Here's a list of concrete actions some GNOME people could do:
- look that portland doesn't do anything we don't like, or go and do
the GNOME part of the job
- join the LSB mailing lists and be active there
I think Brian Cameron is involved in that forum - or was under the
impression he was, perhaps not actively.
- help pushing the freedesktop.org spec out of the draft status
Completely agree here.
+ Portland project
- general feeling of nearly everyone was that it's sad that GNOME is
not involved in this effort
- would be nice to get someone to at least look at the project and
provide feedback
- Waldo and some KDE people wanted to make a joint GNOME/KDE
statement about the project ("we love it"). Is this something we
want to do?
I personally have issues with it because I can't get over the fact that
Portland is building on 'unstable or draft' specifications. Build the
bricks, *then* build the wall. I guess others have difficulties that
we're not encouraging our own toolkit APIs.
+ Standards
- some freedesktop.org discussion. Some specs should really leave the
draft status.
- some KDE people thought that GNOME was not involved enough on
xdg-list. I'm not sure why.
Because everyone who does get involved gets worn out after a short
period? And those that we would like to get involved are already spread
thin as it is?
+ aKademy will try to have a track on standards.
- it's in Dublin, at the end of September.
- maybe we should send some people there?
I could probably encourage some of the Sun desktop team to attend some
of the tracks.
