Hey there 👋 I think it'd be fantastic if GNOME and**Motivation**
It's always great when sibling open source projects foster common activties for shared goals. GNOME and KDE have a long history in cooperating in the Open Source scenario and I personally think that it'd be great if we could have more communiction and shared activties.
**Plan**
Foster a timeline of activties that both communities can co-organise together and a set of goals for improving the outreach and awareness of both communities.
**Community**
This task doesn't involve any immediate tasks, but more, a communication plan with the KDE e.V. Community/Engagement Team to share ideas and help each project mutually to improve their outreach. From sharing experiences, ideas, sharing publications (social medias), share feedbacks from userbases and share conversations regarding feature requests and things that would make sense for both projects to foster. Not to mention the opportunities of shared attendance for events and organisation of community activties that benefit both projects.
**Risks and needs**
As any inter-project long-term plan, it requires both communities to respect and help each other and requires a long-term commitment. It is true that KDE and GNOME have different visions for their respective DE's but they share one FOSS philosophy. There's always the risk of this idea not working out.
**Champion**
I'm Claudio, I contribute to the Engagement Team of the GNOME project. I mostly manage social medias and do some website development and mentoring for the project. I also maintain some Foundation-led initiatives and contribute to Engagement Team's Core mission and activities.
For me this idea would be an incredible benefit for both communities and also reduce the feel that both projects are competing each-other and empower both communities to work as united. There's no KDE vs GNOME or whose DE is better, just two different DE's with different philosophies and envisions for their design and operability, tightened and connected by one big goal, further reach out the FOSS statement and make people love Linux and demonstrate the power of Open Source. could have more shared activities and initiatives together (From Community Efforts(Okay this sentence is quite dramatic, Events and morebut it works).
FOSDEM is already great, let's make more stuff together 😄
It's not about GNOME vs KDE, but two projects with different visions of very similar goals. a truly great desktop experience :)**Interest**
