As you may already know, at this year's aKademy the term came up for our past KDE e.V. president, Eva. She served for years on the board and in my opinion did a great job as president. Filling her void was the matter of quite a bit of discussion and I personally thought hard about whether or not to take on the position for days prior to going to Glasgow. In the end, it was decided amongst all the board members that I would do so. I'd like to write a little bit about what I see the presidency represents, how it will impact (or not) my own activities and share with everyone some of the goals that the KDE e.V. board of directors has for the next year.
