Hi Silvia,

First of all, thanks for contacting us. I think it would be more
effective for you to directly contact the German GNOME community and
GIMP developers to get more concrete contributions.

I'm CC'ing Sven Herzberg (gnome-de) and Sven Neumann (Gimp) to know
what they think about the initiative and how/if they could
participate.

Regards,

> LiSoG considers a Linux benchmark suite an important factor in the promotion of Linux and Open Source Software and our board of directors has decided to invite hardware producers, Linux distributions, Open Source projects and public institutions to participate in a syndicate for the development of such a benchmark. At the moment there are benchmark tests for Linux servers, but not for desktop PCs. This causes big disadvantages for the use of Linux operating systems and open source software in that sector.

> Please note that the workshop will be in German, also the paper of specifications, which will be defined at the workshop, will be in english. The goal of this first workshop is to determine the requirements of a Linux benchmark suite in order to comply with the legal specifications of the European Union. As part of this process we will define the open source
> applications to be tested and the typical workflows in the area of office productivity.
> Further information on of the workshop's contents and agenda can be found at http://www.lisog.org/projekte/lbds/lbds_engl
> Background information on technical issues for the benchmark suite is at http://www.lisog.org/projekte/lbds/benchmarksuite/. The site is at present only available in German.
