Akademy Awards 2007
====================
At the second day of aKademy 2007, the contributors
conference closed
with the aKademy Awards [http://www.
kde.org/history/akademyawards/]
Ceremony. Two of last years winners, Boudewijn Rempt and
Laurent Montel
awarded no less than four awards to Sebastian Trueg, Mathias
Kretz,
Danny Allen and Kenny Duffus. Read on for more details.
This year's winners:
* 2007 aKademy Award for Best ApplicationSebastian

K3B.

[http://www.kde
developers.org/blog/1209] for making the most
anticipated weekly writing in the KDE community: his

time, energy and work devoted to making the conference
possible.

The awards ceremony is becoming a valuable tradition at
aKademy. It
is good to award those who have been an inspiration to the
community. So
this year, we went even further than last year, and had
statuettes of
cast-metal gears made. Unfortunately, it was not fully
appreciated that
'real' things actually take time to be manufactured, and so
were not
presented at the ceremony. Two of the four winners were
personally at
aKademy, and thus they received a picture of Konqi, signed
by all KDE
people at aKademy. And of course, the promise that the
statuette would
be sendtto their home address. Furthermore, each winner
recieved a a
"Mastering CMake" book, sponsored by Kitware [http://www.kitware.com/]
and a one year subscription to Linux Magazine
[http://www.linux-mag.com/], sponsored of course by Linux Magazine.
Kitware also sponsored a digital camera, which was given to
Danny Allen.
The KDE project looks forward to recognising the work
of
contributors in the coming year, when this year's winners
will decide
the recipients of this most worthy award of the KDE
community.
