So I was thinking about the #gnome logo. Perhaps it's a simplified representation of a human footprint. What might it mean then? How about: "An independent computing platform built for humans, not shareholders" Reinterpreted that way, maybe we can start to find its connection to the community. And that's the important thing to preserve in a rebrand Maybe a new brand will be less quirky, but I don't think we've lost anything if it's more serious about the mission that drives the GNOME community
Time to make it official! I want to turn #GNOME OS, GNOME's home-grown distro for testing and development of the GNOME Desktop, into a real production-ready general purpose OS. I finally blogged about it:
Fedi moderation idea: UEFI Secure Boot. We have a big circle of trust. We switch from denylists of known bad servers to allowlists of known good ones. You can join the trusted network if some existing member vouches for your instance, and the network effect takes over. Participation requirements include moderation, failure to moderate = removed from the allowlist. List is centralized but maintained by consortium of sufficiently big instances.
