Konqi Randa Mascot
2 Weeks ago myself and Françoise had joined the [http://www.randa-meetings.ch/ Randa Meeting] in Switzerland.
This event is a full hack-week where between around fifty people, that help to change the world, met together and hack around [http://www.kde.org KDE Community] related stuff. More on
KDE sprint page
I’ve heard about Randa from years, and had seen numerous reports about how Randa hack-week has allowed lots of changes : Plasma, Software collection, etc…
This year, we decided not only to financially sponsor the event, but also be part of as simple helper, with the status of newcomers in the KDE community contributors. Just to check how it goes.
Mario Fux (the organizer) didn’t fake his involvement to make this week a success, in a full open source spirit.
We’re reporting below a number of blog post that have been made during the hackweek.
And as the icing on the cake, you could just watch the video realized during the week.
Where’s the Geeko at Randa?
I was proud to see number of people wearing openSUSE t-shirt, using openSUSE on their computer.
Mario still has a number of old 11.4 t-shirts to spread. I’ve also given a very limited number of new usb key.
Interesting enough to note that the big marketing effort done years ago, is still used.
Yeah I’m looking at you dear big openSUSE’s Sponsor 🙂
Geeko’s car at Randa 2014
Packed in the Geeko’s car, which was highly complimented, we brought my laptop, a new "MacBroken pro 13.1 retina" with OSX & live usb Frameworks5, the camera and also a camcorder. While I was helping a bit for creating the new Frameworks5 book, proposing a cover for it in collaboration with people in the visual group forum.
Françoise made a lot of pictures, participate to the book’s direction and target brainstorm. Then she met Lucie.
Lucie is a professional Video-maker, working with kdenlive. The temptation to do something with the camcorder, Lucie’s competencies, and all the attendee was high enough to start a new spontaneous “PRESS” team 🙂
Thank you!
Once again, we would like to give a special hug to Mario Fux, for his enthusiasm, and kindness. Yes Mario, it will be an honor to be part of Randa Verein, to help you to achieve more next year.
Also we send our warmest thanks to all participants. You were all impressive about your friendly welcome, your guidance, the work you achieved.
Conclusion, we’ll be there next year!
Shouldn’t we, openSUSE Community, model this success for our Free Future?
