Conveniently, the expected final release of Qt 6.12 overlaps with Akademy. So let's take a tour through what Qt 6.12 brings to the table, and also check what will come next. The talk will look at shiny technical additions (liek hardware accelerated imperative painting and improved QML tooling, HarmonyOS as a new platform), and revisits modules moving out of TP. Moreover, there is also the topic of regulation, like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). There will be an overview of what Qt (both the company and the framework) have done in that area, and how this might be relevant even for FOSS projects like KDE.

Or How the Sovereign Tech Fund Invested in KDE In 2026, the Sovereign Tech Fund commissioned work to bring KDE software closer to readiness for large enterprises and public institutions. Members of KDE e.V., enioka Haute Couture, and Techpaladin Software joined forces to prepare the proposal which led to this investment. Join us to get a peek behind the curtain of such an endeavor. We'll explain how we got there and our (not so) secret recipe for success. In this talk, we'll cover the scope of the project and explain how the conversation with the Sovereign Tech Agency unfolded. This will also include insights on how we structured and estimated such a large project. Can we expect further momentum for KDE products' adoption in the enterprise and public institutions? Is this the next step in KDE's quest for world domination with freedom and choice? You be the judge.

"There is strength in numbers." "Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable." There exist several cliches about the importance of working together, and no one knows the value of collaboration more than FOSS contributors. But perhaps sometimes overlooked is the importance of cross-community collaboration. In this talk I will take a deeper look at the collaborations which were part of KDE Eco's "Opt Green" project, in particular the "End Of 10" campaign. The focus will be on how building alliances with groups outside of KDE opened doors to new audiences and new opportunities. There are two main types of collaborations which I will explore, namely (i) those with other FOSS communities and (ii) those with adjacent communities such as Repair Cafes and environmental groups. What approaches were taken? What were the advantages? And disadvantages? What other opportunities for collaboration are there looking forward?

More than 5,000 people have contributed more than 8 million lines of code in almost 900,000 commits in the core modules alone. This presentation will show some graphical insights into KDE's code base and its history. We will touch the shape of its modules, its release history, peek into the work of some exceptional contributors and get a feeling for how the activity moved around over the years. And we will explore the stories behind some of its most significant events. Spoiler alert. KDE is more alive than ever. The last two years saw more people contributing than any year before. And that built on all the work from the decades before. In this session we will see how.
