GNOME 3 Lunchtime Talk Sat, Mar 19. 2011


The participants in the GNOME documentation hackfest led a great lunchtime talk on Friday, introducing GNOME 3 to about two dozen Senecans.

GNOME 3 embodies a complete re-design of the desktop. Clutter has been replaced with discoverable behaviours, visual cues, and generally streamlined operation. It's a bold experiment that has already attracted some detractors, but it was fascinating and enlightening to hear the environment explained by members of the community that created it. I'm looking forward to using GNOME 3 in the upcoming release of Fedora 15.

There were many who expressed an interest in attending but were unable to do so. Here are a couple of links:

Many thanks to the GNOME documentation team for the talk.
