My apologies. Although you answered yourself in the other email, I can fill in 
a bit more: KDE Network is a project to increase the number and the level of 
organisation of grassroots communities in countries where KDE does not have a 
very strong presence.

In places like Germany, Spain, and other European countries, there are stable 
organisations of community members, some even legally constituted. They 
organise events, work with companies and local authorities, etc. to help 
individuals, enterprises, non-profits and public institutions adopt KDE 
technologies.

In other countries, community members are not organised, and, therefore, the 
amount of things they can do is limited. KDE Network intends to help members 
in the same geographical regions get in touch with each other and work 
together.

Also the individual networks can work with networks in other countries so they 
can exchange advice and resources.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Paul
