@jldugger – Gnote pushes Tomboy to get more features and faster startup / performance, and Tomboy pushes Gnote to be feature complete when this happens, causing both to be better.

Not to mention at the same time, everytime Gnote has a significant performance advantage, this will be complained about on mailing lists etc, mono devs will hear about it, and try and resolve the issue, helping that project also.

Just what is your point about Gnote vs Tomboy. They literally do the exact same thing.

I agree with Olivier
ConnMan presentation was too much about why Network Manager is not good. If it’s just common to create alternative, why should you have to criticize the other solutions like that. Just explain why your software is good, and that’s it.

Nothing against healthy competition, if it happens on technical level. But IMO the ConnMan slides were way too aggressive towards NM, instead of just presenting ConnMans features and leaving it to the viewers to decide.

@bags – Yes I have read that, and that really changes nothing. There are some great technical points made, but it does nothing to dispute the claim I make that in the open source world, multiple projects trying to achieve the same goal is not only common place, but healthy.

uhm, given your boldness i assumed above post was just a teaser into a more in-depth explanation of why ‘they’, ‘have absolutely no grasp of how things work’.

have you read http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/06/25/networkmanager-and-connman/ ?

Agreed…

But who wants to give something as important as their connection to a ConnMan?
