=== 3:00 - 3:30: Jeff Mitchell, on the history of the KDE community team ===


Years ago, amidst internal strife, KDE created the Community Working Group to resolve community issues. Jeff Mitchell has been involved in that group since the early days, and also contributes to free software by contributing code to Amarok and Tomahawk, and system administration generally to KDE.

At Software Freedom Day, Jeff will summarize the Community Working Group's activities over the past few years -- how it got started, what troubles it has had, what successes it has had, and the recent plan for a future of proactive community building.
