Re: Question to GNOME Foundation Board candidates

I was involved somewhat with the discussions Daniel keeps referring to. The talk of lack of GNOME applications referred to applications targeting the gnome HIG. Nothing to do with being open or not. Part of wanting to create something like this week in GNOME is to help draw attention to efforts
