I’m your host Nick and this is the show where we discuss everything related to Linux, open source, the open web, privacy and everything around those spaces. So in today’s episode we have GNOME or at least the GNOME Foundation announcing a five year plan to get more funding, to get more people on board, to get more users for GNOME. We have Windows and Microsoft announcing a new feature called Recall which looks like a privacy and security nightmare. We have Qualcomm potentially beating Apple’s latest chip in their own ARM CPUs which have full mainstream Linux support or at least they are working on that full mainstream support. We have the first inklings of AI legislation passed in the EU. We have some news about Ubuntu and some problems they might start having with GNOME. We have some big progress on Plasma and a bunch of other things. So as always if you want to learn more about any of these topics all the links that I used are in the show notes and if you don’t really like waiting for the end of the week to get these news well you can also get them in daily format from Monday to Friday if you become a Patreon member the link is in the description of the show as well. So now let’s get started. So GNOME has published a first draft of their five year plan or at least the GNOME Foundation did that. They published it to get a bit of feedback from the community, from developers, from users and other interested parties who might ship or might want to ship GNOME or to even just fund the foundation. So they divided this plan into three big goals each having three separate objectives. So the first big goal is to have explosive growth of the community of what they call creators and users. I guess creators mean developers here, developers for GNOME but also for GNOME applications, maybe extensions and everything around GNOME. The three sub-objectives are first to unify the community around the shared vision. I think that’s something GNOME has kind of already did. They do have their own vision of what a desktop environment is. They have been pushing hard for this and yes some people did not like this vision but at least the community around GNOME right now is focused on the same goals and it seems to be working for app developers at least because they have the biggest and best ecosystem for third-party apps on any other desktop environment. The second sub-goal is to make GNOME relevant and attractive to more diverse people and probably this means accessibility, making GNOME something that everyone can use no matter if they are fully able, if they have disabilities, no matter what everyone should be able to use GNOME and they are already working on that with their new accessibility framework. And finally they also want to increase the commercial and economic value of GNOME. Now this one I don’t really know what that means. My mind instantly went to “oh no they want to make distro space to implement GNOME” but that’s really probably not what that is. It’s probably just to make the project a more desirable target for fundraising and for potential investors who would just drop money into the GNOME Foundation to support the GNOME project. So it’s probably more communication around what GNOME is doing and less trying to sell GNOME as a product. Now the second major goal is to create a unified and integrated suite of programs, services and processes. And this seems to encompass building more integrated technologies, so maybe having more GNOME APIs that can be taken advantage of by GNOME itself but also by GNOME applications. But it also seems to target how GNOME is organized. For example they want to reorganize their myriad of little events into a single annual event that can include more people at the same time. So presumably maybe livestreams and people being able to ask questions online and them being addressed, maybe taking more advantage of the current technologies to make a one big GNOME event instead of multiple little guadeks around the year and smaller other little development sprints. Not sure what exactly they mean around that but they do want to conflate all events into one. Finally the third big goal is to strengthen the GNOME Foundation as a non-profit. So presumably to make sure it is well funded and that it works reliably. There are objectives such as documenting their impact and their value, which is going to be absolutely mandatory if they want to showcase what they’ve done with the money they have received. They also want to double the annual expense but also the annual revenue budget of the foundation. So that just means get more money so we can spend it. And the final goal is prioritizing the health and well-being of the foundation. So probably not letting it run as it did in the past by just tapping in their treasury and not really trying to find new avenues for funding. All of this seems to just mean we need more budgets to do good things with GNOME so we need to find more money first and then we can spend it. All in all it is obviously not a plan for GNOME, the desktop environment. It’s not a development roadmap, a feature roadmap, it is a plan for its supporting fundraising and governance organism. And I think it makes sense as a bird’s eye view thing. To make that project work you need to find reliable sources of funding and then you can spend that money towards growing GNOME as a project, whether it’s in terms of having a bigger community, having more developers, having more features, having more resources, having more communication. This also requires making sure that first you have a big community, people that can be hired with that money to work on GNOME features. And to do that you need a strong vision, you need some big events to draw people in, you need some interesting technology people want to use and you need to document all of this for potential funding partners. It makes a lot of sense, the language here feels extremely corporate to me when reading this, but honestly that’s probably what people would expect from a non-profit like trying to find money, you need to appear like a company but not be a company and I think that’s what they did here. So obviously you can submit your feedback on that draft if you have remarks, just remember it is not feedback on GNOME the project, no one is asking you if you like GNOME, if you think GNOME likes certain features, that’s not what this draft is about, this is a plan for the foundation itself, it’s not a development roadmap, so don’t go around submitting feedback saying hey, we need this feature and minimize button needs to come back because that’s not what they’re looking for here. So there’s a button to submit feedback if you click on the link that I left in the show notes. Now we also got a few interesting details about the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and you might wonder what that thing is and why I’m even talking about this here, this is an ARM CPU made obviously by Qualcomm for laptops and initially it looked like it would be a partnership with Microsoft and it would only land in Surface laptops but it also looks like Qualcomm is upstreaming a lot of that support to the mainline Linux kernel, they already have the CPU support in place and they’re already upstreaming more and more parts of the entire system on a chip including how to handle the battery, the USB host, potential webcams plugged into it and everything in between. So this is a really cool CPU or system on a chip to follow if we’re a Linux user and we’re also looking to move to ARM or at least interested in ARM computing. And the benchmarks are really not bad for this chip as well because they seem to indicate it will more than compete with Apple’s latest computers. In Geekbench 6 they apparently beat the Apple M3 by a pretty solid margin, if I remember correctly, the M3 is like 8
