Who wants to spread some KDE?

Hi, I'm new on all you lists (well, except quanta and
kde-quality) 
OK, so I noticed that Spreadkde.org died a quiet death today
while I was on 
IRC talking about spreading KDE. I personally would love to
see the site back 
up, which brings us directly to why kde-artists, quanta and
kde-quality are 
also recieving this message. 
We undoubtedly have some very talented people who would be
willing to help, if 
only they do. Well, as far as my feeble mind can tell, now
they do. So I 
think some co-operation amongst the lists, *gasp*, is in
order. First to set 
up the spreadkde site, and then to do the actual spreading
of the 
propaganda  
I'd encourage everyone interested to join the kde-promo
list, but if you can't 
be bother I will be monitoring the "Who wants to spread
KDE?" threads of all 
the lists mailed. My utimate goal, other than subjected
people to reading 
lengthy e-mails is to promote the sh*t out of KDE until 4.0
goes live. 
Reminiscent of the getfirefox (or whatever they called it)
campaign. 

So yeah, spamming news sites, digg bombs, promo vids, pimped
out web site, 
promo articles all that good stuff. I realise people have
the "real" world to 
deal with so don't worry about sacrificing the first-borns.
That won't be 
necessary just yet. I think the first thing to do is to get
the site back up. 
and to do that we'll need:
1. Graphics artists
2. Web designers
3. Maintainers dood(s)
4. Content

I've already got ideas for #4 which'll be on kde-promo soon
enough. Sooo 
anyone interested? Last time we tried this on kde-quality
for the konq bug 
triage it worked pretty well.

Hi Orvlle,

I think the problem is DNS more than anything else, with
spreadkde -- at 
least, that was the state as of sunday evening.

That's odd. I was speaking with people subscribed to
kde-promo  and I at least 
got the impression that it was dead. 
Does anyone know for sure the status of the site?

The domain is dead, the site is not. The domain is not in
the hands of KDE, 
and the individual owning it has not given it back yet --
after several 
emails asking for it.

There is a team working on the renewal of the website
itself, once 
spread.kde.org (not the extra dot) is up, the work on that
continues.
