The main page of kde.org could have some banner or similar leading people to the landing page for the 25th birthday.
Also, soundbites and spiffy oneliners we can send to journalists and bloggers

@allyson, I brainstormed some headlines + intros, and have a variety that you can play with:
1st lot of headlines:
KDE at 25: A quarter of a century of desktops, apps and cute green dragons
KDE at 25: A quarter of a century of feature-rich desktops, world-class apps and cute green dragons
KDE's 25 Years of Desktops, Apps, and Cute Green Dragons
KDE's 25 Years of Awesome
KDE: 25 Years of much more than Free Desktops
KDE at 25: Much more than Free Desktops
KDE: 25 Years of Bringing Linux to the People
KDE: 25 Years of Bringing Free Software to the People
Which could go with this intro paragraph:
Within the FLOSS community, KDE is probably best known for its powerful and versatile Plasma desktop environment. Outside the Open Source bubble, KDE is known for its world-class apps, from creativity-boosting programs for artists and filmmakers, to educational software used by millions for children, as well as a never-ending stream of frameworks, IDEs and utilities that provide devs worldwide with the means to create applications for any platform.
Or something to that effect.
2nd. lot:
KDE at 25: Rock Solid AND Bleeding Edge
KDE at 25: Bleeding Edge and Rock Solid Free Software for the People
Which could got with a paragraph as follows:
At 25, KDE's software projects have grown to maturity, offering stability, privacy and freedom to people worldwide. At the same time, KDE's community innovates continuously and at a furious pace, pushing new usability ideas onto its desktop, Plasma; creating powerful apps for a wide range of uses (and users); and even daring take on the Android/iOS mobile duopoly.
I guess the link Jessica requires should point to https://25years.kde.org .
I hope that helps.

I prefer:
