It's the same team as organised GUADEC in Dublin a few years ago.

Gnome is evil. KDE is not evil.
Both Gnome and KDE are not bad.
It is not the same team.
Why not team up?

Oddly enough, I'll agree. It was begun primarily, instead of a way to help get KDE legal, to replace KDE with a nearly completely incompatible desktop. Nowadays its primary purpose seems to be the proprietary-software-friendly desktop. Another wrinkle is the attention and excitement paid to Mono, which may or may not have legal problems, depending on who you ask. And unlike KDE, the GNOME project doesn't seem to want to play nice. With anyone.

I admire GNOME for their work on usability and for much of their work in becoming friendly in other areas, but big jeers for not playing nice and for all the code duplication.

Although I have been told that Dr. Mads Haar (a Trinity lecturer) has once again done great work to help make things happen.
