Kubuntu Tutorials Day is back, and this time it’s with special guest star speakers.
Incase you missed it in previous years (check out the logs, there’s some interesting sessions in there), Kubuntu Tutorials Day is a few hours of interactive IRC sessions on topics around Kubuntu and KDE development. If you’ve always wanted to get started in helping out Kubuntu or programming in Qt this is the perfect opportunity.
