Help out Kubuntu

It's never too late to help out Kubuntu in the cycle Here's our work items for this cycle.

Some of the easier ones:

• track down and update install docs everywhere for having a USB/DVD image but no CD image
• review kubuntu active for app selection and good experience
• Kubuntu Quantal Docs - carry on where top contributor LittleGirl had to leave off
• Update ubiquity to match GTK frontend (the GTK frontend is getting a load of features which will mean the alternate images can go away like LVM partitioning)
• ensure OwnCloud juju charm works (we like owncloud here at Kubuntu)
• deal with Kubuntu unique strings now we aren't using Launchpad (should be translated separately either in KDE or in Launchpad).

and many more

Rekonq 1! Akademy Videos

[re-posting to a temporary blog site as Planet Ubuntu has stopped publishing my blogs.kde.org one, sigh]

Rekonq, the web browser shipped with Kubuntu, has reached 1.0 congratulations Adjam and friends. It's pleasingly stable and thanks to WebKit it supports almost all the modern fancy stuff in websites. Just a pain websites like BBC iPlayer deliberately fail on it, bad BBC. Rekonq 1.0 is available in Quantal for latest Ubuntu users and precise-backports for those wanting to try it out.

Akademy talk videos are up. Even if you're not into domain specific debugging tools for Qt it's well worth looking at the Keynotes of Mathias Klang, Freedom of Expression and Will Schroeder: It has a heart, a brain and it's dangerous. Be selfish and share!

Planet Qt

Danimo started a Planet Qt as a sign of the project's increased open development model. It uses the same Rawdog setup I made for Planet KDE.
