FOSDEM Interviews

Posted by samzenpus on from the listen-up dept.

FOSDEM writes "The first FOSDEM speakers' interviews are available on the FOSDEM website. The FOSDEM folks have produced 3 great interviews of Alexander Larsson from Nautilus (Gnome), Matthias Ettrich from KDE and Olivier Fourdan from XFCE."

    Whenever someone points out how fragmented Linux desktop is, people reference Freedesktop. But these interviews show that Freedesktop is barely making a difference. The KDE mentions a little bit of cooperation, and the XFCE guy outright stats that they don't pay a lot of attention to it.

    With this kind of lazy attitude towards a desktop standard, it'll be another five years from now that people will be claiming "2010 is the year of Linux on the desktop!" I'm sorry, but it's true.

    Yes, I know I could just read TFA but would it really kill you to tell us what the hell FOSDEM is?
