This was just a little reference to the protests around here and likely elsewhere , and I did not ask to include it in anything official related to the KDE project. As written I am fine with the proposal Thomas shared. However I am off to the protests now. -- Martin

I fully support this beautiful proposal! Many thanks, Thomas. What do we choose? Climate Action. When do we choose it? Now. (I know it is a slight, but I feel important variation of what I heard and also sung on the demonstrations.) :) Best, -- Martin
Re: Should KDE join the (Digital) Global Climate Strike this friday? - Proposal
Hey everyone, Here is a concrete proposal which I've just brought up on the promo channel and which seems to gain support there: - Add a banner on our website _today_ informing about the Global Climate Strike which starts tomorrow and telling that we support it (not covering the whole website, just big enough that people notice it) - Post on social media _today_, telling people that we think the strike is important - Do _not_ use the JavaScript which does the "blackout" tomorrow. Reasoning: The blackout thing is indeed more of a grand gesture of solidarity, which in itself doesn't do much, at least on our website. The strike is mainly aimed at politicians, and I don't think many of them even go to our website. However, telling our audience about the strike and showing our support _today_ may motivate some people to join, and that does have an effect. Politicians don't care about FOSS websites showing a banner, but they do care about millions of people protesting out on the streets. I know they do, because they have told me, in person, when I paid them visits together with other climate activists. They told me "If you want us politicians to listen, don't sign online petitions. Go out on the streets in really big numbers!" Would anybody have serious concerns about that? Cheers, Thomas
