Thanks for clarifying things for me.

As I said in the post, it was based on how I have percieved the Foundation from the little I have heard of it.

I was not out to shake a fist at anyone but to explain that from my point of view there was a big difference between the Foundation and the League.

Anyways, my point (even if I failed to get it through) is that an active PR organization is good for KDE no matter who is running it as long as it stays just that, a PR organization. Seeing that a few huge companies are willing to spend time and money on helping and supporting a non-profit development project will hopefully tip the scales for those small/mid and large sized companies who is deciding if they should stick with just Windows or port thier product to Linux.

It isn't like it is a competition between Gnome and KDE, we have like 90% or so market shares to Konquer from Gates if we have to compete with anyone.

If anyone took offense at my post, I am sorry.

Hi Fredrik,

No offense. It's just that I too have seen many stories misrepresenting what the GNOME Foundation is. In a way it's understandable given the hooply that was created by Sun etc. But since I've done a lot of work coordinating the Foundation, and I've spent a lot of time working to keep control with the hackers, I wanted to set the record straight.

I agree that we need to find more ways to work together and focus on converting the rest of the world to free desktops.

Also, I figure this is as good a place as any to start clearing up the miscommunications between the two projects so we can better work together in the future.
