=Jobs=<br />
<br />
Here are a list of ideas for things that you can do to get involved with the KDE Promotion team. Each task has a contact name for someone who can guide you through what is needed. There is also space to put your name to indicate that you are working on the task, to avoid duplication of effort.<br />
<br />
When signing up or asking for a task, you can contact the mentor directly (their name should link to a page with contact details) or send a mail to the kde-promo mailing list. It is generally better to do the latter in case the initial mentor is busy and so that you can get more feedback, meet everyone and let everyone know that you are working on it.<br />
<br />
This list is far from complete and we welcome your own ideas for things that you would like to do, articles you would like to write and so on. Just contact the kde-promo list to discuss.<br />
<br />
==Write feature or news articles for KDE.News==<br />
<br />
Are you interested in writing articles for KDE's official news outlet, [http://dot.kde.org KDE.News]? You can have a look at the guidance on articles we accept and come up with your own idea or take up one of the suggestions below.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in an option below, fill in your name under 'Asigned to' (it's ok, that doesn't commit you to writing it) and contact either the 'Contact' or, preferably, kde-promo@kde.org to let us know you are working on it and to ask any questions (such as who you should contact for further information).<br />

You can also promote specific teams like Bugsquad. You can join a specific team like kde-games or bugsquad to help them with promo things. Fix their webpage, write dot articles, do interviews, attend and write about meetings, help with announcements. It's very much fun to do, you'll get to know one of those cool teams, they'll appreciate you a lot, and you'll learn new things while doing it! <br />

==Write opinion articles for KDE.News==<br />
<br />
Generally we expect that the people writing these articles have some kind of qualification to talk about the issue - so you will probably have worked in the relevant area, either within or outside of KDE. Views external to KDE can be just as valuable as they may challenge some ideas that we hold. If you're not sure, just send an email to kde-promo@kde.org to ask.<br />

<hr />
<div>For giving application developers - and in particular third party developers - a way to identify themselves with KDE and to label their software as such, we provide a standard set of KDE software labels. These can be used to communicate that developers feel themselves to be part of the KDE community or that they use the KDE platform. They can be used for example on application websites, in the about dialog of applications or in general communication about releases. They can be particularly useful in cases where it is not obvious that an application is part of KDE or making use of KDE technology.<br />
<br />
You can download the images from the [http://http://www.kde.org/stuff/clipart.php official KDE graphics page].<br />
<br />
=Choosing a label=<br />
<br />
To be able to express different aspects of the relationship to KDE and provide some variety for application authors we provide a choice of three labels, which are recommended for use with KDE software:<br />
<br />
==Powered by KDE==<br />
This label encompasses the dual meanings of software that derives its strength from our fantastic community and from the KDE development platform. This label is recommended for all free software applications whose developers feel part of the KDE community or which make use of KDE technology.<br />
==Built on the KDE Platform==<br />
This label has been chosen for the simplicity of the message it provides: this application uses the KDE platform. It is recommended for all application authors who want to stress their use of KDE technology.<br />
==Part of the KDE family==<br />
We recommend this label for application authors who in particular see themselves as part of the KDE community - and we hope anyone producing free software with KDE technology sees themselves this way.</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Promo/Scratchpad/Desktop_Summit_2011&diff=13502Promo/Scratchpad/Desktop Summit 20112011-06-23T13:14:46Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: </p>

