Re: hello all!!

Hi Charlie,

welcome to the KDE community! :)

Thank you for reaching out and showing interest in becoming a Promo
contributor.

We're always looking for new people willing to spread the good word about
KDE software.

If you would like to help us, here are some things you can do:

1) join our IRC channel #kde-promo on freenode, or come to our Telegram
group: https://t.me/joinchat/AEyx-0O8HKmfJ50MByM4kg

In case you're not familiar with IRC, these instructions can help:
https://freenode.linux.community/how-to-connect/

The channel/group is the place where Promo contributors keep in touch.
Introduce yourself and feel free to ask anything you'd like to know about
KDE.

2) take a look at our workboard:
https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/222/

These are the tasks we're working on. If you find something you'd like to
help with, log in and leave a comment on that task. For that you will need
a KDE Identity account.

If you don't already have one, you can create it here:
https://identity.kde.org/

3) Follow us on social media! This is the easiest way to contribute to KDE
Promo - follow our accounts and share our content, or post KDE-related
content on your own social media profiles.

You can tag us in your posts, too. That way we can see them and share them
on our main accounts.

The list of our profiles is here:
https://community.kde.org/Promo/People/social_media

4) If you're interested in organizing your own KDE-related event, or
representing us at an existing one, take a look at our wiki:
https://community.kde.org/Promo/Events

Here you will find some basic information. If that doesn't answer all your
questions, just reach out to us here (on the mailing list) or in the IRC
channel/Telegram group linked above.

5) Last but not least, you mentioned you want to help promote Kubuntu
specifically. For that, we suggest you join their IRC channel (#kubuntu,
also on freenode). You can get some guidelines and advice there, or share
your own ideas for promoting Kubuntu.

Here's one from us: since the release of Kubuntu 18.04 is approaching, you
can share the news about the latest Beta release on your social media
profiles, and motivate people to test it! :)

https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-bionic-beaver-18-04-lts-beta-2-released/

Depending on where you're located in the world, you could also get in touch
with a local Kubuntu community in your area to make a more direct impact:

We hope this short intro to KDE Promo helped you, Charlie. We also hope to
see you very soon in our IRC channel/Telegram group.

If you have any questions, just let us know.

Looking forward to your first contribution :),

Ivana Isadora
