The KDE Randa Meeting is a small gathering of KDE contributors in the beautiful small village Randa in Switzerland. Randa Meeting 2012 will be held from 21 to 27 September 2012. It will includes key KDE projects and top developers, all collaborating concurrently under one roof, isolated from noise and distractions.

I am very excited as it will be the first time that i will be attending Randa meeting and any coding sprint in general. Thanks to Mario Fux for making it possible. This year, it will mark the fourth year of Randa Meeting.

Randa, Switzerland

Every previous Randa meeting has been concentrated and productive, generating exceptional results; We really expect even more this year.

This year 4 KDE groups are coming to Randa:

• Accessibility
• Education
• Multimedia/Amarok/Phonon
• Plasma

In total, 35 developers will come from all over the world to be at the Randa meeting. In seven inspiring days full of hard work, they will accomplish more than even they can imagine. I am part of KDE Accessibility group of 6 people who are coming together to create an accessibility infrastructure for free software that truly works.

At this sprint we all are volunteers and as you understand there are some hard expenses like accommodation, food and travel. The fundraising goal is €10,000. We have already reached the half way. Please donate whatever you can to make Randa Meeting 2012 possible.
