Hi Piyush,

If you are going to print a good quality A0 poster, I would suggest removing the "in 2019" part from it so it can be used in future events. ;)

Thanks for organizing this and spreading the world for KDE at such a big event!

brute4s99 added a comment.Oct 7 2019, 4:59 AM

Thanks for the input, @neofytosk ! I've edited the poster accordingly, please take a look!

Have you written about this in a blog post or something, @brute4s99 ? Or do you intend to? If so, could you post the link here so we can have some sort of post-mortem?

brute4s99 added a comment.Oct 23 2019, 11:35 AM
