“As most of you know Gnome has an umbrella project. Many
developers will develop their applications independently and
present them under the Gnome Umbrella. In some ways they will get
more support going this route. And it is also a way of giving back
to a community that has given us so much. Seriously, I don’t know
what I would be doing without Gnome. Sure it had issues in the past
but look at it now. It glows.“I have been using Linux before Redhat was using Gnome. When
Gnome came around, to me it was a lifesaver. I liked the speed and

have no doubt that Gnome will continue to gain more support fast on
the desktop. So, we have to ask ourselves what pieces does Gnome
need to compete on the desktop? Gnome has a wide range set of
applications and tools. We have a basic desktop that will compete
with basic Windows Desktop hands down…”
