuff from KDE SC so attendants at hte end will want to try it
out.

Yes, I'm using that page as a guide.

Yes,  community is very important !!

Yes, but nothing like what I'm looking for there.
