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.

Oh yeah we are small...
But we could be huge - the next MS in fact
All we have to do is convince everyone that the Gnome Online Desktop (GOD - btw anyone else notice that one?) is sooo much better than the stupid Oracle NC idea or the variety of Webtops available now.
Oh yeah and please bung us a MASSIVE amount of venture capital... you'll make millions in return "Honest"
Never mind that HUGE swathes of users barely have access to the 'net, unlike those of us who tend to visit sites like OS news...
Or the fact that if all users were even remotely interested in OS's etc Windows would not be the OS that dominates...
