There hasn't been an 'employed "KDE team"' since all the desktop teams were rolled up into the Boosters team. We were all doing KDE (or GNOME for that matter) stuff, more or less successfully, on the side of our Boosters projects. After 2 years, nobody thought the team as a whole was working so it's now been made clear by management that with the exception of essential 'release engineering' the team will work together on making openSUSE cool, whether it's release PR, events, or big picture engineering, and stuff like packaging desktops is a job for the community.
So, this means that Kubuntu and ROSA Linux are the last two distributions with paid KDE personnel?
Define 'paid KDE personnel'. A full time KDE engineering team? Employees with @kde.org? Redhat have Lukas Tinkl, Jaroslaw Reznik, Than Ngo. I'm not sure whether they all work 100% on KDE. Blue Systems (Bitrunner, based on Kubuntu ) have Alex Fiestas, Jonathan Riddell, Aurelien Gateau, Vishesh Handa, Aleix Pol, Harald Sitter, Rohan Garg, Jonathan Thomas at least. They seem to be aiming to do a benevolent desktop polish play based on 'doing Kubuntu right'. Dunno anything about ROSA. And 'big picture engineering' in my list will include some KDE projects, and that will include the openSUSE team, not just me.
