I'm not on my Fedora box right now, but ssh-ing in, kcontrol gives 'command

KDE's annual convention, this year in Belgium - it was Glasgow, last year.  
There are two days of public talks (though you have to register), followed by 
one day of official business, then the rest of the week on BoF's (Birds of a 
Feather) sessions, where small groups get together to work on anything KDE 
related.  They are a really friendly crowd, and it's a good way to get to 
know people.
