PIM
Last weekend I attended this year's edition of the KDE PIM Sprint which, this time, took place in Paris.
I arrived in Paris around 1 p.m. and first walked from Gare du Nord to the Île de la Cité to have a look at the reconstructed roof of Notre Dame. Then I checked in at my hotel and after a brief rest I went to the sprint venue, the office of enioka. There I was greeted by one of our hosts for the weekend and by a few KDE PIMsters who had already taken over the meeting room.

The remaining items on that page are areas of active focus, too, as we race towards the Wayland finish line.

I didn't think I'd be at Akademy 2025
The attentive reader will note that yes, Akademy happened in September already. Not the most prolific blogger. Not the most prolific contributor either. But I had already drafted much of this post two months ago, so let's get it out the door. I'll cut all the paragraphs about fun social outings and focus on recapping stuff related to our Input Goal.
