Hey,

So first up - I have to finish my PhD and am therefore useless on this until at 
least October.

So until then, I can only suggest what I think needs doing...

These are cool. I like the ideas of doing something special and collating 
them. Here's a suggestion:

Dot article on 1 October that:
- States it's KDE's 15th birthday in a couple of weeks and urges people to:
--Make a cake or take a picture of "KDE" in a creative way and start sending 
pictures to some email address (an @kde alias would be ideal)
--Tells them to look out for more on 14 October
(this gives us hopefully some cool stuff to put in the 14 Oct Dot article)

On 14 October:
- Dot article published and linked from all our social media channels
--Include the best pics we got in the appeal and links to a whole load of them
--Ask people to tweet what they are doing with hashtag kde15 (or whatever, but 
we should set something). Also for use on twitter etc
--Ask people to do something for KDE, one or more of:
---Donate 15 somethings in your local currency (works ok in $,£,Euro imho in 
some places 15 local makes no sense, so maybe we suggest equivalent of 15$ or 
Euro)
---Write a blog post about what KDE means to them, which could be a 15 things 
about KDE meme
---Tell 15 people about KDE
---Praise someone in the community (personally or in public)
---Most of all, tweet whatever they do/put it on facebook or wherever: "I just 
baked a cake for KDE's birthday [link to pic] #kde15
- Modify buzz.kde.org (or make a new page based on it) to collate only stuff 
with the hashtag we define.
- Get a banner on kde.org that links to the dot story or the buzz page


So, to do that the tasks would be:
- Two dot articles
- Talk to controllers of each social media channel and have them spread the 
word too (there's some automation already from dot articles). I'm one of the 
Facebook peeps so I can deal with that one.
- Talk to web team about buzz.kde.org
- Talk to sysadmins about possibility of an 15@kde.org or something alias that 
we can send to (e.g.) a GMail account to collect pic submissions.
- Contact the KDE e.V. members list in advance with a request for people to 
blog/tweet on the day (probably the best place to get a lot of people, we can 
consider other lists too)
- Harass one of our artists to do a KDE 15 logo for the banner


So what this really needs is someone 'in charge' to make sure things get done 
(something like the above, or whatever their vision is - it doesn't matter as 
long as it happens). It can't be me, but maybe Thomas? Carl? Anyone else?

Individual tasks can be taken by other people and I'll try and help in 
October.

Let's make this happen :-)

Stu
