GNOME & Mono Made Love At Microsoft Last Week

[dequire]

Gnome continues it's depressing demise by going from sleeping with the below average-looking girlfriend to taking it to the next step and moving in with her. Can anyone blame Canonical and Mint from moving away from Gnome? Ahhh I feel even more love for KDE and Qt now

GNOME & Mono Made Love At Microsoft Last Week

Ick. Now I gotta take a shower!

Ick. Now I gotta take a shower!

I already did...twice

[HalationEffect]

It's all becoming clear now... GNOME's user-unfriendliness and the arrogance and hostility of the GNOME devs is the result of a cunning Microsoft plot to torpedo the Linux desktop! They need a DE they can point to as being even more universally disliked than Metro.

Time to update my subscription to Conspiracy Theory Monthly! Now, where did I put that tinfoil hat...?

Here is the agenda of that meeting:

Agenda and goals

• Implement Tomboy library.
• Improve/implement GTK#3 and additional GNOME# bindings.
• Banshee porting to GNOME3.
• Pinta general application improvements.
• F-Spot general application improvements.
• Implement Plastic SCM extension for MonoDevelop.
  
• Debate the future of GTK#. GTK#3 lacks a full time maintainer, GObject-Introspection deemed insufficient for creating .NET APIs. What do we do about it?
• Integrate changes to bockbuild for Banshee builds on Linux, Windows and OS X upstream.

Some actions on Tomboy, Banshee, Pinta, F-Spot and Plastic SCM for MonoDevelop?

Wow, talk about re-arranging the chairs on a sinking ship when the bow is already under water.

Seems to be a move out of desperation to me.
