Room 2.2 (reserved for workshops) - 24th July

Time	Subject	Host/Notes
9:30
10:30	Playing with amalgam of QML and JavaScript	Anu Mittal
12:15	Say what?!	Paul Brown In this workshop you will learn how to quickly transform the introductions to your projects into something easy to understand by a much larger audience, not only your developer friends. You can use what you learn as introductory texts on your project's website, in presentations, to explain what you do to your mystified boss or confused family, etc. Please bring examples from your own projects so we can ~~laugh at~~ work on them!
13:30	Lunch
15:00	How to join LibreOffice and Why	Gabriele Ponzo
15:30	LibreOffice 5.4 (exclusive early) Release Announcement	Gabriele Ponzo & Xisco Fauli
16:00	Migrating FOSS and KDE -- Does KDE have chances?	Franklin Weng In 2013 10,000 PCs were purchased with KDE Plasma4. Since 2015 Taiwan launched a 3-year project to migrate Open Document Foundation and LibreOffice (and a new 3-year following project is ongoing). During these years we communicated many organizations including government and schools and we see another chance -- There are still a number of users using Windows XP. They have the will to change, but don't want to pay the licenses to Microsoft anymore. Does KDE have chances? What will KDE (not only Plasma) need? I'll give some thoughts from what I learned from the LibreOffice community.
