Repositioning the KDE Brand
- jacquesm 17y agoI never really thought about KDE as a brand, more as a bunch of software that happen to implement a desktop, of which I use only the taskbar, the calculator and 'konsole'. The word 'community' is also not what's on my mind when I look at KDE, that is a very developer centric view of the world, to most people KDE really is a little 'k' logo on their taskbar and that's about it. All the rest of the application level stuff could disappear from my system tomorrow and I probably would not miss it. And I don't really care much about what it is called. Brands are a requirement for commercial software, open source doesn't really need brands. Imagine, GNU as a brand ? emacs ? gnome ? GCC ?
