Backstory: MakeItLinux is a very new project which defines themselves as "A collective of creators dedicated to driving mainstream awareness and adoption of desktop Linux as a fast, easy, beautiful alternative to Mac OS and Windows". They host the "Sunlight Manifesto" here, which essentially describes an organization which would aim at making Linux more popular and changing the general opinion of what Linux is.
There are some good parts, some more debatable parts, but I think we can all agree that a larger Linux desktop market share would be beneficial to the KDE community market share as well. It might make sense to organize with promotion groups of other DEs and/or open source projects in general to investigate what could be done for reaching that goal and working on it. This is, generally speaking.
Now, we could contact MakeItLinux to try to form such an organization. Since the project seem to have not begun yet, and since we are KDE, we could ask them to change some points or aims, e.g.: not focusing just on creators but contacting organizations promotion groups as well, such as the GNOME Engagement gorup. Of course, this raises question, more specifically:
- What do we want to achieve
- How the collaboration help us achieve it
- Steps we can take to make the collaboration happen
