Re: Reboot: Strategic goals for GNOME
2010/3/4 Stormy Peters stormy.pet...@gmail.com: c) Think about developing our own free web alternatives like identi.ca did. I'd especially like to see an open alternative to Dropbox/Ubuntu One. But there are lots and lots of web apps that people use regularly that could use alternatives. Social networking, finances, managing collections, ... Technically, there is: iFolder. It has struggled quite a bit, but it's still completely open and just waiting for someone to Do The Right Thing and get it fixed up a bit and offer a service. The biggest problem that iFolder has is no one is providing hosting for it. It's free software, but it's a bear to get a server running and way more hassle than most users are willing to put up with, even if they have the means to do so.

If that works out well, I think we should look at how we could provide hosting to other free and open web services. (It would have to include a plan for raising money for hosting. There are a number of ideas and alternatives that we could explore.) It seems to me there's a continuing need to 1) raise awareness about GNOME, 2) raise money for GNOME, and 3) provide services around open tools so users don't need to host their own servers, etc., to benefit from services like Snowy, iFolder, etc. Somewhere in there should be a self-sustaining model to raise money for the hosting and GNOME, and provide Free as in Freedom services for users in the bargain...

I have some stats already, but if you let me do this alone, I'll likely only present some less-effort stats ;-) Depends on how time-sensitive it is. I should have some time towards the end of the week, but right now am pretty swamped.

Re: Private Foundation-List Petition for referendum
2009/12/14 Stormy Peters stormy.pet...@gmail.com: Are there people on this list that are not GNOME Foundation members? If so, can you speak up? It would be good for everyone to know why you subscribe to foundation-list and the value you see in it. Yes. I'm not a Foundation member, but I am on the advisory board. Obviously the discussions are still of interest, even though I'm not a member.

Re: Code of Conduct and Foundation membership

That seems like a cop-out to me, at least as phrased. Does this mean if there's a codified set of guidelines in the future but it doesn't address something explicitly, then your hands are tied in addressing it? Inappropriate is inappropriate, whether it's pointed out ahead of time or not. Yes, a set of guidelines is a good idea, but this shouldn't hold up the board addressing behaviors that are clearly inappropriate, guidelines or no.
