Where is this mysterious flow of funds from Mark to KDE, because I can't trace it, barring the one-off donation required to be a patron of KDE?“Probably he counts money spend on KDE

But what money? Where is this mysterious flow of funds from Mark to KDE, because I can’t trace it, barring the one-off donation required to be a patron of KDE?

I'm sure JR is running a flawless Kubuntu on his own computer. But if (I suppose) only 20% of kubuntu users got a flawless kubuntu out of box, while (I suppose) 80% of ubuntu users got a flawless ubuntu out of box, it would always seem that kubuntu being a step-child. Please pay more attention and quality test both Kubuntu and Ubuntu equally for every new feature introduced to ubuntu. Thanks.What he need to do is to pay more attention instead of pay more money.

Taking a look here:
http://apachelog.blogspot.com/2009/04/facts-about-rosetta-and-kubuntu-l10n.html
probably would be a good starting point…

And in detail, where does he spends these $2m? I’m just curious… I don’t think J.Riddell sucks THAT much! (sucks intended as costs, obviously)

I was trying to inject some humor into the whole Canonical/Kubuntu discussion myself. Apparently, major FAIL on my part.

I know that Mark has supported Kubuntu, but for some reason others don't think he has, or expect him to push it the way Canonical does Ubuntu. I am totally fine with Kubuntu being more of a community developed distro than have a bunch of corporate stiffs making decisions on its development. I actually prefer this. Obviously my question was taken out of context and seemingly upset people. I am glad you found the humor in it, as did some other people. The reaction I got was upsetting, and I was hoping people knew me a bit better than someone trying to be an asshole during OpenWeek. Don't know what's next on my plate now.I wasn’t actually trying to cause a ruckus, I really wanted to see Mark come up with a quick song or poem.
