The newest regional group of KDE is also one with an
enormous potential, KDE India. Judging from the number of potential
users, KDE India’s importance for the future of KDE just cannot be overstated.
But also in terms of more strategic issues, there’s a lot KDE India can contribute: think
experience with eastern cultures, think merchandising, think issues in giant (geographically,
culturally) countries. KDE India can make KDE so much richer, especially regarding the lack of
coverage of KDE in eastern countries.
But not everything is easy, for example, a logo such as the one designed by Kenneth can mean
a legal challenge. Apparently, rules for using
official symbols in India are quite strict, using something strongly resembling the Indian national flag can make you a
criminal. Probably a good exercise for opening your mind and training intercultural communication
skills.
But then, it’s really refreshing to see an enthousiastic group of KDE people on the other
side of the world, both culturally and geographically working on getting KDE India off the ground
there.
