Yes. This does however need coordination with the akademy team anyway
as we need a bof room for an entire day so this first of all needs to
fit into their bof schedule somehow. So, I guess reaching out to Kenny
soonishy would be a good idea. Depending on the possible days we might
then want to doodle which one fits best. Indeed the earlier in the
week the better. Last year we did it on Thursday which worked out fine
except for the fact that some people already had to leave in the
afternoon. Alas, this is a problem everyone is having. Alternatively
there's always the possibility of not having an entire day dedicated
to Kubuntu but instead have an afternoon early in the week and
additionally thursday morning (if needed).

Since we are very much heading towards closer ties to the debian kde
team I'd think that we should try to get as many Debian people as
possible. On that note perhaps we should just officially call it a
joint event Debian/Kubuntu day?
