This is an invitation for the Kubuntu and KDE community to join us at
LinuxTag on 6 May in Wiesbaden near Frankfurt to chart the future course
of Kubuntu. We will hold a series of meetings and presentations on the
structure of Kubuntu and Ubuntu, the goals of the project, and an open
discussion on how Kubuntu can come to represent the very best example
of KDE in action.
...

During the course of these discussions I would like us to nominate a core
leadership team for Kubuntu which can take overall technical
responsibility for the desktop, as well as teams to drive artwork,
documentation, quality assurance, translation, marketing and distribution.

Canonical underwrites the Kubuntu project, which gives us just enough
resources to make a regular release of Kubuntu. But if KDE is to gain
the same sort of audience that Ubuntu gives the Gnome project then it
will need to be done in close partnership with you, the real creators
of KDE. So I hope that many of you will come and participate in these
discussions so we can create real teamwork and set real goals to ensure
that Kubuntu really shows off the best of KDE.
...

If we have sufficient uptake of this idea in the KDE community, we will be
able to provide enough additional resources that in due course we can
separate out the release cycles of Kubuntu and Ubuntu to the point where
Kubuntu can release when KDE releases - though of course if KDE can adopt
a regular release cycle then our efforts to use the best server-level
work in the Ubuntu project as a stable core for Kubuntu will be greatly
enhanced.

Sounds promising. :-D

KDE is a generation before Gnome, always has been, explain to me in specifics what gnome has that KDE doesn't.

If you can... hehe...

I find this extremely unimportant, i'll ve better off recommending it, installing it and securing it on a corporate level.

I use Slackware for that, hoever, i like the fling of the ubuntu so for other semi supported users that i mainain, as well as keeping myself up to dat... i'll run Ubuntu... might even replace that Slackware if it is ever as stable... nah... heh..

I say this as someone who prefers Gnome.

Not that I respond to posters like this often:

I sure can:
As a Kubuntu user, Ubuntu's Gnome setup has had more polishing and tweaking (time and effort-wise) than Kubuntu's KDE setup. It is not at all about which DE is better at all.
