What a local group can do to help KDE

Local groups are the pillars of the KDE community. Basically everything that happens off the internet has to do with local groups. Local Groups play an important role in promoting KDE of course. Event attendance (see also next chapter) is organised by regional teams. Also in getting a translation of KDE setup, you'll need your local community members to help with the work.

Local groups can translate documentation, collect and communicate information about events, visit events, keep in contact with local contributors, and not at least, host aKademy, the yearly KDE developers meeting.

Local groups can also promote KDE in local organisations, serve as a helping point for people that do not speak english very well. For KDE itself, local groups are a good starting point for people for getting involved with the community.

Here's a list of the tasks that local or regional groups can help KDE with:

• translate the KDE website and news (dot, digest, etc.)
• add regional news
• promote gatherings, participate in conferences
• coordinate with the l10n team, when the team and the project aren't one and the same
• recruit new developers, translators, testers, etc.
• advocate KDE and FOSS in general among the government and industries
• set up and host aKademy
