Hi,

My name is Fabrice i am the head of the Vanillux project.

With *Mark* *Shuttleworth going against gnome 3 there has been a strong
feeling in the industry about that choice and Ubuntu has lost its CTO as
well as head of Cloud computing and a few others. Also in the past year
Ubuntu has been to hastly on shipping updates with too many bugs and
unstable distribution updates.*
*
*
*For these reason we have decided to make a new distribution based on those
next few point among others:*

   - We are free and staying free ($$)
   - We are using apt we love it!
   - We are a rolling release, no more forced 6 months schedule and
   reinstalls, features come as they are ready!
   - We love gnome3, our basic desktop will be gnome3
   - We are neither a Debian or Ubuntu fork, we only use apt!!!!
   - We are a not-for-profit and love FOSS!!!!
   - We have a direction and can take decisions, we have 3 head with 1 vote
   each if a veto is required after a user vote
   - We are always going to try to send the packages unmodified from the
   coders (no re-branding!)
   - We have no version but 4 branches stable testing unstable and
   experimental

So this email is only to inform you there is a cell to the
interested volunteers, also we would like to work with the Gnome team in
this since it only makes sense :). I am also sending this email to the
Ubuntu Gnome Remix team, while we dont fully agree on the direction to take
i believe we could either merge our projects or work together for the better
good. If not i can still help you guys since i know the owner of
gubuntu.organd he is open to sell.

The team behind Vanillux is made of old and young, with experience in of
course Operating systems, Telecomunications, Decentralised computing and
Cloud computing and are ready to take this project to its full extent.

So for those interested in participating please contact us trough
vanillux.org and we welcome your input.
