Happy Birthday KDE

KDE 28th Birthday Celebration: Happy Birthday KDE Sprint

To celebrate the 28th birthday of KDE, we're hosting a fun coding sprint where students can explore different programming languages.

Participants of Happy Birthday KDE event

At the **Happy Birthday KDE Sprint**, the goal is simple: write code that prints "Happy Birthday KDE" in as many languages as possible. It’s a great chance to try out new languages and share what you learn by documenting the setup process in the community wiki.

• Venue: Green Amphi Theatre
• Date & Time: 17/10/2024 7:30 PM to 18/10/2024 7:30 PM

What We'll Be Doing

• Play around with different programming languages.
• Write a quick "Happy Birthday KDE" in each one.
• Share how to set up each language’s development environment in the wiki.

How to Join

• Bring your laptop with any tools you like to code with.
• Try new languages, work together, and have some fun.
