I want to clarify I don’t have any inside information regarding Red Hat or Sun’s plans, and Novell’s are still up in the air. But given Glynn’s recent comments, FC2’s use of 2.6, and Novell’s obvious desire to ship a product to compete with JDS and RHEL WS at some point, I can see the [...]

I submit to you that people hacking on Gnome off in their own corners is what brings the coolest, new things to Gnome. The way I see it, the atmosphere behind thinking to create a “functional, stable release” is more focused on current features. Gnome needs both free spirits and “stabilizer” people…
Just to clarify, [...]
the blog tool needs a ‘do what I mean, stupid’ option.
Just read Havoc’s post, and I do think he has it mostly right- GNOME does do it better than most. That said, some comments on his, Benjamin’s, and Jeff’s posts:
I don’t see why having the Foundation employ some hackers would be a bad thing, as [...]

Slept in after last night’s depressing Duke loss. 8 point lead in 3 minutes. Arrgh. On the plus side, a year after the trip, got my pictures from last year’s trip with krissa posted, finally. And I got my taxes done. Not a bad day, at least after yesterday. Oh well- go Tech!
When Dave and I were in Nuernberg, we saw a robot taking pictures of some of the remaining stained glass in St. Sebaldus church. Decided to look up the robot this morning; they have a very neat site, and it is reassuring to see that somene is collecting and storing such things. The French are [...]
Just read Havoc’s post on usability. I don’t think there is any challenge in building a closed organization that churns out usable code that happens to be GPL, which it sounds like is what RH is planning. I think the challenge (and I hope Ximian and RH’s design teams can work with the community on [...]
I was pleased to discover last night that my alma mater has purchased the public domain. Take that, Lessig.
