    Posté par . En réponse au journal GNOME 4.0 et GNOME OS prévus pour 2014 : abandon du pc, (même si on en était pas loin avec Gnome3). Évalué à 6.

    Je viens de voir les slides, et il n'est marqué nul part que Gnome abandonne le Desktop.
    Un lien vers la vidéo de la conf pour voir ce qui a été dit?

    Concernant Gnome OS, je citerais une interview récente d'Allan Day:

    There’s a lot of confusion around GNOME OS. People assume that it means that GNOME will be launching its own distribution, but that’s not what GNOME OS is about.

    GNOME OS is important for us as a project. The first thing that we’re doing for GNOME OS is working to produce a fully testable GNOME OS development build. This will let developers, designers and testers run the latest GNOME code against specific versions of other upstream compoents. This will be a massive improvement on what we have already, and will mean that GNOME is are able to produce much higher quality releases in the future.

    The other thing that is happening for GNOME OS is that we are extending the GNOME 3 experience into new areas. Some important parts of the overall user experience GNOME have been traditionally missing, and that has left distributions with the task of filling in the blanks. The problem with that is that it leads to a very inconsistent experience.

    GNOME OS is about providing a complete, coherent and consistent experience, so that a whole OS can be given that GNOME look and feel. One example of the work we are doing for that is the new initial setup assistant which is being created for GNOME 3.6. It will always be up to distributions whether they take advantage of these new elements to the GNOME 3 experience, of course. What it means, however, is that GNOME will be offering a more complete package than ever before.

    Pour les non anglophones, et en résumé: Gnome OS sera, de un, un environnement complet et cohérent pour les développeurs ainsi que, de deux, un ensemble d'outils permettant aux distributions de créé un OS complet et cohérent. C'est à dire que le projet gnome va fournir des outils d'installation et de configuration d'OS ainsi qu'un environnement de développement complet, mais pas leur distribution grand public à la Ubuntu.
