Hi so you might remember there is free space in the lighting talks today (Sunday) at 2PM.
So all of you, get your slides ready, put them on a usb stick (the same if you can!) and be there tomorrow *at the latest* at 1:30PM so we can fit you into the schedule. It's first come, first serve, so be there ***early***. :-) Diego On Sat, Aug 6, 2011 at 11:57 PM, Stéphane Maniaci <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > Today was the first day of the DesktopSummit, and a very exciting day > for KDE & GNOME summer of code students who were to present their work > at 17:15 in the big auditorium.
