One of the most frequently asked questions on the KDE developer lists is, "How can I start contributing to KDE?" -- NewsForge.com may just have the answer. In an article entitled Joining the Round Table: How to get started developing for the Linux desktop, Tina Gasperson gives some helpful tips and links on how to get your feet wet with KDE or other Open Source coding.

> Evan where do you live in the south?
As far south as you can get - South Florida (West Palm Beach, technically). If anybody else is in the area, I'd have no problem joining/starting a local KDE users group - in fact, is there a registry for such groups anywhere in the *.kde.org hierarchy? If not, I'm offering to create one, as long as I can get someone from Europe to volunteer to help with that region. I can whip out a database driven site for it next week, I would imagine. Any interest?

To make that clear, I could use advice from Africans, South Americans and Asia other than the Pacific rim. I have a good friend that I can ask about Austrailia. If you've got a KDE group, want to offer input or know of something that already exists, email me at [email protected].
Language translation and sensible regional divisions are what I'm looking for - I can handle the coding with no problem, and while I'm no artist, I can fake it.
And just in case it's not obvious, I've already started the project. I'm just gonna be upset if I do this, and I can't find any users local to me. :)

Jesus in a rowboat! Has everyone disabled the KDE startup tips????
If you didn´t you would know that after informal research, KDE developers prefer tea!
Personaly, I prefer mate (with no sugar, I´m a traditionalist), and a few other herbal infusions, but even plain tea beats coffee ;-)
