[KDE/Nate Graham] On hiring, and fundraising to make it more biggerer
This year at Akademy, I took the plunge and decided to run for a seat on the KDE e.V.’s board of directors.
What is the KDE e.V.? It’s the nonprofit organization that represents the KDE community in legal and financial matters. It has several paid employees who work on KDE stuff, most notably promotion & marketing, project management, and event planning. You can see more at https://ev.kde.org/corporate/staffcontractors.
By the way, in case you were wondering (as I did at one point), “e.V.” is short for “eingetragener Verein” which is German for “registered association”–basically a type of nonprofit entity.
