With 15.10 successfully released I'm standing down as release manager
of Kubuntu.
Making Kubuntu over the last 10 years has been a fantastic journey.
Even since I first heard about a spaceman making a Linux distro using
Debian but faster release cycles I've known this would be something
important

I'd like to highlight this bug in utopic which has existed since the
first alpha. There's no OEM option in the syslinux gfxboot menu on
the ISO images. There's also a random "back.." menu option.

Gnome will have the same issues as KDE - unstable API and ABI and lack of

Here's a discussion I half started as part of vUDS.
The switch to Mir in Ubuntu seems pretty risky for the existance of
Kubuntu, I wonder if other flavours have the same probable problem.

Along with no UDS this feels like a further move away from being a community

I think this is a terrible shame. A virtual event will result in far
less focused sessions. It will also remove the important community
bonding aspect of UDS.
An event with only a week's notice is pretty useless especially if it

Getting ARM working reminds me a lot of installing linux on my desktop in 1999,
unclear what you need for hardware, software or how to debug.
I've got it working with Ubuntu Server precise and with all oneiric images but
