Scarlett is continuing her work on building Snap packages for KDE apps.
See https://www.scarlettgatelymoore.dev/kde-gear-snaps-round-3/ and other
blog posts.

Her laptop is a decade old and runs out of disk space often which affects
the speed she can work on this.  It also uses more energy than a modern
laptop.  It would help her grealy to have a new laptop, she is looking at
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-stealth-17-3-144hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-1tb-ssd-16gb-memory-black/6496178.p?skuId=6496178&intl=nosplash
which is $1500.  Can we use Kubuntu funds to buy a laptop for her?  It
would also need associated car travel costs to pick it up.  She has also
been invited to the Ubuntu summit next month in Prague which has flights
and hotel paid for by Canonical but again needs associated car travel costs
to get to the airport, can we use Kubuntu funds for this?
