Oh dear who would think that the GNOME Census (not the garden variety) would erupt into a flame between senior Linux people, here&#39;s the report.<br><br><a href="http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/GNOME-Census-Who-writes-GNOME-1048613.html">http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/GNOME-Census-Who-writes-GNOME-1048613.html</a><br>
<br>The guy who struck the match? It was Greg DeKoenigsberg, a former Fedora Project Leader &amp; Red Hat Community Architect from Toronto, now CTO of the Institute for Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) in California. He thought that he could talk frankly on his blog now that he doesn&#39;t work for Red Hat any more. Has the Californian sun got to him or was it the beer? How stupid!!<br>

<br>You expect to see these kind of arguments on forums and mailing lists, but in blogs of people that should know better. Anyway I prefer KDE :-)<br><br>Gordon<br><br> <br>
