Scott Petrovic and the KDE sysadmin team have launched ask.krita.org[3]—the "Krita Question and Answers Site". The new ask.krita.org "is a place where it's simple to find out if your question has been asked before, simple to ask a question, and simple to answer a question. It's a central place where, we hope, Krita users will get together and help each other. Like a stackoverflow site, or like ask.libreoffice.org[4].
Kodi recently released a new limited-edition "Kodi Edition" Raspberry Pi case[5]. This version 2 of the case Kodi released two years ago is newly designed, aluminum, but it's "now gone to the dark side with a metallic, jet black coating for that cool Vader look". In addition, "the second-generation case features better access to the SD card, a better built-in heatsink, precision manufacturing, and subtle details that make a great case amazing." A percentage of every sale of this case goes to the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center[6]. You can order one from FLIRC[7] for $19.95.
