Call for Papers 2026
Akademy is the annual KDE Community conference. If you are working on topics relevant to KDE, this is your chance to present your work and ideas to the KDE community at large.
If you think you have something interesting to present, please tell us about it. If you know of someone else who should present, please encourage them to do so too.
What We Are Looking For
KDE is more than a desktop environment, and this year is our 30th birthday! We are asking for talk proposals on topics relevant to the KDE community and technology such as:
- How KDE can empower building robust communities in changing political climates
- Work towards KDE's goals: Streamlined Application Development Experience, We care about your Input, and KDE Needs You
- Giving people more digital freedom, sovereignty, and autonomy with KDE software
- Advice on how to participate for new users, intermediates and experts
- New developments/plans for KDE Frameworks, Plasma, Applications and other projects
- 30 years of KDE: achievements, highlights, and what’s next
- Anything else that might interest an audience of long-time, new, and potential KDE contributors!
What We Offer
Many creative and interested KDE and Free Software contributors and supporters — your attentive and receptive audience. An opportunity to present your project, share ideas and best practices, or gain new contributors. A cordial environment with people who want you to succeed. This is your chance to make a big splash.
If you would like advice before sending in a proposal, you can email akademy-talks@kde.org to ask. The program committee can answer questions via email!
