Thanks for staffing the booth and caring about our message here! The message we should give about this imho: * Thank you Canonical for sponsoring over the last years * Kubuntu is important for us so we will try to help where possible * This is sad but not the end of the world. It's a clarification of Kubuntu's status for Canonical * It is an opportunity for the community to fully take Kubuntu in their hands and show what it's capable of * Jonathan will likely still be working on parts that will benefit Kubuntu (Qt).
