Interview with a Kubuntu Developer

By boredandblogging | Published: 2009-05-05

The Kubuntu German Community Team recently interviewed one of the newer Kubuntu developers, Jonathan Thomas. In Jonathan’s interview, he talks in detail about the Kubuntu Jaunty release, his amazing and popular work on the Weather Wallpaper, upstream relations and more.

kubuntu-de.org: We can’t wait to get Jaunty released, but the next release is also planned and it will be called “Karmic Koala”. Is the K in there a special incentive for you?

Jonathan: I think I’d give it the same amount of work even if it was named “Giggling Gnome”, but I think that the K in there is pretty neat.
