It does. You just have to communicate your demands and needs by CCing the 
appropriate messages to pour@kdeleague.org

It's common to reuse stuff as long as it is not way out of date (in terms of 
KDE's "Corporate Itentity" and such)

that's what kde-events and the league should be for. You should also try to 
contact local bureaus of league members.

Yes, here in germany, tackat, our well know artist, prepares the stuff, for 
example he prepared a quite huge (A2 IIRC) printout of a common KDE 2.2.2 
desktop as boothdeco and eyecatcher.

In these cases, personal mails commonly help, *pushing people* is a common 
business here, I know :/

For the flyers, we should coordinate stuff, Tackat? T-Shirts should also be 
done centrally, for CI's sake. Again: Tackat? Andreas?

Larger costs can be covered by the League or KDE e.V. It's as simple as asking 
the responsible persons first.

This is:

KDE League: Andreas Pour <pour@kdeleague.org> (esp. for larger projects can be 
payed via the Leagues Credit Card, needs coordination)

KDE e.V.: Mirko Boehm <boehm@home.com>

And please keep in mind to use the list also for such mails, otherwise, the 
same question arise again and again...

I will CC this mail to all responsible people to comment on this and / or 
correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers,

</daniel>
