Linux Day is an Italian manifestation that promotes Linux and FOSS.
During this day different organizations (mostly Linux User Groups) arrange events with speeches, installation parties and more.

Since lot of people requested it, I gave a speech about KDE 4 during the Linux day organized by my LUG (BGLug).

The presentation covers the main changes and features introduced by KDE 4.
I took inspiration from Troy’s “Road to KDE 4″ articles (I like them really much).

People liked the speech and, most important of all, showed great interest for KDE 4.

You can download the presentation using the link at the bottom of the page. But beware: slides are in Italian.

You can also find some photos of the event here (thanks to Jimmy).
