Whenever I google for Lubuntu, lubuntu.net is always appear on the top result. I thought that this was the official site (wasn't sure about this).

enter image description here

However, I've just noticed that there are two sites for Lubuntu.

lubuntu.net vs lubuntu.me

only offers older version 19.04

while

offers latest version which is 20.10.

Are they from similar or different team?

Which one is the official site for Lubuntu?
