yeah could be nice.

I think we should see this meeting more globally as the marketing platform 
that KDE uses is pretty much new and incomplete, the KDE4 proposals for 
marketing would only be the theme of our marketing plans.

I know a few things have been proposed based on sebas' presentation and Tom 
Chance's articles. But I think some of the points brought on both side needs 
to be discussed about and get more thought through.

Basically, what would need to be planned out is a basic structure of how the 
marketing platform should be used by us and how could the people that 
develops softwares for KDE could benefit from us.

We need to remind ourselves that we have three different set of customers we 
are serving with promoting KDE:

1. Users
2. Enterprise
3. KDE Project.

The KDE-magazine that Troy Unray (sry if it's not how it's spelled) thought 
about was a pretty good start at delivering a nice marketing framework for 
the the KDE project.

Our website on www.kde.org is most probably focussed on delivering content to 
end users more than enterprises. It also provides information for new comers 
that would like to start developing. You could agree that this website would 
need some more love from us, the marketing team.

The enterprises get most of our promotion through the events. These events 
should get more "marketized" once the new SpreadKDE framework will go live as 
our main priority was to deliver a good framework for people organizing 
events.

I think all of this could well possibly talked about on a marketing meeting. 

Weekends are good for me too.. just depend what time as I live in Quebec, not 
in Europe :)
