This event attracts speakers from all over India. It provides students with an excellent opportunity to interact with established open-source contributors, as well as developers from various industries working on open-source projects in the fields of automotive, embedded, mobile, and more.
conf.kde.in was started in 2011 at the R V College of Engineering, Bangalore by a group of Indian KDE contributors. Since then we have hosted six different editions, each in different universities and venues:
- 2013, KDE Meetup, DA-IICT, Gandhinagar
- conf.kde.in 2014, DA-IICT, Gandhinagar
- conf.kde.in 2015, Amrita University, Kerala
- conf.kde.in 2016, LNMIIT, Jaipur
- conf.kde.in 2017, IIT Guwahati
- conf.kde.in 2020, Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi
Past events have been successful in attracting Indian students to mentoring programs such as Google Summer of Code (GSoC), Season of KDE, and Google Code-In. These programs have often successfully helped students become lifelong contributors to open-source communities, including KDE.
conf.kde.in 2024 will be an offline event, in Pune, Maharashtra from Friday 2nd - Sunday 4th February
