(Note, this was originally filed as mindshare#352 and was moved here on @mattdm's request)

This is split from mindshare#344 to request the Fedora Project become a Patron of KDE.

Patrons of KDE get the following benefits:

  • Guaranteed seat on the KDE, e.V. advisory board
  • Networking event with KDE, e.V. board at Akademy
  • "Patron of KDE" logo/artwork for use on sites and brochures (fedoraloveskde, kde.fp.o, kinoite.fp.o, etc.)
  • Primacy on list of KDE distributions on https://kde.org/distributions/

For Fedora, the yearly membership fee is €5000.

The main values for me of this is giving us a stronger voice on the direction of KDE as a whole and improving the promotion of Fedora from KDE venues upstream to direct more toward us. I believe we'd see a significant boost in traffic and interest from this, given the current trend and positive relationship we already have, and this would reinforce it strongly.

Closing the ticket as deferred. We'd like to see this, but a framework needs to be developed first, so until that happens, there's no path forward: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/should-fedora-sponsor-the-kde-project-as-an-official-patron/40413/20?u=bcotton
