Another question for Jeff.

It seems to me that there has been an awful lot of misinformation about GNOME for a long time now. For example, people think GNOME Foundation was instrumental in getting Jody to contribute to OOXML, rather than being supportive, and that general GNOME policy is to embrace Mono and OOXML. To the extent that any open source project can dictate to contributors what they work on, the idea is pretty far-fetched, but it seems to stick to GNOME.

What is GNOME doing wrong to get this kind of unfair criticism, and how can GNOME better engage the wider open source community so that misunderstandings like this don't reoccur in the future?
