  • Very important points. Even if you don't like Gnome Shell, in the end we are all on the same side, we are all still supporters of freedom and free open source software. We should stop arguing and bickering with each other, because our cooperation is crucial if we are to bring open source software to the masses. I don't care if people end up with KDE or Gnome Shell, just as long as they end up with free open source software in the end!

  • Thank you Karen Sandler for this amazing, heartfelt speech. You really hit some major points about why open source software is important, specially in your case but also many similar others where is critical to know the code.

  • @CaptainHollyShort wat? She didn't talk anything about Gnome until 29min into the clip..

  • Hour long advertisement for GNOME.

  • @totakeke I personally feel that the STRENGTH of linux is that you can choose Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, LXDE, etc etc. No matter what your "dream desktop" is, there's high chances that someone shares your idea, or that you can adapt an existing DE. I had a windows-using friend telling me "I wish there was a way to rightclick, and get a circle of options, and be able to click one. That would be my dream UI." He was shocked when I showed him Gnome Pie.

  • Great talk, she really should be on TED or something.

  • question: how do you tell if a lawyer is lying?

    answer: her lips are moving.

  • Give this great talk some informative description and better title please!

  • For a few months there I kind of felt like open source had become an uphill battle, but GNOME 3 helped bring back into focus just how much of an impact free software makes, and can make, on people. New users especially seem to be very interested in GNOME 3 every time they see it, so it's a good situation.

    Also, when I heard Karen's first keynote (was it from GUADEC?), it sparked my imagination for how much further we can go with our software.

    I just hope it's not too late for libre phones. :\

  • Thanks, great talk. I hope Gnome and KDE plan to collaborate more on accessibility front,as well as on reaching to more general users.

  • @totakeke You should do a speech too :)
