Events: Promo Sprint 2022 and FOSS XR

Promo Sprint 2022 | KDE.news
On 20-21 August KDE's Promo team held a two-day Sprint in Saumur, France. I was fortunate to be able to attend along with 7 other participants and contribute to discussions about a range of topics. To give a taste, here I will focus on two of the topics discussed: a KDE-for promotional campaign and diversity initiatives at KDE.
KDE-for is an idea that existed prior to the Sprint. A KDE-for-kids website even exists, but we wanted to see how far we could take the idea. Our brainstorming generated numerous proposals, including KDE-for-creators, KDE-for-developers, KDE-for-researchers, KDE-for-teachers, KDE-for-students, KDE-for-gamers, KDE-for-activists, and so on. Each potential for-group gives us the opportunity to connect KDE products with end users and highlight the many communities within and around KDE. It also provides a place to showcase flagship apps while raising awareness about the sometimes lesser known ones complimenting them.

The countdown is on to make an impact at the FOSS XR Conference, but there's still time!
Be part of the FOSS XR lineup by submitting your talk by September 5th, 2022. That means there's one week left for all you AR and VR enthusiasts and industry movers to share your exciting XR projects/news/demos with the world.
The FOSS XR conference is for anyone interested in Free and Open Source software for VR/AR/MR. With many projects like Monado, Project Northstar, libsurvive, ILLIXR, relativ, OpenHMD as well as universities and tech companies working on freely available software, drivers and hardware, the FOSS XR Conference is here to bring the community together and give a podium to the future of XR.
