Todo

Update wiki pages such as Promo/Events/Upcoming#North_America with events such as LinuxCon, Ohio LinuxFest, Camp KDE, etc.
Creation of a non-profit to fund sprints, staff conferences, general organization, and to help with legal matters for developers.
Regional volunteer leaders have been discussed, and it's something that might be pursued.

History

Discussion concerning a non-profit group continues on the mailing list as of May 2012.
A git repository for the Promo team(https://projects.kde.org/projects/others/kde-promo/) was created in March 2012, giving us a nice way distribute digital resources for someone looking to help.
The chat channel #kde-usa on Freenode was created in March, 2012.
In September 2011, the mailing list(https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-usa/) was created.

Other Ideas

Active engagement outside of conferences should be encouraged. Something like a "KDE Day" can be organized at hackerspaces where KDE is introduced to help others become familiar with its available workspaces.
