Act TwoWhat about GNOME?
“Successful platforms allowed developers to reach a huge user base”
“cannot afford to have developers spend weeks before apps can be deployed”
“complete story for developers”
“modern development toolsmonolithic application delivery format
federated GNOME application market”
GNOME’s next place in the industry
Opinionated

What is the public perception of the platform?
How easy is it to get at the tools?
How easy is it to get up and running?

GUADEC Challenge:Find the SDK
A glooming peace this morning with it brings;The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:For never was a story of more woeThan this of Qt and her GNOME.
Thank you!
