Goal

The aim of this task it is to get more comprehensive and better support for KDE software on more distros

HowTo

• Get in touch with distro managers and promo teams (if they have such a thing) for some 1-on-1 marketing
• Coordinate cross-promotional activities, such as promoting each other's releases and activities
• Create a "for/distributors" page, highlighting the benefits of our software for distribution
• Add distro information to our communication material, such as quarterly newsletters, blogs etc.
• Invite contacts from distributions to KDE events, sprints, etc.
• Invite ourselves to distro events
• ...

TODOs

• Brainstorm initial list of distros
  • Debian (GNOME is the default option in the installer, but KDE is there too)
  • Arch (no default DE)
  • Ubuntu (Heavily customized GNOME is the default; KDE version is Kubuntu and it's a separate download)
  • AlmaLinux (a RHEL alternative; could help drive attention to us)
  • SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop
  • MX Linux (KDE version is an option for download, but their "flagship edition" is XFCE)
  • Zorin OS (no KDE option)
• Find out contacts for each
• Brainstorm advantages of KDE for distributors
• Collect feedback about why distributors aren't already shipping KDE stuff by default
