Intel and Novell Become Patrons of KDE
======================================

   Intel [http://www.intel.com/] and Novell [http://www.novell.com/]
have each become corporate Patrons of KDE
[http://ev.kde.org/supporting-members.php]. Their exceptional financial
commitment to the KDE e.V. helps the project with community events,
infrastructure and developer meetings. Read on for more information.

     For decades, Intel Corporation has developed technology enabling
the computer and Internet revolution that has changed the world. Intel
has been a strong supporter of KDE and other free software projects in
the past, and it continues this effort by becoming a Patron of KDE.

     Novell is a global leader in open, enterprise class software and
services; it is also the company behind the openSUSE
[http://www.opensuse.org/] and SUSE Linux Enterprise
[http://novell.com/linux] products. Novell has persistently been among
the strongest supporters of KDE by employing many KDE developers and
continuously sponsoring events. It now reaffirms its commitment
financially by being the first corporative Linux distributor to become a
Patron of KDE.
