So the fundraiser started: https://www.kde.org/fundraisers/kdesprints2015/

Please blog about it and use other social media and add yourself to:
https://notes.kde.org/p/fundraiser-2015-coordination
This link is for coordination so not everybody blogs and tweets at the same 
day.

Maybe you could even add something like the top banner of planet.kde.org or 
the soon to be finished banner from:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=127592&p=339532#p339532
at the top of kdenlive.org?

Thanks
Mario
