Posted on July 25, 2023 by sgmoore

A big thank you goes out to the Ubuntu Community for making my attendance to the KDE Akademy 2023! This was a very successful conference for me. I had very positive feedback for my speech on “A million reasons why snaps are important. I also had a productive BoF on snapping KDE applications. Most importantly I got to catch up with many old and new friends and got to put faces to the new. There were so many great talks and BoFs, but one of my favorites was the Goals as all three compliment each other. The keynote was amazing,

Snowstorms, Kittens and Shattered dreams

The process was months long, but was going very well, the interviews and I passed the technical with flying colors.
