As Fedora is the only current GNU/Linux distribution adapting GNOME 3.0 as the default desktop, how would you facilitate to make GNOME technologies to work well (meaning minimal local patching needed) on other GNU/Linux distributions like Debian, and such distributions which may work on components competing with certain parts of GNOME, such as Ubuntu? And how would you facilitate to make GNOME 3 run well on other free OS environments, especially the BSD based ones, like OpenBSD and FreeBSD?
I think everyone is encouraged to work towards making GNOME work to meet their needs, as with any free software. As long as patches can be kept manageable and under control, then I do not foresee any serious problems.
And how would you facilitate collaborations with Ubuntu, especially, despite the different viewpoints of developers on issues like GNOME Shell vs. Unity?
The GNOME Foundation already does work to encourage discussion between important contributors. There are a lot of topics to consider and discuss surrounding GNOME Shell and Unity and other technologies based on GNOME. I am sure this will be a big focus over the next year and beyond. At any rate, I think that Unity and GNOME Shell share enough infrastructure that there should be no serious concern that we will stop collaborating.
