Hi all,
while I think that the discussion has elements that are partly paranoid, I feel it might be worthwhile to put the issue on one of the upcoming meetings agenda.
I'd like to know what the differences in GNOME among distributions might be, and if and how these differences are perceived by the audiences.
Furthermore I'd like Vuntz's opinion on the topic, as he should have a pretty good picture from his upstream background.
Not really sure why my opinion matters (especially since, well, as long as I have GNOME, I can be happy ;-)). Anyway, my personal opinion is that there's not that much difference on a technical point of view between all distributions when it comes to GNOME. The main differences are polish (including artwork, eg) and the default applications. Also note that we're all starting to do more and more things upstream, which should mean, in the end, that we're all going to be even more similar from the technical point of view. Which is a good thing. FWIW, I think we're doing a good job with the polish (although we still have some bugs), but I'm not really happy with the default applications (that's part of the pattern topic that Magnus is working on) -- if it were only me, I'd kill many packages on the default install ;-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
