sorry, but after reading your answer, I am wondering, if KDE League is part 
of the KDE community or if it is only a bunch of people who takes all the 
money coming from big companies such as IBM, SuSE, Red Hat, etc. (I don't 
expect this, but who knows...) Why are the people not subscribed to the 
mailing lists? Who is in there anyway? What are you doing? The homepage is 
not very imformative... 

Right now I am in the organisation team for the KDE booth for the Linuxtag in 
Germany, which is probably the biggest event for KDE, since KDE is _very_ 
popular in Germany. So it should be possible, to get some money for 
organizing this... But all people tell me is, "there is no money for making 
flyers for linux expos, there no money for this, there is no money for that". 
What happens to the money. I thought (maybe this was stupid) that KDE League 
exists in order to provide promotion and promotion material.

Why don't KDE have professional posters and flyers (instead of these 
home-made not very-colorful 300dpi ink jet prints). Why don't we have CDs to 
sell? Where are the KDE t-shirts to sell? What about the marketing?

So, what happened already in the 6 months KDE League exists?
