GNOME 3.0 Is Coming, And Coming Soon!

"The K Desktop Environment community came out earlier this year with their brand new KDE 4.0 release that marked significant advancements to this open-source desktop environment compared to its KDE 3.5.x code-base. Meanwhile, the GNOME community has been living in a 2.0 cycle for quite some time with no signs of a major overhaul, but their six-month release cycles just continue to deliver new refinements and minor improvements. The plans for GNOME 3.0 just put this release out when there is significant API/ABI breakage to GNOME 2.0 / GTK+ or a major rewrite. Well, in addition to announcing Stormy Peters joining GNOME, at GUADEC 2008 they have just announced plans for GNOME 3.0...!"

openSUSE 11.0: Handles Server Duty Well

OpenSUSE 11.0 does a great job on the desktop, but it shines equally as bright in the server role. Everything you need to set up most any type of server comes on the OpenSUSE 11.0 installation DVD. The trick is narrowing down the options to the ones you'll really need. While you could have a single 'do everything' box, you might want to consider separating out some of the functionality for security and reliability reasons.

KDE vs. GNOME: A Screed from a Supposed Corporate Flack

"Ok, so you know that currently SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) 10 defaults to GNOME as the desktop, a move that garnered comments from a few cranky folks in the KDE [KC]amp. This move is more easily understood when you realize that most corporations really needed to have a default, that way they didn't have to stall their testing to make a decision about what Linux Desktop standard they would support. openSUSE 11.0 doesn't force such a choice, you have several options, none is selected by default, it's like being in line at Starbucks and having to decide if you want a twist of lemon in your half-caf, double-decaf..."

Canary Islands to host 2009 KDE-GNOME joint desktop meeting

In past years, KDE and GNOME have each had one major annual conference, Akademy and GUADEC, respectively. While these conferences are not run in exactly the same way, the KDE e.V. and the GNOME Foundation boards solicited proposals to host a joint conference for 2009. This new conference will encompass both Akademy and GUADEC to encourage cross-desktop communication and development. Three good proposals were received, and after some consideration by the membership and boards of their respective non-profit councils, the Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain proposal was selected and will be known as the Gran Canaria Desktop Meeting. The event will occur in the first week of July, 2009.

Details are short at the moment, but the Gnome team seems to be following in KDE's footsteps, but hopefully will avoid the problems that plagued KDE 4.0's release."
