### Things done

* We held a two-day Sprint on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of September 
and covered the following topics 
  * Promoting KDE software to specific demographics (to activists, students, 
creators, gamers, etc.)
  * Creating good-looking slides and other "stationary" for use by community 
members
  * Planning and executing a coordinated Plasma 6 promotional campaign
  * Attending events: which and how
  * Breaking the bubble: strategies to do that
* Related, we attended the "EmpoderaLIVE" event in Málaga with the aim of 
reaching an audience outside our bubble and find like-minded organisations we 
can carry out joint projects with
* We prepared and deployed our first [Plasma 6 campaign website for attracting 
supporting members](https://kde.org/fundraisers/plasma6member/)
* Launched "KDE for Gamers'" page and added Ada & Zangemann on KDE for the 
Kids' page
* Ordered stickers for upcoming events.
* Promoted blogs about Plasma 6 

### Things to do

* We need to create all the tasks for the decisions made at the Sprint and the 
start acting on them
* We need to add elements (progress bars, hall of fame for non-anonymous 
donors) to the "Become a Supporter" fundraiser page
* We need to follow up with leads from EmpoderaLIVE event and post a post-
mortem

### Ongoing projects (housework)

* Finding and solving mistakes in websites and wikis
