20 years of Linux on the Desktop (part 4)


20 years of Linux on the Desktop (part 4) par Ploum - Lionel Dricot.

The fragmentation of the Ubuntu/GNOME communities became all too apparent when, in 2010, Mark Shuttleworth announced during the Ubuntu-summit that Ubuntu would drop GNOME in favour of its own in-house and secretly developed desktop: Unity. This was important news to me because, at 2010’s GUADEC (GNOME’s annual conference) in Then Hague, I had met a small tribe of free software hackers called Lanedo. I’m looking for an agent or a publisher interested to work with me on this book and on an English translation of "Bikepunk", my new post-apocalyptic-cyclist typewritten novel which sold out in three weeks in France and Belgium.
