the written word remains

I'd love to learn how you use KDevelop, what you use, what is your workflow, etc. If you're here at Akademy and up for a quick user testing session, grab me at any time (currently I'm at Demola). If you don't know how I look like, ping me at irc (nick: adymo, #akademy and #kdevelop channels).

We rescheduled KDevelop BoF from Friday to Wednesday so that more people can attend (and so that we ourselves can attend :)).
