Hey guys
Kubuntu aims to be *the* most vanilla KDE distribution. Most Kubuntu
members have close ties to KDE, and many are even KDE e.V members. We
all collectively care a lot about KDE.
One of the ways KDE improves it software is by enabling the developers
to communicate in person. This is done via sprints, and via the yearly
conference of Akademy. Kubuntu has always played a vital part in this
conference and sometimes hosts a special Kubuntu day as well.
Given this close relationship between us, and how Kubuntu clearly
wants KDE to succeed. Perhaps some of the donations Kubuntu receives
could be upstreamed to KDE. Kubuntu obviously has its own costs, but
perhaps a certain part of your spare budget could be allocated to KDE.
One simple way of doing this could be by becoming a sponsor for
Akademy. It would increase Kubuntu's already massive popularity, and
I'm sure the KDE Developers would quite appreciate it, and reserve a
cozy place in theirs hearts cause of that.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Hi
At present I am not aware of any mechanism the Kubuntu community has in
place for fund raising.
I understand we can apply for funds from the Ubuntu flavours fund.
I would like to see that change, so that Kubuntu can and does
raise its own
funds. The issue seems to be creating an administration
function for tax and
accounting purposes. This is a role that Canonical provides IIRC.
Would KDE e.V be in a position to provide such a function ?
For my part, I have made an open committment onlist to work on Kubuntu
promotion, advocacy and profile. I would be delighted to add fund raising
into that mix.
Hope this is useful
The KDE eV has a Community Partnership Program [1]. If you are
interested, you're very welcome to get in touch with the KDE eV Board.
HTH,

Hi
This looks interesting, Perhaps this idea of independent find raising
could be put on the Agenda of the Kubuntu Community council ?
Thanks
Rick
