I agree. It would be really cool to have different devices throughout the report and a filmstrip right by the article might really drive home how it's everywhere.

While at that, to incorporate the idea that many (most?) people just check out
the photos and read their captions when browsing an annual report, I was
thinking that maybe we can do a photostrip (four small photos/shots in a row)
for each distro/device, with a two/three line caption.

Sun Ray is an interesting device that supports GNOME, and probably hasn't
been featured in this way before.  While not a small device in the sense of
a PDA, it is a novel thin client and has many issues similar to other small
devices (such as dealing with network latency issues).  Over the years, I'm
aware of a number of performance tweaks that have gone into GNOME as a
result of getting GNOME working on Sun Ray.

For FOSDEM last year the Sun Ray team branded some units with the KDE logo.
Perhaps they could be talked into doing a GNOME one as well?

Of course, there is also the Nokia units which use GNOME, and the One Laptop
Per Child computer.

This begs the question, what GNOME-based devices officially launched in
'08?

Hi Stormy,

2008/12/3 Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>:

I definitely think we should put it in the annual report.

Agree. Not sure it should be a full article about it. Maybe I good way
to include it is in the now called "2008 in Distributions" article
(could be renamed to something more general) which will be written by
Davyd (cc'ing him now).

Indeed - it's very cool, and I have referred to this on a number of
occasions as a very cool example of the GNOME platform in use in a
vertical application - mostly on GNOME Mobile.

I think we should also get a story from them, and put it either in the
GNOME Journal or in the annual report. Or both!

Cheers,
Dave.
