It would be great if we could have a promotional website where we could find
everything to promote KDE, like drafts of folders and brochures or examples
from previous events, all logo's and pictures of our masquotte
Since these may also be available on the artists website, maybe the pics
could be linked to the artists page?

This is in my personal point of view not promotion but PR, but since we do
not have a separate press-mailinglist it can be considdered as promotion as
well. You should contact Danny Allen and Jos Poortvliet, they can be
considdered as die-hard-press-guys.

Here we need detailed information. I sometimes notice that KDE-people are
just hanging around at the booth, just to make clear "Hey I am also a
KDE-dude!" This can be very disrupting. I am absoluty not telling that
these people shouldn't be there, on the contrary, we should take them apart
for like 15 minutes, give them a short but stunning tutorial on how to
attract people to the booth and how to give information to potential users
and contributors. Because I think that these people just wanna help out at
the booth, but dont really know where help is needed or how.

you mean merchanising? Because this is really vague to me...

> Speaking at conferences
I have a book on how to do a presentation and also followed several courses
in this. maybe I can make a "tips and tricks" page for this? Matthew
Rosewarn and I where talking about starting up kind of a workgroup for
giving advice and courses to those who want some help in "giving a
presentation"
