If we don't do it, who will?  We don't have a marketing department
dedicated to getting the info out, so, we have to shoulder the
responsibility.

There is the option of getting techno-savvy users, users that are
dedicated to the success of KDE, to work the marketing for us.  We would
have to be in contact with them on a regular basis, filling them in on the
latest updates.  Then, they would digest this information, wrap it up into
a slick marketing ball, and send it out.  I'm sure there are some users
out there with the mentality that they should give something back.  How
about that?
