Random ramblings about some random stuff, and things; but more stuff than things -- all in a mesmerizing and kaleidoscopic soapbox-like flow of words.9/08/2004
While reading Murray comments on the next GNOME 2.8 release:

I can't more than insist of the big difference that it is for the Open Source community to switch to the time-based release cycles.
We have the great examples of GNOME, Fedora and others, that, IMHO, _because of_ the time-based release cycles, are kicking asses to other stuff at the same level. I think that even MacOSX 10.3 (Tiger) can be worried about the new FC3 on the desktop level.
On the other side, I was in the latest UPC Free Software Metting in Manresa, and Martin Michlmayr (unofficially) annonced that the Debian community would switch to time-based releases any time soon (after Sarge?).
If they do, Debian is going to be great (again).
So if I'm asked about it: time-based releases should be a MUST in any FOSS piece of software.
