This process is now developing from finding sponsors to more practical things, cash<br \/>\nflow, creating a webpage, all that stuff. Other hot items are the business cards, their workflow is<br \/>\n&#8211; thanks to Martijn&#8217;s great effort &#8211; getting more and more into shape. Hopefully we&#8217;re able to<br \/>\ndeliver the long-needed cards to their owners within the next couple of weeks, so please bear with<br \/>\nus a little more. Preparations for Linuxtag are also in full swing, writing a press release, getting<br \/>\nsome documentation for the booth team into shape, solving a couple of smaller logistical problems<br \/>\nsuch as buying a train ticket despite the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ns.nl\">Dutch Railways<\/a> best efforts<br \/>\nin preventing me from doing it. We&#8217;re also quite close to setting up a press channel, so we can<br \/>\ninform interested journalists more effectively of what&#8217;s happening in KDE. On the other hand, it&#8217;s<br \/>\ngood to see how much is happening, and that the Marketing Team is going forward at full steam.\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tMy paper I submitted to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.froscon.org\">FrOSCon<\/a> has been accepted, so<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll talk there about Marketing KDE. I&#8217;m kinda looking forward to this opportunity since my<br \/>\npresentation at FOSDEM back in february has been received very well. I&#8217;ve submitted another proposal<br \/>\nto <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desktopcon.org\">DesktopCon<\/a> which will take place in Ottawa in July. I&#8217;d<br \/>\nlike to use desktopcon as an opportunity to get in closer contact with a couple of guys from the<br \/>\nother side of the pond to streamline marketing efforts on the freedesktop.org platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim and me have finally finished the new cage of the chinchillas, so yesterday was the day &#8211; well the night &#8211; they could move into their new home.
