Peter Zhou (peterzl): KDE China 4th Meeting

We agreed to increase our efforts on promoting KDE in China as we always do agree that KDE rocks. And we also do aware of the project’s lack of exposure in Chinese market. We need change. :)

We finally made several decisions on 15th Nov.

1. www.kdecn.org will be used not only for KDE China’s index page, but we will startup a brunch of new modules, like the Chinese wiki, forum, planet, and probably the Chinese version of the dot. ( I’ve explained why we need a server within mainland China instead of using the European servers. The current one is in Beijing, so it might be a bit slow for those visitors outside China. )

2. We are setting up a promotion team lead by Freeflying ( Hou Zhengpeng ), responsible for arranging meetings, doing promotion events in colleges, and managing all promotion related stuffs. nihui is responsible for the KDE China news writing and reviewing.

3. Development team will be set up to group the potential developers to involve in KDE development. The team is currently lead by me, peterzl ( ZHOU Lei ).

4. l10n/i18n team will be lead by Lie_Ex. Responsible for translation, including the KDE programs, some news and webpages.

5. The three team leaders will propose their working plans, and the KDE China community council will be formed some time in the future.

It is a great move that we actually made things happened here, and I guess a bright future is ahead. I really like to give thanks to those who are contributing. Like Qi Liang, yuanjiayj, Funda Wang, and many more people that behand the scene.
