Quite frankly, I'm not sure there is much more that a regional project can 
do.

I can think of the following tasks:
- translate the KDE website and news (dot, digest, etc.)
- add regional news
- promote gatherings, participate in conferences
- coordinate with the l10n team, when the team and the project aren't one 
and the same
- recruit new developers, translators, testers, etc.
- advocate KDE and FOSS in general among the government and industries
- set up and host aKademy :-)

The last two being, of course, a lot more difficult than the former ones.

Who do you think encouraged her to get the webspace in our servers? :-)

Those groups are in Europe. I can think of the UK and NL groups that 
should probably be of help. Maybe TR as well, since I hear they've 
started quite big already.

How are you doing in CA?
