Still catching up on email. Here is my adapted story, which I also
submitted to the Dot:

KDE signs the User Data Manifesto 2.0 and continues to defend your freedom

KDE (through KDE e.V.) is one of the launch partners and initial
signatories of the User Data Manifesto 2.0 [link
https://userdatamanifesto.org/]. The User Data Manifesto defines basic
rights for people to control their own data in the internet age:

Control over user data access
Knowledge of how the data is stored
Freedom to choose a platform

KDE e.V. President Lydia Pintscher explains [link:
http://blog.lydiapintscher.de/2015/09/03/kde-signs-the-user-data-manifesto-2-0-and-continues-to-defend-your-freedom/]
"I believe that in today’s world where more and more of our daily life
depends on technology it is crucial that people have control over that
technology. You should be empowered to know what your technology does
and you should be empowered to influence it. This is at the core of
Free Software. Unfortunately it is not at the core of most of the
technology people interact with every day – quite the opposite –
walled gardens and locks wherever you look with few exceptions.

"KDE is working hard to provide you with technology that you control
every single day so you are empowered and the one ultimately in charge
of your technology, data and life – the basis for freedom for many
today. This is written down in the first sentence of our manifesto:
“We are a community of technologists, designers, writers and advocates
who work to ensure freedom for all people through our software.”

Pintscher then asks, "Do you want to join us in providing more people
with more access to Free technology? Today is a good day![link:
