"GNOME OS" has proved to be a useful rallying point for the GNOME community itself, I think, since it describes the goals we've been talking about and avoids aimless long-term planning discussions. That said, we don't necessarily have to promote GNOME OS outside of our own community.
Each of the goals associated with GNOME OS have different deliverables, interested parties and time spans, and they can be promoted separately. Thanks to Colin's work, the testable initiative is making good progress, and the main people we need to engage there are developers working on the core as well as the Release Team. The core UX work is also ongoing and we need to keep reaching out to the community to push that forward (hence my recent blog post [1]). The next step, imo, is to connect with key people in the effort to develop a plan for application sandboxing and deployment - something that the developer experience hackfest [2] might help with. If and when we make some progress with that, we'll need to talk to application developers. But that's something for the future.
