Summary: GNOME is divided on the question whether or not Mark Shuttleworth’s blog should be added to GNOME Planet (it’s a 2-2 draw, with 75% of the voters being Novell employees)
MARK Shuttleworth, to whom bug #1 is lack of majority GNU/Linux market share on the desktop, has submitted a bug to GNOME, asking politely whether he can be added to GNOME Planet. The responses mostly come from Novell employees. Novell’s Vincent Untz (GNOME Foundation Director) is against adding Shuttleworth to the planet (Lucas Rocha agrees with him), Novell’s Jeffrey Stedfast is in favour, and Microsoft’s MVP Miguel de Icaza is also in favour. Novell has a lot of influence in GNOME, perhaps too much.
=> ↺ has submitted a bug to GNOME | GNOME Foundation Director | a lot of influence in GNOME | too much
It’s interesting that Shuttleworth submitted this bug report (not being in GNOME Planet) just shortly after the PR problem he was having [1, 2, 3, 4].
What do you think? Should Mark Shuttleworth’s blog be syndicated by GNOME? █
