Dear Eva
Thank you for your lovely email.
There have been many significant changes in the Kubuntu community in
recent times, and our community is re-orientating itself.
It is an exciting time with many new ideas, contributions and fun times.
We are delighted that you want to get involved, we are a doacracy, and
we welcome action and involvement. There are no silly questions and no
silly statements.
As Aaron said, jump into #kubuntu-devel#
Join in on list here, as you have done
make suggestions, do things, share, and above all "Make Friends and Have
Fun"
Looking forward to getting to know you better
Rick Timmis
