I guess a significant share of our partners are heavy KDE users and probably 
also (at least moral) supporters, so maybe it would be really a good chance 
to offer them ways how to contribute with non-programming tasks:
-doing usability test
-invite them to help with organization of events
-quick start in translating, documentation, icons
-probably a lot more

At akademy you really get such a strong feeling of community that I think 
everybody attending will feel part of the community afterwards.
