Jonathan Riddell Stepping Down From KDE Plasma Release Management

Written by Michael Larabel in KDE on 12 March 2025 at 06:18 AM EDT. 11 Comments
Longtime KDE developer who has served with Plasma release management duties, KDE Neon operating system development, and former Kubuntu release manager, among other roles, announced he will be stepping down from his Plasma release management duties.

Once the KDE Plasma 6.3 series is completed, Riddell intends to step down from the KDE Plasma release management role.

Riddell wrote on Tuesday in the brief Plasma 6.3.3 release announcement mailing list post:
"Please note I will step down from Plasma release management after the 6.3 series"

As of now no other details on the KDE Plasma release management changes are known.
