#ISupportJonathan

[SteveRiley]

Benjamin Kerensa (blog, LaunchPad), a new member of the Kubuntu Team, is starting a Twitter campaign in support of Jonathan Riddell. We, the administrators of KFN, fully support Jonathan and find the actions of the Ubuntu Community Council to be less than professional.

A clarification: Benjamin was voted in as a Kubuntu team member, not to the Kubuntu Council.

Yep, that's right. The KC is the governing body, elected by and from members of the larger Kubuntu Team. For more details, see the Kubuntu Council Constitution.

[Snowhog]

So, was Jonathan not on the KC before all of this?

[SteveRiley]

Before the brouhaha, there were six, including Jonathan.

Screen shot:



Looks like he got evicted by the Ubuntu Community Council. He is, however, still a part of Kubuntu Members. https://launchpad.net/~jr/+participation

[GreyGeek]

So, why is Scott still on the list? He announced he was resigning and moving his development skills to Debian.

EDIT: For someone who said he quit development on Kubuntu he's continued to post revisions:

It takes time to transition projects to other maintainers.

After much public controversy, the Ubuntu Community Council and Kubuntu
Council have met with Mark Shuttleworth and Jonathan Riddell to chart a
path forward. Jonathan Riddell has removed his membership in
~kubuntu-council as the Community Council required, and the Fridge post
has been removed as the Kubuntu Council requested. Provisions are being
made to better handle cases where there is a potential conflict of
interest for a member of the CC.

We have mutually agreed that KDE is important to Ubuntu, and the Kubuntu
Council believes that Ubuntu is important to the KDE community as well.
Therefore we have a basis to work together on putting out a lovely Wily
release. We recognize that there are honest and strong feelings about
both the things that led up to the current controversy and the way that
resolution of it was handled. Despite that, we would all like to move
forward as best we can for the betterment of the Ubuntu project,
including Kubuntu.

The Kubuntu Council is pleased to see that process improvements have
been made that will make issues like this easier to solve in the future
should they recur and looks forward to a great Wily (15.10) release. The
Community Council is likewise pleased be working with the Kubuntu
Council to ensure that a KDE flavor of Ubuntu continues to be well
supported by the community and Canonical.
