If you are going to this event and would like to help, please check out the task: https://phabricator.kde.org/T17027 On with the Promo highlights for weeks 51 and 52, the last two working weeks of 2023. Enjoy. --- ### Things done * Started KDE Network Nepal * Promoted Brodie's interview with Kye Potter about the KDE Network * Collected data for Quarterly Newsletter and Advisory Board meetings. * Promoted CfP of conf.KDE.in * Promoted KDE activities in 37c3 * Having reached first goal, prepared supporting member campaign website for stretch goals * Promoted supporting member campaign and reached and passed second goal (550 members) * Continued working local journalists for promotion of CACD's computer lab * Re-wrote intro, edited text for announcement for Plasma 6 Beta 2 * Promoted release of Beta 2 to encourgae testing a bug reporting * Started test driving Plasma 6 and compiling screenshots/casts and first hand accounts for announcement * Prepared all spreadsheets for collecting data for the new year ### Things to do * Research ways of semi-automatically creating screenshots of software while it is being tested (<https://invent.kde.org/teams/automation/issues/-/issues/ 14#note_795599>) * Start to work on Annual Report 2023 * Merchandise and Budget for FOSDEM 2024. * Support in organizing conf.KDE.in * Finalizing collaboration with startpage * Preparing Quarterly Newsletter and presentation for Advisory Board meetings. * Promote KDE Network Nepal and start KDE Network in the UK ### Ongoing projects and periodic tasks * Finding and solving mistakes in websites and wikis * Moderating social media * Weekly data collection on followers from Twitter, Mastodon and Instagram. * Daily data collection from mentions of KDE, Kdenlive, Krita, etc., from media across the web. * Uploading and publishing Akademy2023 talks to YouTube and PeerTube and promoting it on Social Media. * Writing content for Akademy's website ### Discussion points * Work with sysadmin to see if we can find a reasonable way of creating an online Plasma 6 desktop for people to play with --- Unless someone can come up with something out-of-the-box quick, the last point will sone be moot, as we won't have time to implement and promote it with before the Plasma 6 release.
