This year we pay special attention, beside pure KDE contents, to Qt and companies, with several talks related to them. KDE Spain (a legal entity), as usual, also celebrates its annual assembly on Saturday, May 19th, as part of the event.
We have several sponsors. One of them, Wadobo, is owned by Eduardo Robles Elvira (aka edulix). This is nothing but a confirmation of how Free Software communities, even local ones, work as business incubators, feeding the project back. This is definitely, something to promote even more in KDE.
On Friday 18th I’m giving a talk specially oriented to companies. I will try to explain them the advantages of getting involved in a community driven Free Software project like KDE. On Saturday 19th I will talk about KDE Connect.
I’m glad to see that this year we will also have several talks from representatives of non KDE initiatives that helps us in different ways, like Jesus, G. Barahona, from Libresoft (we collaborate in FP7 project ALERT) or Paul Brown, from Linux Magazine (Spanish version director). We will also have OpenSUSE related contents. I hope next year some other distros propose talks for Akademy-es.
Thanks for sponsoring Akademy-es By the way, you should share your experience from a KDE dev to an entrepreneur with others.
Maybe a talk in a future KDE event would be great.
I hope KDE Connect help people like you to make your company successful.

It's surely going to be an interesting event! I'm looking forward to meeting you all there =) Thanks for the mentions too. We at Wadobo want to show our support to the community and this is our small company contribution to the greatness of KDE.
