Absolutely. Last time we discussed this with KDE was at Gran Canaria
desktop summit I think. Too much time has passed since that awesome
conversation we had with them.

I kept asking GNOME for more desktop summits, but people at the
foundation thought that it would be better to go back to doing GUADECs.

Yet this stuff is important and we need the bandwidth of face to face
conversation and the pulse that a desktop summit creates in people to
get this stuff going again.

But really, we need to let go of ALL GNOME politics when we want to
get things that ought to be shared done. Opensource-cities do their
own thing and that's good for everybody. You don't convince another
city by making them completely dependent on your rivers: people dig
their own canal instead.

I guess this is also how to organize a summit together: coexist, have
friendly peaceful competition -- Henry A. Wallace, the way to peace -
new deal.

Kind regards,

Philip
