GNOME and Novell: The FUD Stops Here

,----[ Quote ]
| Interestingly, Miguel was actually the President of the GNOME Foundation 
| until only a few weeks ago, but we have been asking him for years to send a 
| resignation letter, and recently nailed down a plan to finally get his 
| resignation and appoint the President and Vice-President from the directors. 
| As of the last Foundation Board meeting, that process is complete.    
| 
| It’s important to point out that during this time, the Foundation Chairman 
| was capably performing the role of President, and Miguel was not 
| participating or interacting in GNOME Foundation activities or administration 
| at all.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| I sat down with Nat Friedman at GUADEC in order to talk about a few things 
| that were on my mind regarding Novell and GNOME. I had a very clear 
| three-point agenda that I wanted to go through:  
| 
|    1. The relationship and agreement with Microsoft.
|    2. Novell’s approach to feature development and ‘code dumping’.
|    3. GNOME and Mono.
| 
| We didn’t end up talking about the first two points, because Nat was 
| extremely focused on the Mono issue, and whichever way I tried to lead him 
| through my thought narrative, it would quickly come back to Mono.

Miguel believes OOXML is a "superb standard".
