KDE Announces Partner Network 41
jrepin writes "In the wake of the announcement of the first ever KDE powered tablet, quite a few interesting things are happening in the background. One of them is the formation of a professional Partner Network for devices such as the Vivaldi tablet. The Make Play Live Partner Program is designed to build and support a collaborative business and economic network. Members work together to provide comprehensive professional service and product offerings around Plasma Active and devices such as Vivaldi. Professional support options make it easier to convince potential parties, such as users, clients, customers and partners, bringing KDE software to a larger group of users. Nine organizations have already joined."

The first sentence seems pretty clear to me - it's a free software community. The section on organization says, "The financial and legal matters of KDE are handled by KDE e.V., which is a German non-profit organization, and help organizing the conferences and meetings of the community members." which also seems pretty clear.
And there's more. There is a lot to the article but it doesn't seem too confusing to me.
I'm a big KDE fan. I think they provide the best graphical desktop for linux, one of the better music players on any platform and I am a big fan of QT - specifically via PyQT and now PySide. I'm all for anything that keeps it all going.

Wrong place. KDE is Desktop Environment - same software category as LXDE, Gnome, etc
For information goto http://www.kde.org [kde.org]
KDE is a free software community, KDE Plasma Desktop is the desktop environment. It even says this on http://www.kde.org
