Hi, Not sure such comments are constructive there. We do believe that desktopcouch is a nice technology and we decided to base some of the things we are doing on it. We didn't write it though and the erlang depends is coming with it. I fail to see why GNOME should judge distribution choices the way you are doing, we are still using GNOME as our default desktop and the fact that some of the choices we are making create some extra work for us shouldn't be a concern for GNOME. My email was just explaining what Ubuntu will be doing and why. > So the upshot is that GNOME3 will be happening without contributions > from your side I'm not sure to understand. I said we do plan to get there over 2 cycles, that we will get the platform GNOME3 and GTK3 ready this cycle but our default desktop will depends on it only next cycle (we will likely have GNOME3 in a ppa for this cycle for the users who want it). How is doing the work over two cycles and taking some time before switching not contributing? We will do what we can to help on GNOME3 and will be shipping it, we just believe our distribution doesn't have the capacity to make it happen by default for our users with our quality requirement in this cycle. > while your team is busy building their own desktop > experience with Ayatana and unity. Thats ok, lets just be honest about > it and stop pretending. Not sure what you call "your team" there, the Canonical Dxteam is working on unity, my team which is the Canonical Desktop Team is working on the Ubuntu desktop, we are working on GNOME as we did since Ubuntu started and we do plan to work on landing GNOME3 in the desktop, it's just going to take us two cycles for the reason explaining before. The fact that other teams at Canonical work on some other projects doesn't mean we will stop using GNOME or contributing, we just have different products to respond to different customers and users needs.
