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
