  Re: KDE Gimp GUI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Havoc Pennington is not Gimp maintainer, so what he says about the future of gimp should not be taken very seriously (by the way, I have not find such a post on the gnome-dev list, could you give me an exact URL).
Havoc is not a KDE developer so what he says about KDE development should not be taken very seriously.
I have written that Havoc Pennington is not a gimp maintainer, which is quite some difference between Night and Day.

  The other side of the desktop
Havoc Pennington gave the opening address, a worthwhile ramble through the issues inherent in the task on which we're engaged: creating a desktop platform.
Havoc also raised the issue of diverging options for the free desktop world: either to emulate Windows, or build something alternate on its own terms.
Havoc talked a lot about freedesktop.org, and it gave me a much better sense of what it is. Freedesktop.org and X.org are building a substrate for desktop platforms.

Havoc has been looking at a replacement for CVS, and found many alternatives.
Conflicts do arise when incompatible changes have been made, and the normal behavior is to mark conflicts in the file, and let the user manually decide and record a new patch resolving the conflict.

Havoc works for Red Hat, he is heading the desktop team, while he is well known also for his major contributions to GNOME, his GTK+ programming book, plus the freedesktop.org initiative which aims to standardize the X11 desktop environments.

But narrow minded GNOME elites such as Havoc Pennington were responsible that he left the GNOME project -- the trouble and the pressure that was put on him was to much.
Havoc started freedesktop.org but there are many people who take part in the standards that they create.
Havoc by himself is in no position to force anything to become a standard, he needs other people to help him.

 Jesse Ezell Blog : The Linux Mucky Mucks are Crapping Their Pants
Rick Kitts points to this amazing article by Havoc Pennington (a big GNOME hot shot who works for Red Hat).
This is an essay by Havoc Pennington of GNOME about how open-source efforts eventually have to move beyond low-level languages into higher-level constructs.
If Havoc is to be taken at face value, the vagueness and the lack of direction in the open source desktop community are certainly issues of concern but I'd be more sympathetic if they focused their message on "choice" rather than "beating Microsoft"...

Although this hasn't changed, Havoc's proposal advocates using Java within the limits of what's supported by the GNU Classpath project.

Mosfet has a rebuttal of Havoc Pennington's Free software UI article.
For example Mosfet says it's important not to discount features and "snazzy graphics", but Havoc never once made any such suggestion - it is the over-reliance that is the problem.
He purposefully mis-interprets Havoc's re-working of mpt's points and then attempts to prove that KDE hasn't fallen prey to them.

 Making crypto user friendly
This post from Havoc Pennington contains some interesting musings on what it would take to make crypto with PGP or GPG user-friendly.
It's more than a nice GUI around the existing tools, says Havoc, it's that it needs to be more task-centered.
I'm quite a keen user of PGP encryption, but it took me a long time to understand the concepts involved, and my use of it is still limited by the relative lack of integration of the current toolset.

OSNews published an interview with Havoc Pennington, the head manager of Red Hat's Desktop department, also known for his freedesktop.org initiative and his very active/leading role in Gnome.
Havoc discusses the internal changes on Red Hat, the future of the desktop version of Red Hat Linux, the XFree86 fork Xoutert, GTK+ and Gnome while he characteristically says regarding Linux eating UNIX's marketshare: "...nails are firmly in the UNIX coffin, and it's just a matter of time."

I approached Havoc Pennington who kindly agreed to let me use the name Inti, originally a set of C++ foundation libraries written by him but no longer in active development.

Unfortunately Havoc had commitments to several other projects, including the development of GTK+ itself, and was unable to continue developing Inti.

If you think about an example like the "Blah blah blah blah - Havoc" images earlier, the idea is to display all of "Havoc" first, and then as much of "Blah blah blah blah" as possible.
A side benefit is that it's easy to interoperate with remote DAV shares, either exporting a vfs share as DAV or mounting a DAV share with the vfs, and there's no loss of information or semantic mismatch when doing this.

The project itself lives on, as do a number of others that might one day take its place.
Havoc Pennington, the GTK/Gnome guru now involved with freedesktop.org, told NewsForge, "It isn't obvious what the way forward is." He added, "On freedesktop.org we host several X projects." Pennington noted that the projects are not endorsed by Freedesktop.org, merely hosted by them.
Cool guy, but I hope that he would take the XFree86 project under Red Hat and put Mike Harris to work on it, pinching code from Keith Packard's 3D/transparency stuff.
