Right now we've been reasonably 'heads-down' on building the seven rc and getting prepared for when 7 lands, but I haven't heard anything more from the folks who proposed the sig. We have been in contact with the EPEL folks to stuff in there. Currently epel has both mate and cinnamon, and may pick up more once 7 goes gold.My apologies. I have been head down in my own work and let this get away. What do people want to hear on this and want to see? My starting issue was to get a conversation started and see who was interested in what desktops and such without it being a one guy SIG. Â -- Stephen J Smoogen.
I'm interested in having a Mate desktop (in the absence of Gnome 2). I figured if I volunteered to help in some way it would be more likely than if I just whined. :)
So, I've been writing C for many years, usually in a Unix/Linux environment, but I've never done any GUI programming, and not much low-level stuff. I don't have any experience creating RPMs from scratch, for example. there's a long list of things I don't know. But if all else fails, I can assist with documentation, or bug triage, or such stuff.
