Look at our talking points page for a few things. To that I can add that Novell does most of the work on Evolution (it even used to be Ximian Evolution, Ximian being part of Novell), Banshee and other GNOME apps. Novell employs people like Vuntz (gnome release manager and often said to be "father of gnome 3"), Miquel d'icaza (who started GNOME) and many other well known gnomies like Michael Meeks.
Without regards what is our mostly preferred desktop. We can feel the proud having all those desktop options available from only one DVD with no hassle.
GNOME is indeed the default desktop of SLED (KDE as a choice) just like KDE is the default on openSUSE and GNOME is a choice there. For openSUSE 11.4, we'll have the best GNOME 2.x implementation as the one in Ubuntu is crippled and changed with Unity and Fedora will have the quite new (and probably weird for many) gnome 3.
This is a good clarification most people ignore (the opposite options SLED vs. opeSUSE with default desktop and optional desktops)
In other words, if you like your current GNOME 2.x, openSUSE is actually THE linux distribution where you can enjoy it for the next 8 months... We won't ship GNOME 3 until 3.2 which will most likely be the first version to have all the improvements based on user feedback - I wouldn't ship the 3.0 to normal end users (like Fedora does).
Can we spread the voice about this above (we will ship GNOME 3 until 3.2) ?
