							|  |  |  |  <a NAME="Introduction"></a><b>Introduction</b>  <br>The GNOME | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  project has built a complete free and easy-to-use desktop environment for | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  the user, as well as a powerful application framework for the software | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  developer. GNOME is part of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</a>, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  and is free software (some times referred to as open source software.) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </p> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <p> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goals of the GNOME project. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </p> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <p> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  To achieve these goals, the Foundation will coordinate releases of GNOME | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  and determine which projects are part of GNOME. The Foundation will act | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  as an official voice for the GNOME project, providing a means of communication | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  with the press and with commercial and noncommercial organizations interested | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  in GNOME software. The foundation may produce educational materials and | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  documentation to help the public learn about GNOME software. In addition, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  it may sponsor GNOME-related technical conferences, represent GNOME at | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  relevant conferences sponsored by others, help create technical standards | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  for the project and promote the use and development of GNOME software. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </p> |
