Planning For 10 Years of Free Desktop
=====================================

   10 years ago, on October 14th 1996, Matthias Ettrich announced a
project [http://www.kde.org/announcements/announcement.php] to create a
complete and consistent GUI for the prospering Linux operating system.
The project grew and matured and now it is 2006 and KDE is one of the
largest Free Software projects. To celebrate this anniversary the KDE
project encourages the community to organise events all over the world
[http://wiki.kde.org/10+years+linux+desktop], to meet and party and
celebrate Free Software. The main event will take place in Stuttgart,
Germany on October 13th (we'll party into October 14th) when the KDE
e.V. invites the community, business partners and friends of KDE to
celebrate this outstanding achievement. Other events are scheduled in
the Netherlands (Nijmegen) and Portugal.  For further information and
questions you can visit #kde-anniversary on irc.kde.org or subscribe to
kde-promo [https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-promo].
