Our plans for celebrating the 15th birthday of KDE didn't really pan out, did 
they? But is this a bad thing? I actually liked how it went. We didn't have a 
central press release, but we had lots of individual blogs, and the press 
picked up stuff from there. The birthday is kind of a personal thing, and 
that's what shows.

I think the best we did was to actually release exciting software just before 
the birthday, that's what matters, and it's good to see that we have our 
priorities right there.

What would help is having some building blocks for writing about KDE ready. 
Screenshots, landing pages for the products, photos and artwork to illustrate 
our central concepts. That could be more powerful than full-blown press 
releases, because it would make it easy for people to write their own stuff 
but using our messaging.
