please let us know right away. You can contact Allyson Alexandrou at <a href="http://allyson.alexandrou@kde.org/" class="">allyson.alexandrou@kde.org</a> or

Birthday" to KDE in your native (or preferred) language. We would like to
get as many different languages in the video as possible (so if you speak
something other than English please show us) to show just how diverse the KDE
community is. You are what has helped to make KDE thrive for the last 24 years,
please show us just how unique and special you are! </div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;" class="">If you choose to
