<h1>About the GNOME Foundation</h1>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation is comprised of a number of bodies - the
Board of Directors, the Executive Director, the Advisory Board
and the GNOME Membership. The <a href="charter/">GNOME Foundation
Charter</a> outlines the overall purpose, structure, and process
for the GNOME Foundation. The <a href="bylaws.pdf">GNOME Foundation By-laws</a>
(PDF) document the policies and procedures of the Foundation as a
non-profit group.
</p>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation publishes <a href="../reports/">Reports</a> on its
activities each quarter and each year. Here are the last reports:
</p>
<ul>
2009-10-30 17:58:54 +00:00
<li><a href="../reports/gnome-report-2009-Q3.pdf">Q3 2009 Report</a> (<a href="../reports/gnome-report-2009-Q3.html">HTML</a>)</li>
<li><a href="../reports/gnome-annual-report-2008.pdf">2008 Annual Report</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Board of Directors</h2>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation is run by a Board of Directors, which is elected
annually by the GNOME community, as the GNOME Membership, to carry out
much of the GNOME Foundation's tasks. The Board of Directors meets every
other week with a phone conference to discuss various topics pertaining
to the regular activities of the GNOME Foundation and GNOME. The minutes
to these meetings are posted publicly on the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">
2009-12-14 10:41:11 +00:00
foundation-list mailing list</a> and on the <a
href="http://live.gnome.org/FoundationBoardPublic/Minutes">Minutes wiki
page</a> for easier access.
</p>
<p>
2009-07-21 19:05:38 +00:00
The Board of Directors from July 2009 to June 2010 is:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Brian Cameron</li>
<li>Diego Escalante Urrelo</li>
<li>Behdad Esfahbod</li>

<h2>Executive Director</h2>
<p>
Stormy Peters is the GNOME Foundation's executive director. She is tasked
with managing and growing the GNOME Foundation as an organization.
Working with the Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and the GNOME
Foundation members, Stormy will help strengthen the Foundation by
attracting new industry members and community contributors to create an
awesome, easy-to-use, free and open source desktop, a strong development
platform and accelerate the adoption of GNOME. Stormy's combination of
industry expertise and community background will enable the Foundation to
extend its outreach to industry, sponsors and the community, as well as
increasing contact with new constituencies like mobile developers and
governments considering deploying GNOME.
</p>
<p>
As an open source advocate, Stormy has established relationships with the
open source community and industry sponsors, including GNOME. Stormy has
been involved with the GNOME Foundation, having been one of the founding
members of the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board in 2000 and a keynote
speaker at last year's GUADEC. Her previous positions include that of
Open Source Program Manager at Hewlett-Packard and Director of Community
and partner programs at OpenLogic.
</p>
<h2>Advisory Board</h2>
<p>
The Advisory Board is made up of organizations and companies that support
GNOME. The Advisory Board has no decision-making authority but provides a
vehicle for its members to communicate with the Board of Directors and
help the Directors guide the overall direction of GNOME and the GNOME
Foundation.
</p>
<p>
The Advisory Board consists of representatives from the following GNOME
Foundation member corporations and projects:
</p>
<ul>
<li>ACCESS</li>
<li>Canonical</li>
<li>Debian Project</li>
<li>Free Software Foundation</li>

</ul>
<h2>GNOME Foundation Membership</h2>
<p>

all the contributors to the GNOME project. Members can run for election
to the Board of Directors, vote in the elections for the Board of
Directors, and suggest referenda.
