I don't have time to organize anything unfortunately. There will be a 
KDE meeting in Randa (Switzerland) in September and this location can 
accommodate several groups. Maybe that would be an option. It needs 
someone in contact with Mario Fux and KDE eV to set it up but 
accommodation and food would be provided.

The wiki does not fulfill any real life needs: there are no new slides 
and templates to use in talks on http://www.kde.org/kdeslides/, the 
artwork in not usable as it's too focused and lacks sources. The open 
content is old and not so open (I see .doc files...) The link to Wade 
Picasa posters leads to Wade personal pictures.
git and svn are not difficult to use as they have a web interface. We 
will never have any interesting and up-to-date material if we do not 
have a repository. I also mentioned in another mail that the French 
people wanted to translate the KDE booklet and start some scripts for 
demo machines. They had an interest in promoting KDE but this interest 
was cut flat because there is nothing to start from.

The wiki should explain where to find things but those things can only 
exist from sources in a repository. If we have no sources we can't do 
promo world wide.

Best regards,

Anne-Marie
