Good idea, Dan. The annual LibrePlanet conference, for one, could arrange
yearly meetings among representatives of the higher-priority fully free
distros (at least one or two project leaders each from Trisquel, gNewSense,
Kongoni, and Blag, for instance) to discuss strategy.
It is my belief that elegance should be a major priority going forward. You
can't just strip a major distro of the non-free blobs and repos, write a
minuscule core of documentation for that, and call it a day. In the first
time in the FL/OSS movement's history reliable fully-free desktop distros are
a practical reality, and they will prove to be one of the most potent tools
in free software advocates' arsenals. But too many users of Ubuntu, Fedora,
Arch, and other big-name distros continue to linger in the impression that
making the switch is akin to going on a low-carb fast. We need to work on
that.
If we build it – and go about the right ways of promoting it – they will
come.
