?othing related to Luis in my lack of reply -- just a general lack of time :/ I'll reply to Luis because I think he's raising things that other people might think too. Just need to find time to do all this. > but I'm giving a lightning presentation on the > State of GNOME at OSCon next week, and the 3.0 thing is bound to come up > - I'd *really* like to be able to say something along the lines of "2 > years between major releases, 6 month between incremental releases, and > we've started the first cycle of that already - the release team is > working with maintainers & community to plan the major arc of features > for 3.0". So, here's what you can say, in my opinion: + this is only a proposal (still discussed within the community) + this is only a proposal (details might change) + this is an evolution, not a revolution + 2.5 years between major releases (although it's probably best to say 2-3 years) + these longer cycles are also used to help contributors focus on a few key areas + we love the 6 months development cycle. It's been fantastic. We definitely want to keep it. + people should compare GNOME 3.0 with GNOME 2.20 and not GNOME 2.28. + (probably many other things) I think it's too premature to say that this has been accepted, because many people were not at GUADEC and haven't been able to comment. I understand why you'd like to say so, though. > PS.
