Kubuntu

Welcome

Here at Kubuntu, we pride ourselves on being a "Friendly Computing" community!

Our aim is to provide a robust, high quality, desktop computing experience based upon the KDE Software Compilation installed as a distribution flavour of the "Ubuntu" GNU/Linux operating system.

This Wiki is the centralised collection of Kubuntu resources. In a nutshell, "you've come to the right place. We have organised this Wiki based upon categories/areas that you might want to consider getting involved in.

Community

Just being here in the first place is a contribution. Perhaps this will come as something of a surprise, but just being a Kubuntu user represents a significant contribution to our community. After all, what point is there in creating a fantastic computer operating system, if there are no fantastic users actually using it?

Interested in becoming a Kubuntu member? Then the following resources should help you with this:

• Kubuntu/Links
• Kubuntu/Meeting
• Kubuntu/Membership
• Kubuntu/KC-elections
• Kubuntu/Policies
• Kubuntu/AnnualMeeting

Documentation

Testing

Do you like installing and experimenting with the latest and greatest software? Want to see what's coming up in future releases, and be ahead of the curve? Then jump right in and start testing.

At Kubuntu, we maintain a CI (Continuous Integration) software build system, which is responsible for much of the heavy lifting when it comes to packaging and testing.

• Kubuntu/CI/Metadata

propose to deprecate

These links appear to be unmaintained and need updating or deprecating.

• Kubuntu/GettingInvolved/Development (should move to website, suggest that one hops on IRC and has a talk with the lovely people there)

• Kubuntu/ProjectNeon (this is very excessive information and the stuff about neon in the techbase is more suitable really)
