What about setting up a booth during Akademy in the downtown of Vienna and showing 3 or (at your option) more of our projects standing under a free license to the general public?
For this we would definitely need:
- a few KDE members, at the best with German speaking skills
- a booth
- devices to demonstrate the software on
- permission from the city administration / the owner of the public space
- a good place where many people pass
- good weather
- a good day where many people are at public spaces (in Europe, saturday is quite a good day because most people do not work and the shops are opened)
We could expand the promotion with the following things:
- uniform KDE t-shirts for the people presenting the community and the software
- if there are not enough German-speaking community members we could ask members of the local (GNU/) Linux user group, people from the local hacking space, people from related communities or students either they want to help us
- flyers and / or cards to give away
- balloons for the kids and / or the grown-up kids (people walking around with a KDE balloon would further promote KDE without any extra efforts because the ballon is seen by everybody)
- maybe some other promotion materials like paper bags, pencils, sweets or other things with the KDE logo, the vision and / or the url to the website on it
- (bootable) cds with KDE Neon or other software to install from
- somebody who finances the whole activity
