== Goals ==
- Encouraging attendees to contribute to KDE projects.
- ~~Present KDE projects at FOSDEM to highlight their significance and advancements within the FOSS community.~~ //Not a goal. This is a mean to a goal. What you want people to do with this information is the goal//
- ~~To advocate for FOSS by engaging attendees, showcasing KDE technologies,~~ //Not a goal. A mean.// ~~and recruiting new contributors to the KDE community.~~ //Duplicate of the first one above.//
- Raise at least €2000 for KDE via donations (mean: via merch and just asking)
- Make the KDE brand more popular and recognisable (mean: by getting attendees to stick KDE stickers to their laptops)
- Get at least 100 more sign ups as supporting members (mean: asking people who stop at the booth and say they want to contribute)
- Get more attendees to download and start using KDE software (mean: with demos of apps attendees can play with - e.g. Krita demo)
- Get attendees to install Plasma 6 Beta 2 so there are more testers (mean: by showcasing plasma 6 Beta and helping users to install it then and there)
- Tempt attendees to install when it comes out at the end of February (mean: by showcasing Plasma 6 Beta 2 and having attendees subscribe to our social media so they can know when it becomes available)
**Gamified mean**
- Subscribe at least 100 more people to our Mastodon account
