Sorry for the late response. KDE has a press list, managed by Sebas and Lydia. 
You can do what I usually do in openSUSE with the press list: send a link to 
this kit a few days before the release, telling them they can use it any way 
they want as long as they wait with publishing anything until the release 
time/date. You'd have to ping Sebas and Lydia if they can/want to do this.

I'd be more than happy to include this in openSUSE's marketing materials. 
We're a proud Krita distribution after all ;-)

Any chance you can send me the sources? I'd add a geeko and a link to where 
ppl can get the latest Krita for openSUSE and put it in lots of boxes (list of 
the events we visit with these materials: 
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors_events )

... and KDE friendly distro's can and should use it too :D

The handout has a link to where people can buy it, right? It might be nice if 
we (openSUSE again) would have a sample at least for the larger events... 
Could be a nice way to expose lots of people. I'm sure the vast majority of 
people at events have never heard of Krita (sad truth...) and quite a number 
might be interested in this.
