So please see the revised Kubuntu website story here:

https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-artful-aardvark-17-10-initial-rc-images-now-available/

So please look out for a new website article and iso links it that
happens as expected.

There will also be Ubuntu-on-air Google hangout and Youtube stream on
iso testing on Monday 16th at 15:00 UTC

See: https://community.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-17-10-community-iso-testing/458

That will be a great opportunity to help with community testing

Thanks

Rik
