We should get this out soon. KDE Espana is already planning a
more-or-less national event. Latinoware has got a 15 year graphic.

I added some suggestions for what people can do, along with a link to
KDE Espana's website.

If there are no more changes or suggestions, would someone please review.

It is not necessary to change the donation webpage right now. We
should take a look at it and coordinate with whoever is admin for that
page.

Carl
