I have a good amount of mental notes, but you're right that it would be a good idea to write this down somewhere.

This is a good idea! I hope to release a bunch of code in the coming months. After this is out there, maybe I can take more time to look into this. I've encountered a lot of broken/old GNOME deployments. I have a number of puppet scripts and infrastructure (that I'm working on) that aim to provide an easy/sane deployment process to help avoid bad installs. Many users are still using ~2.18 era GNOME because of overly busy sysadmins. I can help make this easier. > > sri Cheers, James > > > > On Sat, Dec 22, 2012 at 11:14 PM, James <purpleidea gmail com> wrote: > Dear foundation-list, > > I would like to introduce myself, my name is James Shubin, and > I'm a > sysadmin/developer from Montreal, Canada, and a new GNOME > foundation > member.
