Notes

A list of things of what is going on
- Conferences, who is going to what, whats in the area
We're somehow not reaching other people
- Only four developers came to Akademy 2012.
- There are more, but we can't find them.
- Two Akronites came to the 4.5 release party, not counting tdfischer
Why is it popular in europe?
- Parties in bars? Probably not. We should have 100 by now.
At Linux Fests, people talk about Linux. We should be a grassroots movement by going to all the fests (all of them) and finding people.
Fests/Conventions
- LinuxCon - We have a booth every year!
- Oscon - Maybe have a BoF?

What are we trying to do?

Grow KDE in the USA

Impossible!?
Outreach, yes. Talking to people, yes.
- Linux Action Show
No way to gauge involvement success
"If you want to do amazing stuff with this amazing organization, KDE is the place for you."
Somehow encourage people to get involved after we meet them at the conventions.
Come to our parties. Srsly.
Have a sign up. Do you use KDE? Do you know C++? "What better place could you volunteer than KDE?!"
LUGS??? (answer: yes.)
"Its not a puzzle what we're trying to do. We want users, developers, and companies who are using KDE and are open to something about it."
- We need goals for this ^
- Developers: Want to make a difference in your life? Know about bugfixes or C++? DO YOU LIKE TO PARTY AND/OR ROCK? Contribute to KDE.
