Workspace Next Sprint Organization

[Björn Balazs]

Hi all,

there have been some doubts about technical issues that could come along with 
creating the "vision"...

So I thought, I might just write down some thoughts of what I think a good 
vision is about. To start with here is a vision I think is a good one:

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before 
this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to 
the Earth." (John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961)

- The vision gives a clear goal (benefit) that helps to unify all people 
involved into making it become real
- It is commonly understandable and does not provide technical solutions
- leaves enough room for creativity
- helps to provide criteria so that different people in similar situations 
will likely come to the similar decission
- is short and hence present to everyone involved into the process

Do want another good one? Ok, here we go:

"The iPod will be a portable digital music player that will hold 5000 songs. 
It will have a battery life measured in days, not hours. You will navigate the 
thousands of songs with a single finger. You will sync all your music from 
your computer to the iPod in minutes automatically, so you can have all your 
music in your pocket." (said to be formulated by Steve Jobs end of the 1990ies 
- might be an urban myth though...)


These are examples of what I think we should try to achieve for KDE. So I 
think even though there will be massive implications with technical issues, 
this will not be the topic of the meeting.

What do you think? Do you agree with the outlined criteria for a good vision?

Cheers,
Björn
