Was just approved by the LISA organizers. We're not on the 
sponsor/exhibitor list yet because some things don't happen by magic.

I have been exploring the possibility of having KDE Cascadia II in 
conjunction with linuxfestnorthwest.org (April 25 & 26, 2015 in 
Bellingham). I won't be at the meetup, but I would be interested in 
knowing if the people at the meetup will support KDE Cascadia and 
attend. Last time there was only one solid supporter...elcaset. We can 
do better than that.
