[kde-russian] KDE and the russian government?

[smi]

Hi,

I also hope that linux distribution for russian schools will be based on
ALT Linux. Thank you for the proposal of help, we'll get in touch if we
get some problems.
Andrey Cherepanov is really a good cjntact person: he is leader of KDE
russian localisation and he is ALT Linux employer.

Looking forward,
Alexey Smirnov
ALT Linux, CEO
