At GUADEC Karen Sandler gave a talk (not yet available on video I think). At the start of GNOME 3.0, she got *loads* of flack regarding the change. In most recent conferences she attended, she actually was surprised to see how many people were using GNOME 3 (there were loads of hands going up). I don't attend many conferences (just FOSDEM + GUADEC), but found it interesting. I think Karen went to loads of conferences. Then there was the Linus thing. He mentioned hating GNOME 3, then briefly after that mentioned switching back to GNOME 3 again. What do people remember or think he's using atm? And regarding Linus, he also gave us (somewhat deserved) flack during 2.x :-P -- Regards, Olav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
