ago with the aim to raise KDE usage, consciousness and also to be a central
point for KDE endeavour in Turkey.

Today KDE Turkey is responsible for Turkish localization of KDE. Besides localization efforts, KDE group members also create awareness with talks, IRC meetings, mailing lists, merchandise (in Turkish) and with the attendance to various local organizations.
