We have to be careful there. Though they give a lot of positive coverage to 
KDE, they will be aware of the need to be relatively unbiased in terms of 
what free software they promote. Their approach, I'm sure, is just to give 
coverage to what they happen to think is best.

We already have a few KDE contributors writing for them, with Jes Hall doing 
regular articles. It's probably better to just send them good, timely press 
releases and encourage more people to submit articles to them, than to cosy 
up to them which might make them uncomfortable.

We should be doing this for all press, of course :)

Regards,
Tom
