=== Sebastian Kügler: the next kubuntu graphics stack === Sebastian Kügler discusses the advancements that are being made on the Kubuntu graphics stack, with particular emphasis on their goal of making Plasma Workspaces 2 compatible later on. He states that for the foreseeable future Kubuntu will make use of Xorg, with late 2014 bringing support for Plasma Workspaces 2. http://vizzzion.org/blog/2013/07/the-next-kubuntu-graphics-stack/ === Nicholas Skaggs: Ubuntu Edge: Convergence in the palm of your hand === Nicholas Skaggs writes about his journey to have convergence between his smartphone and desktop, and how the Ubuntu Edge is the realization of that goal. With his smartphone powerful enough to handle most computing tasks and with cloud servers capable of performing longer running tasks, there seems to be no need to have two separate devices.
