He... already in work ;-)
Do you want to help with such a site? I am already working on a 
events.kde.org site. But I don't want to handle money stuff (and I also don't 
have time for that) - KDE Leage and KDE e.V. still give money. Although it's 
not transparent I still prefer it this way.

good idea, didn't think about that :-)

There already exit brochures and posters. We made them for Linuxtag, Germany 
last year.

There are already plans to make a deal with Freiberg Net for european fairs.
As with brochures, business cards, posters and T-Shirts we always have the 
problem of transports costs, so I think we have to localize teams. Right now 
the fairs where we are present are in Europe (largest in Germany) and in USA, 
but maybe there are more people interested?
Maybe you can make a deal with Cafepress in the USA. There already exist 
T-Shirts for KDE, but beware - I don't know the name of the person who gets 
the money, so maybe you should start something new.

> (6) (perhaps) sets up a paypal account for receiving donations for PR.
Well ok, as I said above... not me.

Cheers,
eva
