Jonathan Riddell the lead Kubuntu developer who was hired by Canonical to develop Kubuntu was reassigned to other projects. Jonathan quit Canonical and joined Blue Systems, which funds other GNU/Linux based systems such as Linux Mint, to continue his work on Kubuntu. Now Kubuntu team is opening up for external donations to allow the team to invest more resources on making Kubuntu better.
