[digiKam-users] LinkedIn user group...

[Pat David]

I mean, LinkedIn is a reasonably large social network for work-oriented
stuff, so it certainly can't hurt to have a presence there. (I hate
Facebook, but there's no denying there's a large potential for outreach
there).  Besides, many folks responding in this thread are already pretty
active on pixls.us. :)  If you're not, come join us!
