Prople,

I talked with a friend in munich and she told me that she doesn't needs to
work right now and she can help kde promo in full time without getting paid.
I'm having a meeting with her today to see if this is really possible.

At the board meeting last weekend we discussed which area of KDE would<br>
benefit the most from some paid support by a contractor for a limited<br>
time and where we would get the most bang for the buck so to speak. We<br>
have discussed various options, including fundraising and website<br>
coding. In the end in our opinion it seems best to get someone who can<br>
support you, the KDE Promo Team. The board has various ideas for the<br>
specific tasks for the person but I&#39;d like to hear from you if you<br>
generally agree with getting a contractor and what you think the<br>
person should focus on.<br>
