Re: Proposal for GNOME press release about Nokia device
Hi, Sriram Ramkrishna a crit : GNOME enters embedded device market with Nokia No!Sorry, but we don't want to be in the embedded market. We discussed this at length in both marketing BOFs. We want this to be ISVs give GNOME software stack a stamp of approval Unfortunately, given that there was a release about Nokia during GUADEC already: http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/nokiadonation.html it looks like your work has been wasted. Leslie made the release in Stuttgart in co-operation with the Nokia people who were here. Leslie's going to be coming on the list now, so hopefully this won't happen again.

Hi Claus, Luis took lots of notes. I have only my memories. I expect he will write it up when he's back home and has recovered. Cheers, Dave.

But since I did say I would try to come up with something I wanted to follow through on what I committed (albeit late.)

quote who=Claus Schwarm For example, I suggested a 5x5 goal here last october [1]. You probably never saw it, or don't remember. Whoa, prescient! Funny, that's about the time I started seriously thinking about this as well. I wonder if something happened around then to inject it into our heads? Rad! ;-) I already started thinking about a wiki page, made a few calculations about the numbers, possible ways to reach that numbers, etc. Very inspriring talk. I only missed a few details about your talk's topic Topaz. ;) Ha ha.

Proposal for GNOME press release about Nokia device
Attached is a press release draft I wrote, edited and cleaned up a bit by Murray. Christian Title: GNOME Foundation congratulates Nokia on launch of Nokia 770 GNOME Foundation congratulates Nokia on launch of Nokia 770 Nokia Corporation launched today the Nokia 770 web tablet based on GNOME open source technologies May 25, 2005 - Boston, USA The GNOME Foundation would like to congratulate Nokia on their sucessful launch of the Nokia 770 web tablet. It's great to see an industry leader such as Nokia bring GNU/Linux and GNOME technologies to the mobile devices market. Nokia's use of many GNOME technologies, such as GTK+, GStreamer, GConf, GNOME-VFS and dbus, acknowledges the effort made by hundreds of people over the last few years. This also shows how the GNOME community allows a wide variety of companies and individuals to successfully work together. This is in addition to Nokia's previous granting of patent rights to Linux Kernel developers. The GNOME Foundation is truly excited by Nokia's involvement and looks forward to extending the relationship during this year's GUADEC conference in Stuttgart, where Nokia is one of the presenters. The GNOME Foundation would also like say thank Fluendo, OpenedHand and Imendio who have worked with Nokia on this device, providing expertise in the use of GNOME technologies. The GNOME Foundation is happy to see Nokia taking a very open approach with this project, ranging from the use of open source software to Creative Commons licensing for the graphics and artwork. We think Nokia have set an example to follow., says Chairman of the GNOME Foundation board, Owen Taylor. About the GNOME Foundation Comprised of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading companies, the GNOME Foundation is committed to supporting the advancement of GNOME. The Foundation provides organizational, financial and legal support to the GNOME project and helps determine its vision and roadmap. GNOME is an entirely free user environment for desktops, networked servers and portable Internet devices. The modern architecture and design of GNOME includes a technically advanced application development platform and a powerful end-user desktop environment. Major software companies and computer manufacturers support the GNOME development effort, which is led by a worldwide community of volunteers. More information on GNOME is available at www.gnome.org.

I think the sentence about patents should be dropped - Nokia are one of the largest pro-software patent forces lobbying in Europe right now. Thanking them for making some patents available to a single free software project condones their patenting behaviour.