<hr />
<div>==Day 1==<br />
<br />
[[File:webteamlogo.png|right]]<br />
<br />
===Userbase===<br />
* lqt can't be solved atm, the extension is not stable atm<br />
* instructions are changed for editing pages<br />
* testing anonymous edits and see if it works out to reach new contributions<br />
* sidebar is changed to reflect easier use<br />
* /en pages are finally fixed!!!!! (niklas)<br />
* slightly changed background/color (eugene)<br />
* translation memory fixed, learns from translators (niklas)<br />
* archived (NS "Archive") pages automagically gets a noindex & nofollow entry in the html header (niklas & matthias)<br />
<br />
===Mainsite===<br />
* toma is evil, we plan to trash capacity in favour of joomla<br />
* new main site, reduce amount of blocks, new structure, new menu, new layout, less content on frontpage<br />
<br />
===Server side===<br />
<br />
* stats set up on spider for capacity driven sites, needs to be watched for one month to see if the subdomains even make sense.<br />
<br />
===other issues===<br />
<br />
* the webteam now has a logo, thanks to eugene<br />
* some cleaning up of the svn repos of kde websites<br />
<br />
<br />
==Day 2==<br />
<br />
===UserBase===<br />
* Tidy up codetags - clarifying and defining use<br />
* Increasing visibility of help files - sidebar links<br />
* (Niklas) Moving pages including all translations - not possible to move before if a page had translations (new pages often have translations within 24 hours)<br />
* Work on new UserBase logo (Eugene)<br />
* New icon template (Claus) easily insert oxygen icons<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a guide primarily for Dot editors (it could also be useful for contributors, but I think it would be better to include a shortened version on formatting in the Dot submission page).<br />
<br />
=Drupal=<br />
<br />
When you log in as an editor, you can see what is in the queue by visiting:<br />
<br />
[http://dot.kde.org/admin/content/node http://dot.kde.org/admin/content/node]<br />
<br />
To create a new article choose 'Create Content' from the right hand side panel in the Dot home page.<br />
<br />
You always want to create a 'Story' in the page that comes next.<br />
<br />
For each article you will see a 'View' tab and an 'Edit' tab (you go straight in to the editor when you create a new story following the steps above).<br />
<br />
The editor has the following fields (some may only be available to administrators)<br />
<br />
==Title==<br />
This should be snappy and try and include the main point of the story or something to draw in the reader:<br />
<br />
Bad: "KDevelop 4.1 Released"<br />
<br />
Good: "KDevelop 4.1 Brings Git Integration"<br />
<br />
Titles should be in title case- i.e. the first letter of all words except conjunctives, articles and prepositions ('and', 'a', 'the', 'of' etc) are capitalised. So:<br />
<br />
"KDevelop 4.1 Brings Git Integration and Better PHP Support"<br />
<br />
==Dot Categories==<br />
Try and choose the most appropriate one. This is more of an art than a science.<br />
<br />
==Body==<br />
The article - more on this under the HTML section below. What you have to enter is more or less normal HTML, although Drupal can automate a few things for you.<br />
<br />
===Summary and main text===<br />
In some browsers, you see two boxes, one for the summary and one for the main text. In others (Konqueror with KHTML) you only see one. The boxes allow you to write a summary text for the front page and a main text shown on the article page. There is a check box to choose whether the summary is shown in the main view. If you check this (checked by default) then you only need to type the introductory paragraph once. If you want the front page text to not be the same as the start of the main text then uncheck this box.<br />
<br />
For browsers that do not show the two boxes, you can define the split for what ends up on the front page by typing:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><!--break--></nowiki><br />
<br />
Generally, we dont' do a separate front page text as often the first paragraph of the main text serves the purpose. If you use a browser that only shows one box and don't type in the <nowiki><!--break--></nowiki> manually then Drupal tries to guess the right point - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.<br />
<br />
==Input Format==<br />
Most of the time you'll want to change this to 'Full HTML'. It is always fine to set it to full HTML, but on occasion for very simple articles 'Filtered HTML' might work too. If the article looks wrong when you preview it, you probably forgot to change this.<br />
<br />
'Filtered HTML' is default so that people posting comments are limited in what they can do.<br />
<br />
==Language==<br />
Always leave this as 'Language neutral'<br />
<br />
==Menu Settings==<br />
Do not touch anything in here<br />
<br />
==Authoring information==<br />
Put in the author's user name. If the submission came via the Dot form then this is included in the email to the list. Otherwise you can use the Dot search form to search for the user name. You'll see matches as you type.<br />
<br />
The time field you normally leave blank, then it is filled in with the time that you submit the whole form. Generally when you publish the article, you want to make this field blank so that it is published with the publication time/date rather than the article creation time/date<br />
<br />
==Revision Information==<br />
We normally don't bother with making separate revisions. However, if you are making major changes that you or someone else might want to revert then tick this box and describe the revision to identify it.<br />
<br />
==Publishing Options==<br />
These are the bits that determine when and how the article becomes public. Ticking 'Published' allows anyone with the correct URL to see the article. It also lets Google and other search engines see the article, so it should not be used until the article is fully published. However, ticking 'Published' does not make the article visible on the Dot front page - 'Promoted to front page' does that. So if someone on the list asks you to 'publish' an article, they mean tick both 'Published' and 'Promoted to front page'<br />
<br />
We rarely use 'Sticky at the top of lists'. It is really only used if there is a very big announcement that should stay on top for a few days. Generally in that case we don't publish other articles for a few days, rather than have them appear second or third on the list - so discuss on the mailing list before using this.<br />
<br />
==File Attachments==<br />
Pretty self explanatory. We do not tend to tick any of the 'list' checkboxes. If you upload two files withe the same name, Drupal will append '_0', '_1' etc to the file names.<br />
<br />
Tip: if you are using Konqui (with KHTML, not sure about WebKit) then you can type the address to a remote file directly in to the file chooser dialog, rather than having to download it to your system first.<br />
<br />
Loose conventions are to use the suffix '-small', '-sml' or '-wee' for smaller versions of larger images when both are uploaded - it makes it immediately obvious which is which if you have 'screenshot1.png' and 'screenshot1-sml.png'.<br />
<br />
Images that are going to be floated right or left in the article are typically about 300px wide. Main images that will be centred can be up to 500px wide. Large versions of images that will be linked to can be any size (though there is a 2mb limit on uploads). Practically, there's no point wasting bandwidth with images larger than a typical display size unless there is interesting fine detail, so I often resize large images to about 1000px maximum dimension too.<br />
<br />
==URL Path Settings==<br />
You almost certainly do not want to change this. The only exception would be if you accidentally publish with the wrong date or a typo in the title and want to correct that without breaking incoming links (that are syndicated in RSS, Identi.ca, Facebook etc within a few minutes of publishing). If I remember correctly, this option is only available to administrators.<br />
<br />
==Comment Settings==<br />
No need to change this - always leave it at Read/Write<br />
<br />
==Save and Preview Buttons==<br />
<br />
'Save' submits you changes. 'Preview' shows you what text/images will be on the Dot front page and the main page - but note that it doesn't save your changes. It is always worth checking thr 'Preview' before you finally publish to be sure what is going to the front page makes sense.<br />
<br />
<br />
=HTML=<br />
<br />
Drupal will automate a few things for you. There is no need to use <nowiki><p> tags (although you can include them and it is sometimes useful if you need to set a custom style - i.e <p style="...">).</nowiki> Drupal will also turn http://example.com into a link and will do the same with email addresses.<br />
<br />
==Links==<br />
<br />
