resignations, flamewars, and the future

[MATTHEW ETTUS <matthew ettus Sun COM>]

If the only reason you worked on GNOME was that KDE had bad licensing,
you were working on it for the wrong reason.

The KDE news is good...  It allows the success of Linux NOW.  It gives
us (finally) a 1990's class desktop.

GNOME allows continued success -- It advances technology, rather than
catches us up.  It will be the desktop for the next century.

The KDE news is good for GNOME... now GNOME can take its time and get it
right, rather than getting it first.

Thanks to all gnome core people for your work.  You are changing the
world.

Matt
