Debian and the GNOME advisory board meeting

Hi Gnome/GTK developers,

Apologies for not sending this out sooner. As you know, Debian has a
seat on the Gnome Advisory Board which is due to meet soon. Not much is
officially-officially expected of Debian in this capacity, but I would
obviously like to raise any longer-term, roadmap or philosophy-oriented
issues in order to help you folks.

Previous issues that have been raised include getting some downstream
branding guidelines as well as syncing schedules as best as possible to
fit the distributions that have an "LTS" or release schedule that is
roughly equivalent at least in terms of the time between releases, ie.
Debian.

(Specific and/or entirely-technical issues on the upstream bug tracker
naturally would not be entirely appropriate unless you think I could
help unblock them, of course.)

So, yes, one provocative way of phrasing it might be... what sucks for
you or our users about being downstream from Gnome or GTK right now?
What is good..?

Thank you very much for your input.


Best wishes,