So the basic things you need to write the HTML for are links, where you want the link text to be something other than the address, i.e.:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><a href="http://example.com">the link</a><br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
Note, we try and make the links descriptive, so we would have:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>"for more information please see the <a href="http://example.com">Foo project website</a>"</nowiki><br />
<br />
rather than:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>"for more information please <a href="http://example.com">click here</a>"<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
==Images==<br />
<br />
The URL for the images you uploaded are displayed under each upload in the 'File Attachments' tab.<br />
<br />
===Basic Image Insertion===<br />
<br />
The basic way of including an image is nested in a floating div like so:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><div style="float: right; padding: 1ex; margin: 1ex; border: 1px solid grey;"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/imagename.png" /><br />Image caption</div></nowiki><br />
<br />
To link to a larger version of the image (that you already uploaded) use: <br />
<br />
<nowiki><div style="float: right; padding: 1ex; margin: 1ex; border: 1px solid grey;"><a href="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/largeimagename.png"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/smallimagename.png" /></a><br />Image caption</div><br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
Note - in most cases you do not need to specify the size for the div as it scales to the image. However, if you have a long caption it will stretch the div rather than wrap on to multiple lines. In that case you must specify the div width (add 4px to the image width) with something like:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><div style="width: 252px; float: right; padding: 1ex; margin: 1ex; border: 1px solid grey;"><a href="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/largeimagename.png"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/smallimagename.png" /></a><br />Image caption</div></nowiki><br />
<br />
You can of course also float images to the left and if there are a lot of images to fit in then it makes sense to use both.<br />
<br />
Attach your <nowiki><div>...</div></nowiki> to the start of a paragraph where you want the image inserted. Do not separate the image and paragraph with a line break.<br />
<br />
===Inserting a set of images===<br />
<br />
This is a fairly recent addition (as far as I know) but useful for a set of images that otherwise would be difficult to position and it is also a bit of a time saver). This allows you to vertically stack a set of images in a single div and group them within one border with one caption. It is useful for screenshots and was used, for example, in [http://dot.kde.org/2010/10/17/kde-telepathy-sprint the KDE Telepathy Sprint report] (foot of page on right hand side).<br />
<br />
They are done like so:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><div style="float: right; border: 1px solid grey; padding: 1ex; width: 249px; margin: 1ex"><a href="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/1.jpg"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/small1b.jpg" /></a><a href="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/2.jpg"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/small2b.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/3.jpg"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/small3b.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/4.jpg"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/small4b.jpg" /></a><br />See a preview of some of the results from the sprint in the screenshots above<br />
</div></nowiki><br />
<br />
The important thing here is that to make the images stack, you must specify the div width (image size plus 4px seems to work)<br />
<br />
===Inserting a large feature image===<br />
<br />
Occasionally we want to have a large centred image. The main use case is a group photo from a sprint where a larger image makes it possible to see people more easily. Often, they also have a long caption that is done outside of the image.<br />
<br />
These are done like so:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><div style="position: relative; left: 50%; padding: 1ex; margin-left: -231px; width: 464px; border: 1px solid grey"><img src="http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/KDETelepathy.jpg" /></a></div></nowiki><br />
<br />
The points here are that again you center the div by using position:relative, a left position of 50% and a negative left margin equal to half the image width plus 2px while setting the div width to the image width plus 4px (experiment with adjusting these values if it doesn't look quite right).<br />
<br />
Recent convention seems to have the captions outside of the image, but there's no real reason why they could not be included with the <nowiki><br /></nowiki> tag used for other images.<br />
<br />
==Videos==<br />
<br />
Todo. Should also include a mechanism to link to the video in a free format<br />
<br />
Here is a basic example:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><div style="float: right; padding: 1ex; margin: 1ex; border: 1px solid grey; width: 480px;"><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYK_lHoA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed><br />Krita Training DVD Trailer (<a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Krita-CreatingComicsWithKritaPreTrailer537.webm">Download in WebM format</a> )</div><br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
==Headings==<br />
<br />
The Dot headline uses <nowiki><h1></nowiki> already, so begin any subheadings at <nowiki><h2></nowiki> and work downwards from there.<br />
<br />
==Lists==<br />
<br />
We use standard HTML lists. Either ordered (with numbers):<br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
<ol><br />
<li>List item</li><br />
<li>Next list item</li><br />
</ol><br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
Or unordered (dot default is square bullets):<br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
<ul><br />
<li>List item</li><br />
<li>Next list item</li><br />
</ul><br />
</nowiki></div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011&diff=12283Sprints/Promo/20112011-05-18T16:52:19Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: Create report about the promo sprint</p>
<hr />
<div>The [http://community.kde.org/Promo KDE Promotion Team] organised a Sprint in Southampton in May 2011.<br />
<br />
=Report=<br />
<br />
==Attendees==<br />
The following people attended:<br />
* Lukas Dzikaras<br />
* Agustín Benito Bethencourt<br />
* Claudia Rauch<br />
* Stuart Jarvis<br />
* Pau Garcia i Quiles<br />
* Damien Tardy-Panis<br />
* Justin Kirby<br />
* Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen<br />
<br />
This was the first promo sprint attended by all but Justin, Claudia and Stuart.<br />
<br />
==Results==<br />
The following key issues were addressed:<br />
<br />
===Join the Game===<br />
We spent some time brainstorming ways to promote Join the Game, our membership campaign which encourages individuals to support KDE financially. This included the production of new web graphics to help people promote the program and consolidation of existing resources into one place.<br />
<br />
We also reviewed the new Join the Game website, replaced the text and modified the layout. As a result of this work, the new website went live at Linux Tag a few days later.<br />
<br />
===Desktop Summit Planning===<br />
<br />
We reviewed the tasks needed for the Berlin Desktop Summit, worked on the program announcement and had an IRC meeting with GNOME representatives to agree scheduling and duties. This laid the groundwork for the announcement of the program two weeks later.<br />
<br />
===Promotion Infrastructure Housekeeping===<br />
<br />
We tidied up the promotion team wiki pages to make it easier for new contributors to find information and resources and to locate all our materials in easy to find locations<br />
<br />
===KDE Website Review===<br />
<br />
We reviewed the kde.org website and navigation structure and came up with ideas that will be presented at the web sprint in June 2011<br />
<br />
===Dot Team Meeting===<br />
<br />
We discussed improving interaction with our community on the Dot. Carl Symons and Ben Cooksley worked on improving infrastructure for monitoring and managing Dot article comments and anonymous comments were re-enabled for the first time in several years on 17 May (for an initial trial period of one month).<br />
<br />
===KDE Glossary===<br />
<br />
We began work on a glossary of KDE terms, to help people unfamiliar with KDE understand some of our jargon and to help promoters use our terms consistently.<br />
<br />
===More Details===<br />
<br />
The [http://dot.kde.org/2011/05/16/promo-sprint-2011 Dot article] relating to the sprint contains more details on the weekend's activities.<br />

