Conferences in September

After having participated to both Qt Contributor Summit and Akademy, I ended up going to a few more conferences in September. Nextcloud Conference I went to Nextcloud Conference just after going back from Akademy. Unfortunately I was quite tired from Akademy and Qt Contributor Summit and I only stayed Saturday morning. Still it was great to meet some old colleagues there. Group photo of the Nextcloud conference

Akademy 2024 in Würzburg - Bhushan Shah

Three weeks ago, I attended KDE Akademy 2024 in Würzburg, Germany. It was pretty exciting to meet my KDE friends after one year since last Akademy 2023! Travel drama Ideally whole trip should’ve taken just ~18 hours door-to-door but thanks to Lufthansa whole travel turned out to be of 48 hours in total including layovers. Flight cancellation and rebooking caused by travel to start way earlier than planned (Thursday 5:00 AM instead of planned 07:00 PM) and had to spend insane amount of time in layover.

The Germany vlog is done!! Enjoy @aks and my little adventure to Germany for #Akademy2024 lol

I'm editing the Germany vlog and this here is the face of a person who has no idea what she's talking about trying to explain what #Akademy2024 or KDE is 😂
I wrote some bits about #akademy2024 and Qt Contributor Summit. It was a blast. Thanks a lot to all the organizers (@tobias, @bluepupboi and the others not on Mastodon) https://carlschwan.eu/2024/09/14/qt-contributor-summit-and-akademy/
Qt Contributor Summit and Akademy

This year I went to Würzburg, which is a nice small German city famous for its wine. But I didn’t only go there for the wine, but also to attend Qt Contributor Summit and Akademy. Qt Contributor Summit The travel to Würzburg didn’t go as planned as Deutsch Bahn had some technical issues with their train and couldn’t reboot our train. We still managed to get in Würzburg on time and even had the change to get a small touristic tour from some locals.
