    Can't you be a tiny bit more verbose in the articles?

    ..is to alert us to a piece of news and help us decide if we want to know more about it.

    This story does only one of those things.

  4. "10 x 10" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I watched Jeff Waugh's talk tonight, which I found rather interesting. He was supposed to talk about the move to 3.0, but instead, gave a rather inspiring talk about "shared values and shared vision."

    The main idea he presented is his desire to see the GNOME foundation unified under a common goal, rather than just the ambiguous goal of "a good desktop." His suggestion was that the GNOME foundation and affiliated hackers push to give GNOME a 10% *global* market share by the year 2010. And yes, that means 10% of *all* computers running GNOME withing 5 years.

    Sound ridiculous? I'm not sure. I see some exciting things happening inside of GNOME. And finally, it's not just about usability, but rather, it's some exciting new apps. Not to mention the fact that 4 of the biggest distros ships GNOME by default. It seems obvious that as Linux market share grows, GNOME usage will as well.

      I would be happy to use Gnome as my main desktop when it can beat KDE at its own game and not go off on weird spatial adventures... and one of the first things they've got to do is to use a separate programe to handle the wallpaper and icons and stop using Nautilus... there you are, happily running icewm and you accidently start Nautilus up... whoops, your desktop gets taken over and stays that way even after closing the Nautilus window...

    If you're only going to watch one, watch Jeff Waugh's presentation about "GNOME 3.0" and his ballsy 10x10 goal (10% market share by 2010). If you're looking for something to hack on, check out the presentation on PiTiVi, which is a nonlinear video editor that sounds like it has potential if the planned features that were laid out in the presentation are seen to fruition. And if you've heard about Canonical/Ubuntu's Launchpad services but never really knew they were all about, watch Mark Shuttleworth's keynote.
