Hi Valorie and Rohangarg: Sorry if this is a repeat. I had a number of bounces due to the mailing list. Just to be sure, here is the proposal again. If I should send this to someone else, please let me know. Our company (MindShareManagement Inc., a California company) is interested in providing an official Kubuntu 19.10 developer laptop for sale. We can fund the the project, create the sales site, coordinate marketing, and provide software support. We would share the profits with the Kubuntu organization. Kubuntu would provide the the branding, a prominent landing page, and link to the sales site. I've spent a month consolidating 25 years of experience of using Unix and Linux to create numerous commercial sites (many HP/HA) into a laptop image well suited for web developers. We could begin low-volume shipment in as little as two weeks. Please visit https://mmikowski.github.io/k19-10-guide/ and especially https://mmikowski.github.io/k19-10-guide/#appendix-c to see what I have put together. We have already arrange an OEM, shipping, and branding logistics and have test hardware in shipment. While its obvious we intend to ship this laptop one way or another, I think the links above show how well suited we are for each other. We ship pure Kubuntu 19.10 but with a practical approach to what developers need to get their done with the greatest efficiency and enjoyment. I have spoken with Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan who is copied above. I believe with Catalina currently upsetting everyone in Silicon Valley, there is no better time than now to have a Kubuntu branded developer laptop on the market. This offer can provide significant income to Kubuntu. Please call or write ASAP as time is of the essence. Sincerely, Michael S. Mikowski 415-418-4731 -- http://about.me/valoriez - pronouns: she/her
