Kubuntu removing flatpak

 

Hello Council,

With the recent post [1] I'd like to work on a blog post to talk about the change and explain it to the community from the council as a whole. Possibly with steps on how to add it back if they want to later on, this would only effect new installs of 23.04 and not 22.04 or 22.10.

Before we do that I'd like to step back and apologize that I am the one who signed the form saying that as a project we are fine with removing flatpak from the seed. I did this Rik is on leave from the project and was placed as the point of contact for the call. Going backwards I would have done it differently and pushed it to the mailing list as a whole and get folks in but it is rather difficult as all of the KC seems rather distant and not always reachable other then a few. With that said I should have handled it better and with more transparently and effect on my part and I'm sorry for that.

Moving forward from where we are I think it is important to have a group message on the blog explaining the position to the community.
