Kubuntu 15.10 Will Have KDE Plasma 5.4.2

[humbug]

No. We're losing some of our most experienced developers, but we're bringing in new developers as well. The Kubuntu Council has met with the Ubuntu Community Council and I think we have peace and cooperation. KDE, Ubuntu and Debian are all healthy, and Kubuntu is made from all three. I believe we'll do well, long into the future. See the recent Kubuntu Podcast #5 for more detail: http://youtu.be/qGkjB4gCGhw

Good to hear. Was really dreading about jumping to another distro.

Aaahhh finally an official statement! Thanks for taking the time!

Sounds good.

So in other words; The forces have aligned and Kubuntu shall live on... right?

Cheers,

Is this the end of the road for Kubuntu?

Most likely Kubuntu will merge with Netrunner.

Mr. Riddell is moving the Kubuntu user base from Canonical to his new employer Blue Systems.

1) Set one: Cause Drama
2) Step two: Move User Base
3) Step three: Blue System Monetizes User Base
4) Step four: Profit

That's pure speculation, considering only vague accusations against him were made public and the whole thing went behind closed doors.
But I am curious to see what happens after 15.10 and not releasing any statements after the initial one only adds to the drama.

Hm... sounds kinda diabolical. Kinda sad there aren't any official updates to the situation though. Surely someone must know wth is going on, I hope?

I would also like to know the answer to that question..

An error often occurrs because of official links administrators distraction, is not to publish previewes of the new system so to give the possibility to the entusisasts to advertise the forthcoming new operating system by the social network justa before they are released.

Excellent news I'll finance this project.

What about wayland progress!?