<div>KDE Developer Sprints are focused gatherings of KDE developers to work on a specific part of KDE. Sprints are an opportunity to plan, design, and hack (think 20% socialization and 80% perspiration). They are supported by KDE e.V. financially and organizationally.<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of us arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
'''Those arriving on Friday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.'''<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Short summary of contents from Press Training for communities at LCS (Claudia)<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Write press release/dot story for conference program announcement (Claudia)<br />
** Come up with a PR timeline with concrete dates and ideas for press releases (Claudia)<br />
** find people who will blog (Claudia)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
** IRC meetup with William from GNOME to discuss PR ideas and plan (Claudia)<br />
* Identify top KDE strengths/features, that could be used in promotion (Lukas)<br />
* Get some stats, that could help to showing the scale of KDE (larger projects gets more attention in the press) (Lukas)<br />
* How can we promote more active and productive contributions? (Lukas)<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
** Write more text for redesigned website (looks empty, doesn't explain enough) (Claudia)<br />
** Come up with concrete ideas how to promote it (interviews, member meetups etc?) (Claudia)<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
** How do we keep it updated for every release: link with KDE.org website? (Damien)<br />
** Redesign the content: one different booklet depending on the targeted people? (Damien)<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />
* Commercial contents in KDE website: the idea is to make a proposal to KDE about why, how and when we should include contents related with companies and vendors that ship, collaborate in the development, support, etc KDE<br />
** Strategy disscussion<br />
** Action Plan<br />
** Roadmap<br />
* KDE www (also for giving feedback at the webworld sprint)<br />
**review the menu and its subitems.<br />
**there are texts who could be better. I am talking about the mainpage, btw :)<br />

