Hello Lydia,

Okay, but we are approaching it only from the angle of what Promo can do to 
facilitate this. That is, "selling" KDE to other organisations to convince 
them to join us and then facilitating the communication between those 
organisations and the groups within KDE to make whatever has to happen 
(organise joint sprints, join the Advisory Board, etc.) happen.

Do you think so? Won't it come over as if Promo is dictating what the 
community should do, when it should be the other way around?
