-<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:

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>This year, the Randa Meetings \
