That doesn't sound like the GNOME I joined ten years ago. > I'm not trying to say you can't disagree with GNOME's decisions or talk about them, just that the way I see it, I don't see things changing. >From what I've seen over the years, I think we're more accepting of proprietary services. We introduced GNOME Online Accounts for integration with Gmail, Facebook, Windows Live and Twitter. We're discussing pulling user avatars from services like Gravatar. We're actively marketing through services like Twitter. If you're not happy with that, we can certainly bring it up to the board and talk about it, but from how I see things, I don't think we'll remove GNOME Online Accounts integration or stop our Twitter marketing campaigns. So, I'm saying that if you're not happy with those directions, I think GNOME may not be the best place for you. -- > Shaun > > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > -- Jasper
