We can sit in our own nerdy world in open source communities too much so at Kubuntu we have been setting up social media forums and we have just added a LinkedIn page for Kubuntu which should get the usual news stories of new releases and updates. There is also a Kubuntu Users group on LinkedIn if you want to share experiences with people who like to take more of a business approach to their computers than users of other social media websites.
14.10 Beta 1 is out, you can give us feedback on Google +
or Facebook
