On October 14th 2021 KDE turns 25. We should celebrate this.
What we care about:
* Celebrating for our community
* Showing the world a remarkable long-term success
* Reflecting on how we changed over the years
* Giving a hopeful outlook and build enthusiasm for the years to come
Ideas for what we could do:
* Events
** Make Akademy happen around the birthday and get many people together
** Organize parties around the world
* Do something similar to https://20years.kde.org/book/
* Update the timeline at https://timeline.kde.org/
* 25 for 25: encourage people to become supporting members (25 Euro/quarter) (would need work on making the supporting membership program more attractive)
* Find a way for users to show their appreciation for contributors
** Send in a thank you video from all over the world - the more interesting the location the better
* 25 days of KDE - tell a story around a contributor or KDE project every day for 25 days leading up to the birthday
* Stream some KDE work for 25 minutes at a time - watch someone submit a patch, do some bug triage, translate something, etc
* Do something on the main page of kde.org
* 25 unusual/cool/weird/exciting places where KDE is used
* 25 things you can do to help KDE
* Get an artist to do some cool artwork that people will want to put up in their living room
* Count-down to the time the original announcement was sent 25 years ago
* ...
Still to do:
* Look into some interesting stuff that other projects have done
* BoF at Akademy for more discussion about it
