20th birthday

KDE will celebrate its 20th birthday on 14th of October 2016. It all started with this email.

Brainstorming

We should ...

Organize big birthday parties all over the world
Use the Akademy group pictures to make a timeline for each Akademy attendee
KDE1 theme for Plasma
Grand total of commits/bug reports/bug fixes per person
Sell signed limited edition KDE software release
Promo video, showcased as primary part of KDE.org homepage. Showing examples of KDE software in use all over the world.
Party with major press, not only tech invited, to show KDE to world
Update behindkde.org with more content
People/Organizations behind KDE videos/documentaries
Do a special event at QtCon where we invite relevant people from KDE's history, have a series of brief lightning talks from them, record them, celebrate
Do an interview with the founders of KDE at the original place where it happened (it supposedly was a table in the cafeteria)
Publish articles about KDE's birthday in the relevant magazines and news sites
Provide a press kit for "20 years of KDE"
Contact old-timers and drag (some of) them to QtCon
Get a 20 anniversary design for kde.org
Kate got this year 15 years old (cf. Kate gets 10 years old), and Kate is available on Windows as standalone application
... your idea here

Feel free to take any task, your help is very welcome!
