Dear DAM
With this writing I want to thank Norbert Preining for his
efforts and results of making KDE Plasma and applications
available in Debian. Several years ago releases of KDE
Plasma, applications, etc in Debian were significantly
delayed with respect to upstream releases. Norbert managed to
decreases this delay by a magnitude, even such that KDE Plasma
for Debian was made available before the release of KDE Neon!
Next to this, the quality of his packages were at highest
levels. In the occurance of bugs a mail to Norbert was
sufficient and almost by return e-mail solved. Nobert served
my and many others very well, his communication was clear and
swift.
Unfortunately Norbert communicated that he has been demoted
and as a result felt that he should leave Debian and its
community.
Looking at the results achieved and his track record, seen
from my perspective, I would appreciate very much, if Nobert´s
work could be continued for Debian. With this I kindly ask you
to do your utmost best to make this happen!
Thank you very much,
