<!-- <b>The Randa Meetings 2015 Fundraiser has finished. Thank you \
everybody who supported us in this fundraiser. We didn't reach the set goal \
but we collected quite some money and that means there is going to be Randa \
Meetings in August 2015. See <a \
href="http://planet.kde.org">http://planet.kde.org</a> for more information \
to come and go to the <a \

the intense KDE sprints in Randa, Switzerland will include key projects and \
top developers, working concurrently under one roof, free from noise and \
distractions.</p>

breakthroughs for KDE software users and developers.</p>

+<p> The week-long Randa Meetings have been intense and productive, \
generating exceptional results. Expectations are high this year. Most \
importantly, the Randa Meetings have produced <a \
href="http://dot.kde.org/2011/06/29/platform-frameworks-kde-hackers-meet-switzerland">significant \
breakthroughs</a> that benefit all KDE software users and developers.</p> +

+
+<p>Randa Meetings participants donate their time to work on important KDE \
projects. The Randa Meetings organizers prepare meals and take care of \
details that can interfere with highly productive software development. \
While the developers cover some of their costs, there are still hard \
expenses like accommodation and travel to get the volunteer contributors to \
Randa. Having these expenses covered is a valuable incentive.</p> +
+<p>The theme of the 2015 Randa Meetings is <strong>Bring Touch to \
KDE</strong>. Participants will be working to expand touch capabilities in \
KDE applications for tablets, smartphones and other touch-enabled devices. \
This will build on Plasma Mobile, the Free Mobile Platform <a \
href="https://dot.kde.org/2015/07/25/plasma-mobile-free-mobile-platform">announced \
on July 25th</a>. Some of the 2015 Randa projects are: +<ul>

integrated communication for multiple devices</li> +<li>DE apps on \
Android</li> +<li>digiKam photo management</li>
+<li>GCompris educational software</li>
+<li>Interface design</li>
+<li>
+Personal Information Management</li>
+<li>
+KDE and mobile integration with <a \
href="https://owncloud.org">ownCloud</a> user-controlled cloud storage and \
applications</li> +<li>Security and privacy</li
</ul>
+The organizers have included other top developers so that the Randa \
Meetings produce extraordinary results.</p>
-<p>Participants donate their time to help improve the software you love \
and this is why we need money to cover hard expenses like accommodation and \
travel to get the volunteer contributors to Randa. If you are not \
attending, you can still support the Randa Meetings by making a donation. \
As in the past, the Randa Meetings will benefit everyone who uses KDE \
software.</p> +<p>This year, we have expanded the Randa Meetings \
fundraising campaign to include all KDE sprints. In addition to the Randa \
Meetings, various KDE work teams gather for a few days throughout the year \
to make exceptional progress that simply would not be possible working only \
via the Internet and email. As one long-time Randa participant said: \
+<blockquote> In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development">agile \
development; sprints are a very important element to push the project \
forward. While sprints can be done over the web, they are hindered by \
time-zones, external distractions, availability of contributors, etc. \
In-person sprints, even if those are few, are more productive as all the \
hindrances of the web meetings are eliminated and productivity is greatly \
enhanced.</blockquote></p>
-<p>We have a fundraising goal of €<?php echo $goal; ?>. Please donate \
what you can to help make the Randa Meetings 2015 possible. This fund \
campaign ends on the 13th of September.</p> +<p>The results of sprints are \
directly reflected in the quality of KDE software for users. Consequently, \
sprints and similar high impact get-togethers are the primary use of funds \
within KDE. This means that the KDE Community consistently offers the best \
of Free and Open technology.</p>
+<p>To support development sprints, we have set a fundraising goal of \
€<?php echo $goal; ?>. Please donate what you can to support KDE \
development. Any amount will help and is appreciated. The fundraising \
campaign will run until the end of the Randa Meetings on September 13th so \
that donors and users can share the experience and follow the progress.
+<p>Donors can choose to receive a memorable thank you from the Randa \
Meetings. If you want to receive a thank you from the Randa Meetings, \
please send an email to <a \
href="mailto:fundraiser@kde.org">fundraiser@kde.org</a>. Include your name, \
mailing address and the amount you donated.</p> +
