Re: Lets start rocking - idea of spawning ubuntu gaming distro?

 

Team,

It appears as though the first step is to define exactly what this
group's intentions are.  As already pointed out, and as clearly stated
on the Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GamingTeam

-------------------------------------------------------
The Gaming Team strives to promote Ubuntu through FOSS games and FOSS
games through Ubuntu. 

Our objectives are: 

      * Address barriers to the development of FOSS Games 
      * Connect FOSS gamers on Ubuntu 
      * Promote FOSS gaming on Ubuntu 
      * Connect LoCo's involved with FOSS gaming 
      * Help organize gaming events 
-------------------------------------------------------

I would have to agree with those that have already mentioned, that
promoting WINE for the use of commercial gaming, does not coincide with
the above objectives.  If there is a desire to promote "complete
gaming", meaning non-FOSS games, then we need to decide to either 1.)
change the objectives or 2.) create a different group.  I honestly don't
see how any progress can be made until this is clearly defined.

Thoughts?
