I met Jonathan at the KDE4 launch event at Google in 2007. He is a great guy and I hope he gets time to continue to work on Kubuntu. I would like to thank him for his outstanding work.

BTW, in retrospect, it seems that his 6-month rotation to the bzr team was just a trial run to see if Kubuntu can survive without him. I guess the Kubuntu guys did well :)

P.S. Jonathan, thanks for the Irn-Bru you shared with me :)

It's unrelated but that it managed without me for 11.10 is a good sign for the future

You're welcome, plenty more of that here in Scotland :)

Anytime Jonathan. If you happen to be in the NY/NJ area anytime, give me a nudge.
