2020. Gentoo discovers that people usually don't run LDAP on their |
| 14 |
desktops. Some developers can't believe their eyes! Gentoo forms |
| 15 |
a Working Group to establish whether using LDAP on desktops is really |
| 16 |
that uncommon. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
This fits nicely with the recently announced fact that Gentoo Foundation |
| 19 |
has too much money and is looking for funding requests. After all, what |
| 20 |
could be a better use of Gentoo money than funding the work of a Working |
| 21 |
Group trying to establish matters of such great importance as default |
| 22 |
USE flags on desktop profiles. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
After a lot of debate the Working Group concludes that there is no |
| 25 |
conclusive answer whether LDAP should be enabled by default or not. |
