If I plan to denote $10 monthly from China, is there a good way? I
found that I need to pay about $18 in order to remittance $10 from
China to US.
You could save it up for a year, and send it all at once.
It would be efficient that way.

I dont see how I can agree that entering in direct competition
with anyone who wants to make a dollar from a software solution is
going to bring us to that long-term goal.
The GNU Project has a history of competing successfully with
proprietary software. For instance, GCC competed

This is definitely interesting. However, we do not have the expertise
to run such a track. How about when the call for proposals opens for

proposals?

What we need for use with GNOME is programs that are be free software.
That is not the same thing as open source. Most open source programs
are free software, but there are some exceptions.

I don't think any of the free software flash players handles Flash 9.
Gnash has partly implemented it, but not completely; its maintainer
says that swfdec is less advanced.
If that is true, it is a bad thing to use Flash 9, because you would,
in effect, be pressuring people to use the non-free

The FSF might have one. Others probably do as well.

Is it? What are we actually talking about?
The original referenced e-mail
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2005-November/msg00177.html)
is a technical opinion on how to make open standards as useful as
possible in providing cross-platform/cross-desktop
We might even consider a press release explaining our point of view.

Fine with me, though I don't think anybody will notice.
Just making a statement may not have much effect. However, asking
visitors to the site to write to politicians can have more effect.
For example, people still feel that by default GNOME should ship with
stuff that makes it easy to encode to mp3 or rip CD's for their hardware
devices that do not support open formats; or that GNOME should play
DVD's.
I think there is a misunderstanding--we are not talking about
We want to encourage non-free apps to use GNOME, but we don't want to

In what way does moving to C# serve Microsoft?
Because it supports their strategy, and the goal of their strategy is
to wipe us out.
Aside from Portable.NET and Mono, the only support for C# is that of
Microsoft. Theirs is surely more advanced than ours, and is likely to
remain so, even as

For GNOME to include C# support as an optional add-on cannot hurt. It
should work with Portable.NET, which is the GNU implementation of C#,
and whose design is more favorable to possible integration with GCC
than that of Mono is. However, it is fine to work with Mono as well.
I think it is
Many of the candidates have identified software patents as a major
threat. Would GNOME like to help in the campaign against the new
IPR enforcement directive in the EU? A prominent link to FFII's

Actually, no you can't. Perhaps there are those who know how much
each board member has done but quite honestly, I have no clue. And

information from them not only about themselves but the others on the

It sounds like increasing the size of the board by 3 people could
achieve both of the goals that Dave was talking about: to get more
things done, and to have more contested seats (provided enough people
decide to run so as to make a real contest).

However the reason you are saying that Ubuntu is
shipping non-free software is not known to me (well, the only place,
where I see non-free software might be, is device drivers, but that is a
fault of hardware vendors. And it is reasonable to use them, isn't it?

You know those printers or modems that have a penguin sticker that says
