A bright future for GNOME

A bright future for GNOME

Juan José Sánchez
How is GNOME doing?
Good things
Open development
         +
   Free Software
         =
 Level playing field
15 years of experience
  delivering software
Community
Modern UX for everybody:

          simple
          usable
        accessible
    internationalized
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
More GNOME 3

More focus on mobile

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