(please answer only to kde-promo)

Hey, due to several reasons, it took me much longer to finally come up with a first draft. Sorry for that :/

Here [1] you can find a first alpha-version for a possible KDE Frameworks 5 poster. (This is also why the frameworks list is in CC.)

POSTER DRAFT:

[1] https://homepages.uni-paderborn.de/phoenixx/kdepromo/kf5_poster_v1.pdf

There are a few points to be said to this draft:

* some of the content comes from the KF5 flyer that was done last year

* the layout is just hand-made by me and I will reach out for the VDG in a different mail to let them tell me how to do it better :) specifically, there are numerous micro-optimizations that I will do once the content is fixed

* what I am currently need is some proof reading of the content:

- is everything correct?

- is something important missing?

- what about grammar/spelling?

My plan is to get this poster in a printable state until next Sunday (= 7 days from now on) to have it printed in time for Qt World Summit. I will try to send a draft for a poster about KDE Development tools tomorrow evening.

Cheers,

Andreas

PS: for completeness, especially for the KF5 list, please see my initial mail attached, which explains who the target audience for the poster is