<hr />
<div>KDE Developer Sprints are focused gatherings of KDE developers to work on a specific part of KDE. Sprints are an opportunity to plan, design, and hack (think 20% socialization and 80% perspiration). They are supported by KDE e.V. financially and organizationally.<br />
<br />
Want to organize a sprint or attending a sprint? Everyone should read [[Sprints/Howto|KDE developer sprint HOWTO]] for information about the KDE Developer Sprint process.<br />

The file is available in SVG format within a zip file which also contains the necessary font and layouts for US Letter and A4 page sizes. The idea is to modify the text using Inkscape for local events, export to PDF and take the PDF file to a local printer to make stickers for handout.<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of us arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
'''Those arriving on Friday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.'''<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Short summary of contents from Press Training for communities at LCS (Claudia)<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Write press release/dot story for conference program announcement (Claudia)<br />
** Come up with a PR timeline with concrete dates and ideas for press releases (Claudia)<br />
** find people who will blog (Claudia)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
** IRC meetup with William from GNOME to discuss PR ideas and plan (Claudia)<br />
* Identify top KDE strengths/features, that could be used in promotion (Lukas)<br />
* Get some stats, that could help to showing the scale of KDE (larger projects gets more attention in the press) (Lukas)<br />
* How can we promote more active and productive contributions? (Lukas)<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
** Write more text for redesigned website (looks empty, doesn't explain enough) (Claudia)<br />
** Come up with concrete ideas how to promote it (interviews, member meetups etc?) (Claudia)<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />
* Commercial contents in KDE website: the idea is to make a proposal to KDE about why, how and when we should include contents related with companies and vendors that ship, collaborate in the development, support, etc KDE<br />
** Strategy disscussion<br />
** Action Plan<br />
** Roadmap<br />
* KDE www (also for giving feedback at the webworld sprint)<br />
**review the menu and its subitems.<br />
**there are texts who could be better. I am talking about the mainpage, btw :)<br />

Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />

<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />

=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />
* Commercial contents in KDE website: the idea is to make a proposal to KDE about why, how and when we should include contents related with companies and vendors that ship, collaborate in the development, support, etc KDE<br />
** Strategy disscussion<br />
** Action Plan<br />
** Roadmap<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />

* University: Highfield Interchange<br />

* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of us arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
'''Those arriving on Friday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.'''<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />
* Commercial contents in KDE website: the idea is to make a proposal to KDE about why, how and when we should include contents related with companies and vendors that ship, collaborate in the development, support, etc KDE<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of us arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
'''Those arriving on Friday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.'''<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />
* Commercial contents in KDE website: the idea is to make a proposal to KDE about why, how and when we should include contents related with companies and vendors that ship, collaborate in the development, support, etc KDE<br />
** Strategy disscussion<br />
** Action Plan<br />
** Roadmap<br />

