Hi everyone.  Just 4 quick things I wanted to point out to the community regarding various Promo activities.  If you’re one of those people lurking about Planet KDE who’s been itching to start contributing, here are some ideas for you to get started.

First, not too long ago I made a YouTube video about a use case for Marble, one of our KDE Education applications.  This has now been posted on the official KDE YouTube channel.  Go check it out!  And make sure you check out all the other cool videos there while you’re at it.  James Cain (our recent Camp KDE “Be Free” award winner) has done a fabulous job reworking the look of the site and accumulating some new videos lately.  You can even subscribe so that you get an alert when new videos are posted.  Very cool stuff.  However we can always use more videos.  I created mine simply using Kdenlive in less than an evening.  If you think you’d be interested in giving this a try just drop me a line and I’ll help you get up and running.

Second, I wanted to mention is that we’re still working on the formation of an awesome KDE apparel store.  Right now we need two things relating to this project.  If you have an idea for a design that you’d like to see on a KDE shirt/hat/etc drop me a comment below and I’ll add it to the list for consideration.  In the end we’ll be picking the best ideas and then searching out artists to design them. We’ve already received some excellent proposals and I can’t wait to hear some more ideas.  So don’t be shy, let us know what you want to be wearing.  Also,  if you’re an artist who’s interested in helping out with actually creating these things please let me know that as well!

Third, the Promo team is still working away on the 4.4 SC Feature Guide.  If you have some spare time to contribute towards helping us with this document just drop a line to kde-promo at kde dot org and say you want to help with the guide.  We’ve got a handy how-to guide that Jos kindly wrote up which we can send you on how to get started right away.

Fourth, we could still use some help if anyone has some time to work on the kde.org relaunch.  Check out Lydia’s post on the subject for more info on how you can contribute.
