Topic:

Kubuntu and some of its new tools including the new KDE:

Kubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu Linux distribution using
the KDE environment instead of GNOME. It is part of the Ubuntu project and
uses the same underlying system. Kubuntu and Ubuntu can work alongside
each other by installing the ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop packages.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubuntu)

KDE (K Desktop Environment) is a free software project which aims to be a
powerful system for an easy-to-use desktop environment. The goal of the
project is to provide basic desktop functions and applications for daily
needs as well as tools and documentation for developers to write
stand-alone applications for the system. In this regard the KDE project
serves as an umbrella project for many standalone applications and smaller
projects that are based on KDE technology. These include KOffice,
KDevelop, Amarok, K3b and many others. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE)

Evan Leibovitch <evan-ieNeDk6JonTYtjvyW6yDsg at public.gmane.org> will review the later Kubuntu releases
and discuss some of the new tools.

Q&A:

There should be lots of time for questions and answers likely in the
recent UU style format, hosted by Colin McGregor <colinmc151-bJEeYj9oJeDQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org>


Après-meet:

After the meeting some will adjourn to a local coffee shop for continued
discussion and general world problem solving.
