tentative title: People Bling
While much of the focus around the KDE project is around its technology (Bling!), and rightly so, let's not forget that behind KDE lies a community. A community that is diverse, one that includes developers, documenters, translators, bug triagers, user support, distributions. I'd like to highlight some of that "People Bling" behind the KDE project.


 * KDE-ev
 * what is it: http://ev.kde.org/whatiskdeev.php
 * who's eligible, how to join

The primary people centric group within the KDE project is the KDE e.V.. Formally, it is a registered non-profit organization that represents the KDE Project in legal and financial matters. In practical terms, it is a body of contributors that guide the direction of the project.

I personally had the pleasure of being invited to join a couple of years ago...


 * KDE Community Working Group


 * Distribution Special Interest Groups (SIGs): Fedora KDE-SIG example
