Plans for "Gnome-system operation" specified

Allan Day has a blog entry some background as well as concrete plans for the "Gnome OS" posted above concept. The Gnome developers reported here results from planning meetings that took place recently at the Gnome developers conference Guadec 2012, on the even older slogan caused a stir for.

Day has clearly pointed out above, Gnome OS is by no means an attempt to replace Linux distributions, a stand-alone "GNOME OS install" is indeed part of the plans, but intended primarily as a platform for testing and developing. Rather, the project aims at the Gnome OS buzzword in the next 18 months to implement a number of improvements, which are partially are near to old ideas.

Let there be improvements for development and deployment of applications to make their software programmers do not always have to adapt to constantly changing environmental conditions. In the train Day speaks of an application framework, for it was as part of Gnome OS SDK also being considered. As a third point speaks to the Gnome developers on improvements that will improve the translation and testing of software, from which it is composed Gnome. Day plans to talk further optimizations for the Gnome interface to (UX Core / Core User Experience) at. This includes the development of further applications along the lines of Documents or photographs, which are to improve, among other things, the handling of data that are either local or online store. As the last main point is called the Gnome developers optimizations for devices with touch screens and announced GNOME 3 should in no later than 18 months to be fit for touch-screen, Gnome is to remain focused primarily on notebooks and desktop continue.

At the end of the blog entry Day some of his thoughts divided on the question of what an OS (Operating System / OS) is, for doing it is just the kernel, for him, but the environment that we ask users and developers ("user experience "and" application developer experience "). There are two halves of a whole, therefore, called the Gnome developers their current projects as Gnome OS. He also explained some of the goals were ambitious and would not be implemented, some are not so unrealistic as they seem
