KDE Turkey Extends Vision
=========================

   Free software developers in Turkey aim more success in the
forthcoming months by enlarging its member base. KDE Turkey
[http://www.kde.org.tr/] (in Turkish) was founded 6 months ago with the
aim to raise KDE usage, consciousness and also to be a central point for
KDE endeavour in Turkey.

     Today KDE Turkey is responsible for Turkish localization of KDE.
Besides localization efforts, KDE group members also create awareness
with talks, IRC meetings, mailing lists, merchandise
[http://www.linuxmarket.org/esantyon.shtml] (in Turkish) and with the
attendance to various local organizations.

     Founded with the support of Turkish Linux Users Association
[http://www.lkd.org.tr/about.us.php], KDE Turkey now cooperates with
national Linux distribution Pardus [http://www.uludag.org.tr/eng/] in
the localization field. Statistically, in 6 months the visitor counts
for group's web sites have quadrupled. KDE Turkey's population is
growing rapidly every day with its 26 active members and contributors.

     KDE Turkey will attend the 4. Linux and Free Software Festival in
Turkey [http://senlik.linux.org.tr] (in Turkish), with Bar&#305;&#351;
Metin's KDE Programming presentation.
