Hello,

Subscribing to the KDE Promo mailing list is a good start. From time to 
time, there will be requests for assistance on the list, as well as 
ideas for promotion. You can participate in any of those.

There are few concepts that define what we're doing and how.
* The Manifesto [1]
* The Code of Conduct [2]

In the past, we have not been aggressive (intrusive) with marketing 
efforts, which fits the general mood of the KDE Community (IMO). You're 
free to contribute what and how you want. A common way that people have 
promoted KDE is to participate in local tech and FOSS events. So MeetUps 
and technology advocacy groups might be fertile ground.

If you really want to jump into the KDE experience, you might consider 
attending Akademy [3] in Brno, Czech Republic, happening the 6th to 12th 
of September. The time is short, but it's the ultimate KDE thing.

Welcome.

Carl
