Для Ъ:

Dear Gnome,

Please, have some empathy and help me out.

Because of you, my boyfriend is chronically attached to his computer and has
ceased to pay attention to me. I try to plan fun things for us to do on the
weekends and then he cancels on my because of GNOME conferences! He even went
to the Netherlands to GUADEC two weeks ago and left me at home alone for a
week! He keeps going to all these conferences and I just don't know what to
do. Apparently there is some Boston Summit thing he keeps talking about?

Way back when, he used to talk about Linux every once in a while and I found it
nerdy and cute. However, as of late, his obsession has become a large dark
gloomy cloud on our relationship. Even when we are away from our apartment, he
is perpetually attached via his MAEMO Linux phone.

He even tried to put Linux on my computer and I simply could not take it. I
came home from work one day and my computer said «UNIX» all over it! Recently,
he installed Linux on his mom's computer and now she is calling me complaining
and I don't know what to do!

Please, help me bring my boyfriend back from «Linux Land.» His name is Zach.
If you find him, you may have to shut off the computer you find him in front of
to get him to speak in anything other than «C.» Sometimes he will speak to you
in French, but thats only because he has his phone in French. I don't speak
French so this too has become a wedge in our relationship.

This is a severe issue. Please fix this.

Desperately,

Ilana

Hi Ilana,

My girlfriend was able to reproduce the exact same symptoms but, now, the bug
cannot be reproduced, meaning the fix is probably in TRUNK.
To apply the fix, follow that procedure :
1) Decide together of one Linux week. During this week, you will accept
«changing your virtual life». He will accept to answer patiently all your
questions.
2) Let him install an easy end-user oriented Linux (not Slackware or Gentoo) at
the beginning of the week. I recommand Ubuntu for such case because it's highly
popular, with a lot of forums dedicated to newcomers.
3) Now, live that life for one week. It will be hard for both because you will
sometimes be lost and he will be sometimes annoyed by what he might consider as
«basic questions». Hold on !
4) After that week, you will probably me a lot more confident with using Linux.
At that point, ask him what he's developping in GNOME and propose him to become
a beta-tester. You already have a Bugzilla account, so it's great.
5) Now, make the following deal : for each bug you report, he has to spend one
night with you without the computer.
Applying until step 3 might be enough. 4 and 5 are only for harder case.

Love it! Brilliant! I think this needs to be changed from bug, to feature. :)

Use empathy to talk to him?

Join the gnome-women-list@gnome.org, learn GNOME and join it, become a famous
member, then your boyfriend will be your adorer, or kick out your boyfriend in
GNOME. :D

WONTFIX: with current boyfriend its hardly possible, perhaps replacing him will do.

I think the thing to do is make Ilana the maintainer of whatever module(s) Zach
is most focused upon. Zach would be forced to pay attention to her then, and it
would improve the current, male-dominated, maintainership situation we
currently have in GNOME.

вот хорошее предложение)

Мне бы ее проблемы, чесслово.

Думаю, что хотя я и макосевод, но с девушкой-линуксоидшей нашел бы общий язык.

И, да, девушек надо брать с собой на конференции.
