During his opening speech at the GNOME Developers conference GUADEC Jono Bacon, community manager for the Ubuntu distribution,
called for a common vision inside the project, an area in which the project as a whole is currently lacking. Only a few hours later Red Hat developers Havoc Pennington and Bryan Clark presented their own proposal for a reinvention of the Open Source desktop:
The GNOME Online Desktop.
My take: As I have
been saying for a long time, GNOME needs a vision (and leaders) for the future. I'm glad that people are finally stepping up.
