Nothing quite so important myself- I couldn't code "Hello World"!, but I have 
filed a feedback on the latest cvs version of camstream - which is very nice, 
extra features etc. One small bug which I noticed and reported so far.
No converts this week, although I did have two people using a Kubuntu disk to 
recover data from a laptop belonging to a foreign student at Truro College a 
couple of weeks back which was nice.
I also loaned a Kubuntu installed machine to a family whose Windows machine 
had died (hardware issue rather than OS problem oddly!) - they are still 
using it and seem quite at home with it after a very quick tour of the 
basics - hopefully they will remain converts after they purchase a new 
system.
Other than that, just the usual stuff - testing the Kubuntu 7.04 beta etc.
