  1. GNOMEs Direction by remin8 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have been using GNOME for the last 2 years (with ubuntu). Before that it was all KDE. Initially, I though GNOME was a little unrefined, however, month-by-month I am seeing really great inovations taking place with the GNOME desktop project. The nice thing is it seems GNOME has a goal in mind and is headed right for it.

      Polish. It's just lovely. I'll grant you there hasn't been much move toward lots of shiny features, but to be honest that's the reason I prefer Gnome. It does what I need simply and well.

    The schedule is in GMT+1. The streams have been unreliable all day, apparently due to a poor network connection out from the event. Archives of talks should be available in the near future though (at http://stream.fluendo.com/archive/guadec/2006/)
