Hello fvwmers,

I'm writing an article for the Linux Magazine about fvwm. Given the
rise of GNOME3 and Unity, there seems to be a trend of people turning
away from their desktop environments for simpler solutions. I've been
using fvwm for many years and thought that since there's been a stable
release of fvwm recently, would be a wonderful time to put fvwm in the
limelight.

So might I ask anyone who has suggestions or knows of who I might be
able to interview via email, to let me know? It can be devs and users
alike with opinions. If there are any devs though, that would be
handy to get first-hand info. about where fvwm is going.

TIA, and I welcome people's feedback!

Harry

You can get his address from this mailing list archive.

He also has a G+ account (sorry Thomas).

If you will be collecting Average Joe User's opinions as well, you can ask
me a couple of questions via email.

I rarely give interviews so I'll decline, thanks. Other people can speak
instead.

Can your recent G+ post be quoted? It seems to be on-topic.

With attribution, yes.

Hello fvwmers,
I'm writing an article for the Linux Magazine about fvwm. Given the
rise of GNOME3 and Unity, there seems to be a trend of people turning
away from their desktop environments for simpler solutions.  I've been
using fvwm for many years and thought that since there's been a stable
release of fvwm recently, would be a wonderful time to put fvwm in the
limelight.
I wanted to let people know that this hasn't been abandoned! Thanks to
everyone who has sent me through their thoughts. I know I won't have
responded to everyone individually but I am taking all the information
given under consideration and will update the list with further
developments!

Harry
