Hey Friends, This is your reminder that if you have not submitted *your* (not AI generated) talk yet, now is the time to do it! T*he deadline for submissions is this Sunday, May 17 at 23:59 CEST!*
The details can be found on the Call for Participation <https://akademy.kde.org/2026/cfp/> page, if you’re not sure about whether you should submit a talk, we encourage you to do it anyway! If your talk isn’t chosen, don’t worry, there will be opportunities during the week to hold a BoF session or just chat with other folks in the halls about it. Submit your talk here <https://conf.kde.org/event/11/abstracts/>. Additionally, there are ways to contribute to the programming at Akademy this year outside of the Talks/BoF tracks. Check out the 30th Birthday section <https://community.kde.org/Akademy/2026#30th_Birthday_Celebration> of this year’s Akademy wiki for details. Lastly, the deadline to apply for travel support is May 31, read the policy <https://ev.kde.org/rules/reimbursement_policy/> and submit your application <https://reimbursements.kde.org/events/247> ASAP. Don’t forget to register <https://akademy.kde.org/2026/register/> to attend if you haven’t already! -- Kieryn Darkwater They/Them https://www.darkwaterprojects.com/
