As I see it, I would think it easiest to segment by the following (with some 
overlap)

*Corporate - Project management, Kiosk, KOffice, KPilot/Kitchensync, upcoming 
ATC/VTC products, etc.
*Small/Medium Business - Similar to corporate, but with a focus on cost, ease 
in developing custom applications tailored to their specific business (I've 
generally found small businesses to be extremely focused in one area)
*Home User
  -  Basic - Email, Web, Etc.
  -  Multimedia Focus (content creation)
  -  Specialty (focus on atypically used apps, like Kile, KDissert (which is 
one of my favorite apps ever), KSimus, so on)
Kids (Edu)
Zealot - the open source advocate, additional focus on freedom, GPL, 
Trolltech's licensing, being cross platform, etc.

I won't be there, so thats why I'm responding here - food for thought.  More 
to come :)
