Well, I'm part of the NaLUG from 2 years. NaLUG means "Napoli Linux Users 
Group". The LUG are spread in all the cities and always at the end of 
November of each year ILS (www.linux.it) announce the "Linux Day" dates. The 
topic of the event is to promote Linux and the free software 
(http://www.linux.it/LinuxDay/main.shtml), so as a KDE translator and 
developer I have felt the necessity to talk about KDE to the Italian new 
Linux users. This is the second year for me with my LUG. We posted the 
announce of NaLUG Linux Day all around with the flyer about the event, I 
personally posted on 2 famous Italian site the announce about the event 
(www.wup.it, www.ziobudda.net), someone else on the University students 
forums.
I helped some friend to found some link about the Trusted Computer to prepare 
their presentation.
I worked on the presentation about KDE introducing the base of Linux and 
talking about the story of Linux birth, KDE birth and the the GPL Qt 
Trolltech story. After this I introduced all the main KDE feature. I talked 
about the Malaga prize for KPDF authors, I talked about the edu project 
showing Kalzium and KStars. I talked about KOffice and OpenDocument then 
someone asked about the KDE development after I tryed to say "help KDE" :) . 
Also if my presentation is quite big I showed it quickly using less then 40 
minutes question included. I should do better next time. I think to divide my 
future presentations in 2 parts. The first part just for the new users and 
the second part for the people that use KDE every day and talk about the 
develop about KDE (KParts, DCOP, create some application on the fly with 
KDevelop).
Infact the 40% of the audiences of the Linux Day in Napoli use KDE and know 
it, so could be more interesting talk them about the "behind the scenes 
developing". Will be for the next year or for some other event :) .
In any case a lot of people liked my presentation. The were interested to try 
KDE 3.5.0 so I talked them about Slax and few days later the presentation the 
KDE 3.5.0 was released :D .
The University classroom (where there was the conferences) was quite full 
60-90 people. I consider it a good result also because of the rain and some 
block of the public transpots. :D . I hope I explained all without to be 
boring :) .

Regards,
Giovanni
