Submitted by sbutle on Fri, 2003-03-21 06:45. FreeDesktop.org

PCLinuxOnline is reporting that Keith Parkard wants to fork the XFree86 effort and has subsequently been removed from the XFree86 core team. The issue in general. and if GNOME should send out a statement supporting Keith, is currently being discussed by various GNOME community members on the GNOME Foundation mailing list. The issue is also being discussed on slashdot.

He is the only one whos related to every developed DE aproach to something... k'mon IMHO he is the only one I have to(left) reach at XFree...until now. He is the one related to Xrandr, FontConfig & Xft2...he is doing things I do really want, I do really care, r really usefull! (not execrating others X developers...thx by the way, anyone just loves to have an X enviroment), but for god's sake, if he is the one who is doing things for "US" end users and "WE" really apreatiate him..."LISTEN TO HIM"...he is more involved at the end user "thingy" than anyone else!...is we that care...the ones that uses "X"..(by the way de una manera agradecida!), im no one to talk 'bout XFree86 but is people like me that uses it!...I DONT CARE IF IT IS UNSTABLE....IF IT WILL HELP ME OR FIX MY PROBLEM!!! I'm using GNU software, proud of it helping if i can, taking the risks it involves but I FELL PART OF IT!
