The easiest way to make a few euros is selling the Live KDE-CD at shows by
volunteers. KDE-France made some money with it and I guess that KDE-Ev made
some money at Cebit (using your packages). Selling CDs all around the world
is a cumbersome task : you will need a EU VAT number, a way to clear the
payments, somebody to mail the CD's, a Visa Card account. A lot of work for a
very little amount of money.
If we want to raise more money for KDE Ev, I think a much more interesting
parth would be to ask money from the European Commission as we have a big
majority of our programmers and users are from 'Old' Europe and that the R&D
programs are looking for truly European Programs to finance. But it is a bit
offtopic to talk about that here, it is more a kde-promo topic.
Cheers,
Charles
