Learn About Ximian and Gnome From Nat Friedman

Posted by Roblimo on from the one-of-evolution's-creators dept.

This week's interview guest is Nat Friedman, co-founder and vice president of product development for Ximian. Nat is also co-chair of The Gnome Foundation, and an all-around nice guy. Post your questions (one per post, please) for Nat below. We'll forward 10 of the highest-moderated ones to him, and will post his answers (verbatim except for HTML formatting) within the next week.

    This question made me quite curious as well. A google search just results in lots of postings asking "Where'd it go?"

    There's also a paper and some slides. So, I'll reiterate the question... where'd it go?

    GTK+ 2.0 supports frame-buffer so IMO generic GNOME stuff like the excelent kick-ass panel should be easily portable to fb.
    As long as they do not use anything other than gnome, like SDL and stuff.
    (Maybe it compiles and runs un-modified?)

    I don't know.

    For OpenOffice.org it should be the upcoming 1.0 release. A GNOME shortcut icon and document thingamys should be done by then. The same should be true for KDE.
