No offense taken!

I informed some koffice guy and they should be fixed now.

Thanks a lot.

[kde-promo] 3.5.4 release preparations: done?

I've not too closely followed the release preparations, but I'd like to check 
if everything is done for it:

* I learnt we have an announcement page that only needs a small edit, I can do 
  that. 
* Tom is going to send out the release notes to the press, right?
* Is there a dot story already available?

Thanks,

Ow, and what about the email to kde-announce, is that one prepared?

The only thing i want to be sure is that whoever removes the exit(1) from 
english .php remembers to remove it too from sl and sv php along with the 
embargo lines on all three.

[kde-promo] Fwd: Please add Myah OS to the list of KDE live CD's

Ahoy,

Yikes, I just found this festering in my inbox. Can whoever maintains that 
page take care of this?

Regards,
Tom

----------  Forwarded Message  ----------

Subject: Please add Myah OS to the list of KDE live CD's
Date: Saturday 22 July 2006 04:55
From: Jeremiah Cheatham <Myah <at> mymyah.com>
To: tom <at> acrewoods.net

Could you please add Myah OS to your list of live CD running KDE. I'm
still trying to be recognized in the linux community but it would help
out if I was listed on your site. Myah OS 2.1 comes with the full KDE
3.5.2 and Koffice 1.5 It's a live CD built off of the linux live
scripts and uses Slackware current packages. I am accually braking
away at the moment to my own packages that I am compiling and I'm
going to use my own packages similar to slackwares tgz but they will
be tbz2 But in the current release it's all slackware based and runs
great. It's very simple and supports 3D video cards and most
multimedia. I am also a big fan of KDE so it's all based around the
full KDE suit.

Yup. Local teams are more than welcome to hit their own local press with their 
translations too, and help getting it on the web sites listed here would be 
good:

> * Is there a dot story already available?

Not on this list. Could somebody fashion one together based upon the release 
notes?

Regards,
Tom

Re: [kde-promo] linux.conf.au 2007

Ok, what I'm going to do is, on the weekend, look at the relevant 
documentation (kde.org/kdeslides and the attachments sent to me) and send the 
draft proposals here.
