It needs to happen. First I didn't want to touch this topic but I think I can now ;-) It's a good idea to have some target, something we can aim and something we can analyze after time if we met it or not. Not easy task in open source world. But the problem with this discussion is - it should be technology (in terms of different desktops, spins) agnostic! There's no reason why the default Fedora should be Gnome only, KDE only, LXDE only, server only or whatever super hyper cool technology only is but the aim should be to deliver best experience for users (developers, aliens, predators) . Yes, probably few purists from all sides would complain now but I think it's the only way how to be successful. These days integration between different projects is much more easier (DBus, FreeDesktop.org specifications etc.) that I believe if we can communicate (and break all barriers) we can deliver best Fedora ever by picking best piece of software (and it's not only software). Interoperability is that strange word. And next to this Fedora, there could be standalone Gnome spin, KDE spin, server spin... Pure as glacier's water. Communication is currently the worst issue in Fedora community and it's crucial for open source to be successful. There should be no "I don't care about Gnome/KDE/server whatever" but "I care, let's do it!". We are all one community (I count even Ubuntu people :D). Do not play on your own small sandbox, do a revolution! ;-) Just my 1 CZK (full of cheap slogans) speaking as both Qt (KDE) and Gtk (s-c- config tools) Fedora developer ;-) Jaroslav _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
