How is GNOME doing?
Good things
Open development +
Free Software =
Level playing field
15 years of experience delivering software
Community
Modern UX for everybody:
simpleusable
accessibleinternationalized
Powerful and mature core technologies
(GNOME platform)
GNOME 3 is awesome!
Bad things
Focus on the traditional desktop
Lack of direction and vision
Stop energy
Lack of corporate involvement
Fragmentation / Freeloaders
Limited resources
Bad developer story
Brain drain / Losing users
Opportunities
iOS / Android
They have the market
But not everyone is happy
Other open alternatives failing (Maemo, Moblin, Limo, Meego,...)
Tizen? OpenWebOS? FirefoxOS?
Solutions
We need A PLAN

We need to discuss and define this plan
Board
Design team
Release team

Let's make it happen
And start during this GUADEC
Come to the GNOME OS BoF/hackfest (30th of July, room 2.1a, 10am)

Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized.
