I agree: I think Kubuntu (as well as Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and Lubuntu) are testament to the success of not only those respective communities, but the wider Ubuntu family.

I personally don't see the Kubuntu project going anywhere anytime soon: lets hope that this press will encourage more people to participate in the project.

Jono, are you a Kubuntu user? Do you see a future in Kubuntu? Or should I start switching to something else (Debian comes to mind)?

Yikes! What I said came out wrong!

When I say "I personally don't see the Kubuntu project going anywhere anytime soon" I mean that I don't see the project shutting up shop and stopping and not that the project has no direction.

Apologies for the lack of clarity!
