Snap! Community weekly update: W23

[David Callé]

Here is an update on the highlights in the snap community this week:

## Snap examples

- The first snappy Playpen event was a blast! With more than 40 people
participating and a dozen of new branches, we felt it was a great
learning process for all involved and we gathered many new examples:
    - Leafpad
    - SMPlayer
    - Galculator
    - Plank
    - Tinyproxy
    - Heroku CLI
    - And a creativity winner: a snap for the Ubuntu Kylin icon theme,
which bundles commands to enable/disable the theme

There are more branches still being worked on (for example a git build
of GIMP
<https://github.com/wandrewkeech/snappy-playpen/tree/master/gimp-git>!).
Check out the full details in our full recap of the Snappy Playpen
kickoff
