Jobs

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.

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.

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.

Write feature or news articles for KDE.News

(insert list of ideas here)

Write opinion articles for KDE.News

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.

Topic	Potential writers	Status notes
Why we need the rebranding	Aaron Seigo	Did video interview with Justin
How to succeed on Windows/Mac	KDE Windows team and an end user on Windows or Mac or Thomas Friedrichsmeier (RKWard dev)	There has been recent discussion on the kde-windows mailing lists, which is the better place for this at the moment
KDE Platform versus pure Qt	Marble devs (use both), SciDAVis devs (Qt)
KDE Platform and Qt should merge	Cornelius Schumacher (see this email)	More internal discussion before a public article on this
Why Plasma Activities are cool	Could be Aaron, Chani?	Someone who can give example use cases - e.g. someone who works from home/has one laptop for work and home

For some of these, we might welcome pairs of articles with conflicting points of view.
