http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2011/03/11/lessons-learned/

is also a good read. The summary is

FreeDesktop.org is broken as a standards body
Mark Shuttleworth doesn’t understand how GNOME works
GNOME is not easy to understand
Deep mistrust has developed between Canonical, GNOME & KDE
Difficult people are prominent in each of these projects
Behind closed doors conversations are poison
For people to work together, they need to be in the same place
