GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 680896
reopening gnome-os-list
Last modified: 2012-08-08 09:45:01 UTC
During the GNOME OS BoF session at GUADEC we settled on using the gnome-os list for further discussions but then we noticed it had been closed. Could you reopen it? I don't know what was the previous list description, could it be set to "List to discuss and plan midterm goals of GNOME"? Alternatively it could also be a new list (maybe "gnome-future"). Thanks.
Why not have development discussions on e.g. d-d-l? It is hardly used. Creating new lists just splits the community IMO. I find a future list a bit vague. What will happen in ~5 years?

As Allan suggests we felt it would be useful to have a place where we can have initial discussions about topics related to some medium term goals that affect various parts of GNOME before they are presented to all the community in d-d-l, the planet, or other forums. > > I find a future list a bit vague.

Can we get this settled soon ? I'd like to start discussing the outcomes of last Mondays BoF on this list before it fades to far back into everybody's memory
List created, please adjust its description. [1] [1] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-future
fwiw I proposed "List to discuss and plan midterm goals of GNOME" in the initial comment.
(In reply to comment #5) > List created, please adjust its description. [1] > > [1] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-future The consensus in the BoF was that we'd like to reopen the 'gnome-os' list, moving away the old archives if they are still around. If this is technically possible we'd very much prefer to go that way.
I really don't think this list name reflects the consensus we reached. I think calling it -future lacks proper focus. I think we want this list to be a place where we can work together to achieve well defined goals. Not a place to wax on the future of GNOME. That is best done on personal blogs.
I talked with Olav and is going to look at this tomorrow. Reopening as he requested
killed gnome-future, created gnome-os-list, password to fpeters
FYI: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-os-list https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-os/ doesn't link to the right place though.
