Dear Kubuntu Council Members,
*Copy to: Jonathan Riddell, Simon Quigley, and Scarlett Moore (Non KC
Members)*

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere
gratitude for your valuable participation in today's council meeting. It
was a pleasure to have Darin Miller, Rik Mills, Valorie Zimmerman, Aaron
Honeycutt, Jonathan Riddell, and Simon Quigley with us, contributing their
insights and expertise.

During the meeting, we successfully deliberated on several key topics:

Objectives for the Upcoming Kubuntu LTS Release: We had a productive
discussion on the goals and expectations for the imminent release, ensuring
that our upcoming version meets the high standards our users anticipate.

*Ubuntu Flavours Statement of LTS Support:* The council considered the
importance of making a statement regarding LTS support  for the Kubuntu
flavour. This decision aligns with our commitment to transparency and
clarity for our users.

*Contract Proposal for Scarlett Gately Moore:* We reviewed and agreed to
contract Scarlett Gately Moore for a three-month period, with an initial
budget of $6000. Her expertise will be invaluable in achieving our
objectives, which include the delivery of the 24.04 LTS Release, updating
the Kubuntu Installer to Calamares, and preparing an alpha release of
Plasma 6 targeting the Kubuntu 24.10 release.

All these matters were agreed upon at quorum, and the motions were
successfully carried.

*Actions and Outcomes:*

*Simon Quigley* will liaise with *Rik Mills* and *Scarlett Moore* to
coordinate the work details and oversee the delivery of our three primary
objectives.

*Simon Quigley* will facilitate the invoicing process by requesting
Scarlett to raise an invoice. The pro-forma for this was agreed upon during
the meeting.

*Jonathan Riddell,* in his role as the Kubuntu Treasurer, will be
responsible for handling the commissioning of payments.

I, *Rick Timmis*, will communicate the outcomes of this meeting to the
Kubuntu Council mailing list. I shall email similar to the Kubuntu users
list, and make a news post to kubuntu.org, on Sunday 4th February. This
will ensure that all members are updated and informed about our latest
decisions and plans.

Additionally, I will prepare an LTS Statement for submission to the Ubuntu
Technical Board. This statement will outline our commitment and approach
towards the Long-Term Support for Kubuntu.

Once again, thank you for your dedicated involvement and constructive
contributions in today's meeting. Your collective efforts continue to drive
Kubuntu forward, and I am confident that together, we will achieve
remarkable success in our upcoming endeavors.

Best Wishes

Rick Timmis
