Certainly. Distros are in the business of integrating and so absolutely downstream folks could/should participate. From that perspective, we could work together on keeping GNOME 3's visuals consistent across distros. Rather than have radical different themes across distros it would be nice to maintain GNOME's default look and feel yet have enough uniqueness between distros to distinguish their brand while respecting ours. The mailing list is already created gnome-integration-l...@gnome.org, feel free to subscribe. I'll work on getting a wiki page going, a discussion for a charter, and I'll talk about it on Planet GNOME with some examples on what I would like to see and what it means to integrate GNOME into your environment. sri ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Regards, Tomeu As Brian pointed out, it will require some infrastructure to be able to advertise and encourage this kind of thing. Building up a set of experts who can help integrate I think would help a lot of smaller companies adopt GNOME for their desktop and embedded devices need and also build a market for consulting, but we need a central place to allow for that kind of thing. sri ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Since, nobody has responded. I'm going to assume this is a good idea and I'm going JFDI. I'll probably need to figure out a charter for this mailing list. Details on the blogs, and I'm going to do some recruitment. sri ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
