I think it's fine to just start with what's going on. Retroactive it is 
probably less fun, and we're all following the news anyway.

Why Quarterly, btw? It is subdivided into months already ...

What about those sections:

- Software releases: contains apps release such as amarok, koffice and KDE 
  releases with links to changelogs and release notes
- Important developments: App snizzle can now read your mind, more 
  architectural stuff such as dmake is now our new buildsystem, and 
  interesting blogentries
- Community news: KDE present at UNIX Tag in Antarctica (are there ants in 
  antarctica, btw?), KDE e.V. joins fellowship of the Ring, Linus Torvalds new 
  maintainer of KNotes
- Distro and wider community news: examples: HiphopLinux releases with KDE2, 
  GNOME finally gets ported to Qt (links to articles and blogs)

- Other news: Wade won the triathlon and therefore looses geekpoints, Tom 
  finally bought a car, maybe some "coming up ..." things, such as meetings   
  that are planned, event attendance that's planned (those are really 
  interesting in advance)

The structure can be kept pretty loose, just to give some idea of
