Mark Shuttleworth covers the GNOME
usability hackfest. “The GNOME user experience hackfest in
Boston was a great way to spend the worst week in Wall St history! Though
there wasn’t a lot of hacking, there was a LOT of discussion, and we
covered a lot of ground. There were at least 7 Canonical folks there, so it
was a bit of a mini-sprint and a nice opportunity to meet the team at the
same time. We had great participation from a number of organisations and
free spirits, there’s a widespread desire to see GNOME stay on the
forefront of usability.”
