For awhile there was speculation, yes. And we have lost some key
developers who will be stepping back from 15.10 release to work on
other projects. So it is certain that things will change.

Recently we had an election for the Kubuntu Council, and we plan to be
around for the long haul. In our last meeting with the Ubuntu
Community Council, we were assured that the Ubuntu community as a
whole and the community leadership as well, wants Kubuntu, and will
support us in our effort to bring out the best KDE distribution on the
planet.

With the stepping away of some of our most productive developers
though, we do have openings for those in the community who want to
step up and help out. As you know, we've always been a
community-produced distro. We'll continue to work in that way, and
would welcome your help, no matter what your skill level.

Seriously, newcomers often point out problems that more experienced
users just work around without thinking about. So come help us make
Kubuntu shine. IRC: #kubuntu-devel Mail-list:
kubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com

And of course join us in our UOS planning sessions as well. I will
write once those meetings are scheduled.
