Hi all,

as some of you might have recognized, Fedora's LXQt is quite outdated (we have 0.11, current one for some weeks now is 0.13) and also needs some rework with respect to theming and the package set (upstream restructured packaging a bit with respect to common files). When I joined the Fedora LXQt effort, my job was the creation of the spin while other maintainers took care of most packages. Unfortunately the core packager left Fedora. I did the whole update once, but at that time it was mostly just about bumping the version and rediffing the patches. Also I had much more free time at that point.

As I recognized that I also really need more time for work on my PhD stuff, I decided to resign from work on Fedora LXQt. Of course I will continue my work on Fedora's scientific packages including the Astronomy Lab, which is closely linked with my PhD stuff. Also my other contributions like acting as an ambassador will continue as before, so it is "just" about LXQt.

If you're interested in picking Fedora LXQt up, let me know. Then I'll also give initial assistance of course. I already started some work on the update some weeks ago in copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lupinix/LXQt-0.13/ and https://pagure.io/lxqt-testing-copr This is missing the rework on themes etc., and I did not check all of the older patches. My intention of that move now is, that there should be still enough time for new maintainers to get everything up to date again for Fedora 29. Or (hopefully not :( ) to remove it if necessary.

Greetings,
Christian
