Re corporate donors: Please coordinate anything in this direction with the board. This needs careful coordination for the ones that we are also in contact with for KDE in general.

I think it'd make sense to make the 25th anniversary a bigger theme in this report.

\o/

It seems we didn't get to this so let's close it.

Nate rocked it here: https://pointieststick.com/2021/10/13/25-ways-you-can-contribute-to-kde/

We settled on Sunday. Nate will do the actual post. I'll draft something for him to post.

How are we doing with this for Thursday?

@ngraham @apol: Are you up for it? If yes do you have a preference for when to do it? on the 14th? 15th? 16th? 17th?

Update: Matthias' fireside chat was moved to the 25th at 17 UTC.

We discussed in today's call that we will encourage people to send things on social media and then we will grab a curated sample for the website.

We are going with the excellent artwork by David.

Checking in: Do you think we will have something nice by the time of the anniversary? It would be good to know so we can include it in the landing page and social media planning as appropriate.

Assigning to @ognarb to get something on kde.org

I think we want to be a bit selective about what we add to the timeline. So I think we don't want to put in every release etc. And especially also put in important milestones that are not releases.

From today's call:

• We are currently planning 4 fireside chats that should happen in BBB
  • Oct. 14th 17UTC
  • Oct. 15th 18UTC
  • Oct. 23rd 15UTC
  • Oct. 24th 16 UTC
• streaming yes or no: still figuring this out. We will decide based on registration numbers.
• recording: yes
• registration: yes we will use indico

Update from the fundraising sprint: Carl and Lays are putting work into it now.

I logged in and tried to do what I do on the live site and I get an error.
Steps:

• go to https://relate-dev.kde.org/civicrm/sepa
• click "update recurring" button
• see update process happening as expected
• get back to overview page as expected
• get the following error:

@aniqakhokhar and I talked about it and it seems easier to get people to write a short text so let's allow that too.

@rempt @hein @apol You seem like people who can add to the list :D

Maybe the Internet Archive has something?

Is the above something sysadmin can help with?

The website code is here in case you want to provide merge requests: https://invent.kde.org/websites/ev-kde-org (but here is totally fine as well)

Joseph, Eliza: could you add here what you'd like to have added?

Sounds fun. Wanna create a ticket for it on the 25th anniversary board?

I've put the tasks on the new board here: https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/kde_s_25th_anniversary_celebration/ now. Please pick tasks you think you can handle or help with. October is closer than we think ;-)

Still need to go into the table from the BoF notes:

• Paul to reach out to David Ravoy
• Myriam to reach out to Franc Karlitschek, Eva Brucherseifer
• Nurtizi or someone else from GitLab
• Albert to reach out to: coolo, dmueler, waba, torbenweiss
• Jonathan to reach out to Mustapha (FOSS Nigeria)
• Carl to reach out to Tyson Tan, Ken Vermette
• Aniqa reach out to Aiswarya, Bhavisha, Bhushan, Manav, Burgess, Mina

Do we have a text or link explaining what we want so that everyone can reuse that when reaching out?
