A bright future for GNOME
Xan López

Juan José Sánchez
How is GNOME doing?
Good things
Open development
         +
   Free Software
         =
 Level playing field
15 years of experience
  delivering software
Community
Modern UX for everybody:

          simple
          usable
        accessible
    internationalized
Powerful and mature core technologies

          (GNOME platform)
GNOME 3 is awesome!
Bad things
Focus on the traditional desktop
Lack of direction and vision
Stop energy
Lack of corporate involvement

Fragmentation / Freeloaders

      Limited resources
Bad developer story
Brain drain / Losing users
Opportunities
iOS / Android

  They have the market

But not everyone is happy
Other open alternatives failing
(Maemo, Moblin, Limo, Meego,...)

Tizen? OpenWebOS? FirefoxOS?
Solutions
We need A PLAN
More GNOME 3

More focus on mobile

GNOME as an OS/distro
An ambitious plan for 3.8 - 3.12

           Roadmap
GNOME 3.12 = GNOME 4.0 = GNOME OS

           March 2014
Shell + Core apps mature and polished (4.0)
Touch enabled mobile UX (4.0)

     GNOME on tablets
OS / Installer / Updater (4.0)

Q&A / Buildbots (4.0)
SDK (4.x)
Distribution channels and support for:

          Native applications (4.x)

Web (hosted and packaged) applications (4.x)
HW available with GNOME 4.x preinstalled (4.x)
Enable (new) sustainability models
Hardware related business models

Cloud services

App store

Support / Consultancy
We need to discuss and define this plan
Board

Design team

Release team

Module maintainers

GNOME companies and volunteers
Let's make it happen

And start during this GUADEC
Come to the GNOME OS BoF/hackfest
(30th of July, room 2.1a, 10am)

Talk to us!
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir
men's blood and probably will not themselves be
realized.
