Proposal: Kubuntu Branded Developer Laptop

[Mike Mikowski]

Hi Jussi:

I just put the keyboard controls in the image. By default it now has a very
for white back light. For those who like bling, there are all sorts of
controls to turn the LEDs multiple colors. Conversely, they can be done or
disabled completely with just a key stroke.

It looks like the logo only is the best option using a simple silver cutout
design. I can make another mockups. Lots of letters isn't a good idea. The
logo would be raised metal and very sturdy.

Thanks for the feedback Jussi. We are well capitalized and want to get this
out in volume before the holidays if not sooner!

Cheers, Mike