<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of us arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
'''Those arriving on Friday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.'''<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />
<br />

From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of us arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
Those arriving on Friday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of use arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
Those arriving on Saturday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
====Accommodation from the bus stops====<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation (Bannister Guest House) location relative to buses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Soton1.png|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Venue location on University Campus====<br />
<br />
We are hosted by ECS. The [http://www.soton.ac.uk/about/whereissoton/maps/Highfield-Boldrewood%20Campus%20&%20Key%20OCT2010%20WEB.pdf University of Southampton Campus Map] shows the ECS building (number 53) to the top left and also the uni-link interchange where you should get off the bus.<br />
<br />
=Venue=<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
=Accommodation=<br />
<br />
[http://www.banisterhouse.co.uk/index.html Bannister Guest House]. If you are in the 'confirmed' group above then your accommodation has been booked for you for the nights indicated.<br />
<br />
Banister Guest House<br />
11 Brighton Road<br />
on Banister Road<br />
Southampton<br />
SO15 2JJ<br />
<br />
Accommodation is in single ensuite rooms and breakfast is included.<br />
<br />
Free WiFi is provided.<br />
<br />
We need to make arrangements for people arriving after 2100, which may be for those of use arriving earlier to pick up your keys.<br />
<br />
Those arriving on Saturday should probably come straight to the university, then we can all head as a group to the accommodation.<br />
<br />
=Topics=<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing<br />

==Southampton Information==<br />
<br />
===Venue===<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Travel in UK:<br />
* [http://www.thetrainline.com/ The Trainline] can help you plan train journeys. The relevant stations are Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway (both are on the main train line to London and bus route to the university)<br />
* LHR and LGW are also accessible by coach (e.g [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ those run by National Express]).<br />
<br />
===Accommodation===<br />
<br />
Preferred option for group booking:<br />
<br />
* Bannister Guest House, near bus route, singles from GBP 33/night/room, twins from GBP 54/room/night (shared bathroom, some ensuites available)<br />
<br />
Subject to availability (which is good at the moment) we will book everyone into the above.<br />
<br />
Other accommodation:<br />
<br />
* Travelodge, the Avenue, on uni bus route. Prices ~ 60 GBP/night/room<br />
* Elizabeth House Hotel, the Avenue, on uni bus route. Singles from GBP 60/room/night, twins from GBP 70/room/nigh<br />
* Highfield House hotel, walking distance to uni. Prices GBP 59/room/night (single and twin)<br />
* Etap, near station, GBP 40/night singles (not sure if group booking possible)<br />
<br />
==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning&diff=11251Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning2011-03-25T15:19:29Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: /* Travel in Southampton */</p>

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation location relative to buses.<br />

<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support.

=Travel=<br />
<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />
<br />
Here is a map showing the accommodation location relative to buses.<br />

<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />

<br />
==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning&diff=11246Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning2011-03-25T14:59:31Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: /* Travel */</p>

From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />
<br />
==Travel in Southampton==<br />
<br />
The university operates a decent bus service, [http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf uni-link]. The bus you want depends on your entry point:<br />
<br />
* Southampton Central Station: Take the U1A to both the hotel and the university<br />
* Southampton Airport Parkway: Take the U1C to both the hotel and the university<br />
<br />
The stops you need are:<br />
* University: Highfield Interchange<br />
* Hotel: Bannister Road/Archers Road on the Avenue<br />
<br />
[http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/pdfs/networkmap.pdf Bus network map (PDF)] shows the routes. The best one is the U1. Buses (and bus stops?) are labelled U1C for buses on this route going in the direction of the city centre and U1A for buses going in the direction of the airport.<br />

==Southampton Information==<br />
<br />
===Venue===<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Travel in UK:<br />
* [http://www.thetrainline.com/ The Trainline] can help you plan train journeys. The relevant stations are Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway (both are on the main train line to London and bus route to the university)<br />
* LHR and LGW are also accessible by coach (e.g [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ those run by National Express]).<br />
<br />
===Accommodation===<br />
<br />
Preferred option for group booking:<br />
<br />
* Bannister Guest House, near bus route, singles from GBP 33/night/room, twins from GBP 54/room/night (shared bathroom, some ensuites available)<br />
<br />
Subject to availability (which is good at the moment) we will book everyone into the above.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning&diff=11245Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning2011-03-25T14:51:42Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: /* Southampton from Gatwick */</p>

<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ thetrainline.com] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available.

Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />

<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use [http://thetrainline.com thetrainline.com] - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ the Trainline] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />

<br />
==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
* 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
* Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf Tube map (PDF)] to make some sense of that. Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use thetrainline.com - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ the Trainline] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />

<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning&diff=11242Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning2011-03-25T14:49:04Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: /* Unconfirmed Attendees */</p>

From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
OR<br />
Take 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
<br />
Tube map to make some sense of that:<br />
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf<br />
Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both <br />
in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />
Train from London Waterloo to Southampton Airport Parkway (or Southampton <br />
Central, both are on the same bus route, but Airport Parkway probably makes <br />
more sense if you come to/from the university directly). The trains go about <br />
every 30 minutes, normally the destination is 'Weymouth' on the departure <br />
boards in the station, but they also list the stops.<br />
<br />
====Tickets====<br />
Heathrow express is £32 return, you can book online. You can also buy on the <br />
day from a machine at the airport station. The Underground part for that will <br />
cost you £4 each way.<br />
<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />
Tube tickets you just buy from machines or office at the stations. Tube and <br />
Heathrow Express will be signposted in the airport (or ask).<br />
<br />
For the train to Southampton, I normally use thetrainline.com - normally you can select to pick up the tickets from a machine in the station (it should be cheaper to buy in advance). When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost.<br />
<br />
From a quick check, offpeak is £37.20 return; peak £68.80<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Gatwick===<br />
<br />
This is easy. Just visit [http://www.thetrainline.com/ the Trainline] and get a ticket from Gatwick to Southampton Central.<br />
<br />
When you enter your journey times on thetrainline.com you want 'Offpeak return' if available. Outward ticket is valid all day after 10am on the day you specify and the return is valid on any train during the following month, after 10am. If you travel is before 10am either way you'll need an 'anytime return' which will be about double the cost. Off peak seems to be around £44.80 at present. Singles are also available and may be cheaper, but these are tied to specific trains, so if your flight gets delayed you are basically screwed.<br />
<br />
Typically, you will need to change trains once, occasionally two times, on the journey. Occasionally there are direct trains.<br />

==Southampton Information==<br />
<br />
===Venue===<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Travel in UK:<br />
* [http://www.thetrainline.com/ The Trainline] can help you plan train journeys. The relevant stations are Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway (both are on the main train line to London and bus route to the university)<br />
* LHR and LGW are also accessible by coach (e.g [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ those run by National Express]).<br />
<br />
===Accommodation===<br />
<br />
Preferred option for group booking:<br />
<br />
* Bannister Guest House, near bus route, singles from GBP 33/night/room, twins from GBP 54/room/night (shared bathroom, some ensuites available)<br />
<br />
Subject to availability (which is good at the moment) we will book everyone into the above.<br />
<br />
Other accommodation:<br />
<br />
* Travelodge, the Avenue, on uni bus route. Prices ~ 60 GBP/night/room<br />
* Elizabeth House Hotel, the Avenue, on uni bus route. Singles from GBP 60/room/night, twins from GBP 70/room/nigh<br />
* Highfield House hotel, walking distance to uni. Prices GBP 59/room/night (single and twin)<br />
* Etap, near station, GBP 40/night singles (not sure if group booking possible)<br />
<br />
==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning&diff=11241Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning2011-03-25T14:48:42Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: </p>

==Getting to UK==<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
==Travel in UK==<br />
<br />
There are a few options. Trains are normally your best bet.<br />
<br />
===Southampton from Heathrow Airport===<br />
<br />
Total journey time to Southampton station is about 2 hours, maybe a bit more if <br />
you have to wait for the train at Waterloo.<br />
<br />
You can also check [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ buses] to see if there is one at a good time for you (direct and a bit cheaper).<br />
<br />
====Get to London====<br />
From Heathrow you can take either:<br />
Heathrow Express to Paddington, then you need a zone 1 single on the <br />
underground to Waterloo (take the Bakerloo line)<br />
OR<br />
Take 'Underground'/'Tube' (metro) to Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line), <br />
then Bakerloo line to Waterloo - you need a zones 1-6 single<br />
<br />
Tube map to make some sense of that:<br />
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf<br />
Heathrow is in square 1E; Paddington 3C; Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo both <br />
in 5D<br />
<br />
'''The tube is massively cheaper and recommended'''.<br />
<br />
====Get from London to Southampton====<br />

<br />
Or if you go the whole way on the tube, it will cost £5 each way and take <br />
about 10 minutes longer. '''Take the tube'''.<br />
<br />

