Hi,
I agree it's definitely a good point to show why people can be proud of
being part of KDE. It's something that we tend to forget about.. :)
Maybe it's obvious... ;) or not?

Hi there !<br>
<br>
First of all, for those who may not know me I'm NOT a person you should<br>
listen when it comes to promo. I'm horrible at it.<br>
<br>
With that previous warning in mind... let's get to the point.<br>
<br>
Millions of people are using our software, we have the biggest deployments out<br>
there like Portugal, Brasil or more recently Munich. You may think that<br>
knowing these facts is enough to motivate collaborators, to make them<br>
understand that what they are doing have an impact into society but I'm \
afraid<br> it is not.<br>
<br>
I have been having a few conversations with a wide range of collaborators and<br>
all of them agreed that they are doing KDE stuff because of the community, they<br>
don't belive that we are relevant. They are WRONG.<br>
<br>
So, I want to propose a series of posts that I CAN'T do and I CAN'T \
coordinate<br> to show with pictures, videos, interviews (facts) all our deployments \
world<br> wide. We don't necessarily have to aim only for big deployments, but \
also<br> cases like the small company that is more productive thanks to our \
software.<br> <br>
Let me stress that what we need are facts, interviews, videos, pictures...<br>
announcing these things won't work because well... you know what they say \
"If<br> I haven't seen it, then it doesn't exists" xD<br>
<br>
The Munich Linux guys are around Akademy, I'm going to approach them but<br>
should not do the actual interview... for our own sake xD<br>
<br>
So, what do you think? ramblings from a crazy developer?<br>
<br>
Cheerz !<br>
<br>
