A much more lasting advertisement strategy is probably to write (or get 
others to write) articles for your local Linux magazines.
LinuxUser (a german magazine) has written various articles in the past on 
the subject and those always generate new users due to exposing features 
most users really like, but don't know how to do.
This is naturally not limited to paper articles; but those are sure to get 
the most exposure.

Think things like this: http://www.virtualsky.net/daves/2005-06.htm
I'll repeat the question from you on the kde-i18n-nl list since the NL team 
is pretty proud with a very complete translation of strings and docs, 
something that can surely be highlighted in local settings as well.  Its 
good to see translators (Natalie in this case) even translated the above 
linked howto into Dutch :)

With the time it normally takes for paper articles to go to print, everyone 
that wants to write an article for a paper magazine, this is probably the 
perfect time since 1.4 is certainly out by the time the article is printed.

ideas;
- using best features from KOffice in your OOo documents (since we share 
fileformat)
- Professional markup of your document with KWord (text,- frame,- and table 
styles for consistency)
or pick a new feature from the changes document :)