==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvishttps://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning&diff=11239Sprints/Promo/2011/Planning2011-03-25T14:12:43Z<p>Stuart Jarvis: /* Remote Attendees */</p>

==Southampton Information==<br />
<br />
===Venue===<br />
<br />
The University of Southampton department of [http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ Engineering and Computer Science] can offer us rooms, WiFi access and free lunches. They would also to hold a joint event including a presentation to students about KDE, probably on the Friday at some point.<br />
<br />
More info on Southampton as a city is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
===Travel===<br />
<br />
Airports:<br />
* [http://www.southamptonairport.com/ Southampton] (IATA:SOU) with links to Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and a few others<br />
* London Heathrow (LHR) links to Southampton via the London Underground and then a 1:20 train journey<br />
* London Gatwick (LGW) links to Southampton via trains (a few direct, most with one change)<br />
* [http://www.bournemouthairport.com/ Bournemouth] (BOH) airport has links to Spain, Portugal and Italy and is about 1 hour from Southampton by train.<br />
<br />
Port:<br />
* [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ Portsmouth ferry port] provides access to various ports in northern France and is then a short train journey from Southampton<br />
<br />
International Trains:<br />
* You could take the Eurostar through the channel tunnel to London and then the London Underground and train to Southampton. However, this is unlikely to be the cheapest option.<br />
<br />
Travel in UK:<br />
* [http://www.thetrainline.com/ The Trainline] can help you plan train journeys. The relevant stations are Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway (both are on the main train line to London and bus route to the university)<br />
* LHR and LGW are also accessible by coach (e.g [http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/ those run by National Express]).<br />
<br />
===Accommodation===<br />
<br />
Preferred option for group booking:<br />
<br />
* Bannister Guest House, near bus route, singles from GBP 33/night/room, twins from GBP 54/room/night (shared bathroom, some ensuites available)<br />
<br />
Subject to availability (which is good at the moment) we will book everyone into the above.<br />
<br />
Other accommodation:<br />
<br />
* Travelodge, the Avenue, on uni bus route. Prices ~ 60 GBP/night/room<br />
* Elizabeth House Hotel, the Avenue, on uni bus route. Singles from GBP 60/room/night, twins from GBP 70/room/nigh<br />
* Highfield House hotel, walking distance to uni. Prices GBP 59/room/night (single and twin)<br />
* Etap, near station, GBP 40/night singles (not sure if group booking possible)<br />
<br />
==Topics==<br />
<br />
Please feel free to add here. Sticking your name after the suggestion makes it easier in case we need to clarify what is meant :-)<br />
<br />
* Prepare for Desktop Summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as<br />
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)<br />
** Update the KDE Press Pack<br />
* Join the Game (Supporting Membership program) needs a big push<br />
* Making the most of the Promo Booklet - we have it, now how can we best use it?<br />
* Create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks<br />
** Create content explaining to other people in KDE how to access the skills and services of the Promo team<br />
** Ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't have to reinvent the wheel every time<br />
** A page for all things related to conferences that people might need, like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one spot<br />
** Organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign<br />
** General cleanup<br />
** Clear messages to KDE presenters/users about live CD/DVD options<br />
** Youtube ads, new stories, etc. linked and useful as a resource<br />
** Shop/Wiki: KDE gear for sale, SVG images for printing, booklet for printing<br />
** Potential improvements to live CD/DVDs, as suggested by Thomas Thym [1]<br />
** Survey - discussed on the promo list previously, also on Etherpad: survey users about perceptions, usage, survey developers about where to add promo value? (sprint a good time to get survey(s) ready)<br />
** Make it easy for would be grass roots promoters to get the resources they need ([[User:Stuart Jarvis|Stuart Jarvis]])<br />
* (pgquiles) Get better exposure and more involvement for Windows/Mac efforts. For both users and developers. Non-Linux platforms badly need more developers, and Windows and Mac could bring many new developers in.<br />
* (pgquiles) "Sell" (advertise, not $$$) kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and calligralibs (former kofficelibs) to third-parties as just one more module to Qt. Important: commercial support. See [http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=129543352515461&w=2 my mail] to the kde-promo list for more info.<br />
* Team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers<br />
(or whatever you prefer), hang out<br />
* Pushing KDE EDU (esp. at schools)<br />
* Discuss the functioning of the promo/marketing teams and how we can improve in the future (tasks, responsibilities, communication, decisionmaking)<br />
* KDE.News - editor meeting and discussion of staffing</div>Stuart Jarvis
