Considering that I have been writing daily posts basically without missing a day for around a year now, there is obviously a lot happening in the world of Linux and open-source software. The question is: what do you want to happen in this upcoming year? Last year I asked for reader’s Linux dreams, and received a great response, so this year I am doing it again.
If you don’t remember from last year, the idea is to see what people would like to see happen in the upcoming year (related to Linux, of course). The “dreams” do not have to be realistic, specific, general, or anything, although they can be. The only rule is that they must be something you would like to see happen to Linux in the next year. To get an idea for this, check our the most popular dreams from last year.
This year, though, I am also adding another component. Throughout the process, I may pick out specific dreams/ideas and ask for broad ideas of how this could be accomplished. If this all sounds complicated, it really isn’t that hard. Here is an example:
A commenter responds to this post says “I would like to see more netbooks running major LInux distributions, not lesser-known distributions.” I might then pick that wish out and put it into a new post, asking for suggestions of how this might happen. Another commenter might come along to this new post and suggest that every major distribution should contact one manufacturer and try to get on their netbooks.
For now all you have to do is leave a comment with whatever you would like to see happen to Linux in the next year, realistic or not. The deadline will be around the end of December and will be announced when we get closer.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
