[no subject]



So, here is what I'm bringing to the table:  I'm volunteering to work with
interested fd.o admins and other volunteers to switch GNOME to git.  I need to
first go check to see if I can secure enough time to lead this, and if I can
get enough peoples' attention to make this happen in a timely manner.  I will
make an official proposal when I figure those out.

Thanks Emmanuele for bringing this up.  It deserves more than a postscript
spot.  This is a real issue we need to overcome.  At some point, we need to
understand that we can't make everyone happy.  We should aim for making
everyone happy-enough.  And it helps if individuals also understand that it's
not about any single person getting what he wants.  That's exactly why we did
the survey to get an idea of what the community at large prefers.


Cheers, and a late Happy New Year,
