> maybe the time is ripe for us to strenghten our positions in the server and desktop markets?

I always thought GNOME was a desktop system.

Not sure how they plan to take that desktop system and target it as a server platform?




There may be a market for Apple-like Linux server admin tools. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/07/the-server-simplified-a...


But will people pay for these?


Of course, I meant "market" in the Linux sense. People won't pay for any of this GNOME stuff.


With Midgard we've been using some GNOME libraries like D-Bus and libgda on servers for years. And this will bring the whole set of GNOME libraries to Node.js: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/node-gir/


Well, they do cover things like video conferencing, which may have a back-end component.
