Subject: Issuing a press release about GNOME 3 - msg#00000List: gnome.marketingI've already started to see a lot of bullshit about the GNOME 3.0 announcement and I think it would be useful for a GNOME release team press release announcing our plans for the 3.0 release (date, goals, over-riding plan) to explain that this is an incremental approach similar to Ubuntu's (2 - 3 year major arcs, with regular 6 month releases) and, above all, that this represents an evolution of existing GNOME, and not a massive re-write or re-design of the desktop. Thoughts? Cheers, Dave. Thread at a glance:

Yeah, we discussed this with Stormy. Definitely something to do. Also, I think we can start some document for the community, and some FAQ. Maybe also some slides that people can re-use to explain things. I won't have a lot of time next week, but I'll do my best to at least help clear the mystery for people who didn't attend GUADEC -- I'll have more time the week after.
