"GNOME 2.0 will break down accessibility barriers" said Havoc Pennington, Chairman of the Board of

Directors GNOME Foundation. Integrating the Accessibility Framework into the fabric of GTK+,
|

will enable developers to easily write accessible applications". "Because of the object- oriented
|
||||
structure of GTK+, it is easy for application developers to incorporate accessibility capabilities
|
||||
without having to change the architecture of their software" said Owen Taylor, Engineering Lead for
|
||||
GTK+ at Red Hat. "This will lead to more accessible applications being developed quickly for the
|
||||
benefit of the entire GNOME user community".

"Our goal was to build accessibility into the initial design, giving the GNOME application
|
||||
developers uniformity across components by implementing one standard API, while at the
|
||||
same time providing extensibility" - said Robert O'Dea, Director of GNOME engineering at
|
||||
Sun Ireland. "Also, our design philosophy took into consideration the many graphical
|
||||
toolkits that could take advantage of the agnostic approach of the AT SPI toolkit --
|
||||
this strategy saves time by eliminating the need to reinvent accessibility for each
|
||||
platform. Developers can get started with the Accessibility Framework now. We have
|
||||
documentation and engineering support in place to help make the upcoming release of
|
||||
GNOME 2.0 Accessible by first customer ship. In addition, our Accessibility Lab is in
|
||||
place to help assistive technology developers to write to the AT SPI while leveraging
|
||||
available Sun hardware and software solutions".

"Nobody builds a sidewalk without curb cuts we're taking the same approach with

software - making GNOME 2.0 accessible will open new doors for users with disabilities",
|
||||
said Mike Rogers, Vice President of Webtop and Applications Software at Sun. "With the
|
||||
growing worldwide popularity of the GNOME desktop, it's important that all users have
|
||||
the freedom to interact with this powerful user environment, using various assistive
|
||||
technologies to gain easy access to information and applications, as well as collaborate
|
||||
with team members". "As use of GNOME spreads to more work environments, accessibility
|
||||
for employees with disabilities becomes increasingly important said Gregg C. Vanderheiden
|
||||
Ph.D. Director Trace R&D Center at the University of Wisconsin". "SUNs leadership and
|
||||
efforts to ensure that GNOME is accessible is great news to both Solaris and Linux
|

users who have disabilities".

|
||||
Gnumatic, Helix Code, Henzai, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Object Management
|
||||
Group, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, TurboLinux and VA Linux have announced
|

said Miguel de Icaza, founder of the GNOME project. "As GNOME continues
|
||||
to gain momentum, we needed a forum where the GNOME developers and
|

and offer a forum for industry leaders to contribute to GNOME. The
|
||||
Bonobo component project, GTK toolkit development, Pango
|
||||
internationalization, GNOME Office integration and other projects will
|
||||
be embraced under the GNOME organization. The foundation will be

"Eazel is delighted to be a member of the Foundation and to be building

Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation said: "16 years ago, we
|
||||
began developing the GNU operating system, a replacement for the Unix
|
||||
operating system that would be entirely Free Software (free as in
|
||||
freedom). We aimed to give GNU the full scope of Unix, including
|
||||
compilers, editors, email software, even games. But beyond that, we
|
||||
hoped someday to give a GNU graphical interface like the Macintosh. Our
|
||||
third attempt at that, the one that succeeded, is GNOME, started in 1997
|
||||
by Miguel de Icaza. GNOME, like all of GNU, is a project of the Free
|
||||
Software Movement, which has been working since 1984 to give software
|
||||
users the freedom to redistribute and change software. The rival Open
|
||||
Source Movement was founded in 1998 to avoid raising issues of freedom
|
||||
and principle as we try to do. Supporters of that movement contribute
|
||||
to work on GNOME, but GNOME is not part of that movement. See
|
||||
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html</a> for more

"Gnumatic Incorporated sees the Gnome Foundation as a major key to the

creation of desktop and home user applications for Linux," said Dr.

Linas Vepstas, CEO of Gnumatic Incorporated. "By providing a stable
|
||||
desktop development platform for Linux, applications such as GnuCash,
|
||||
the personal finance manager being developed by Gnumatic, will benefit
|
||||
from the broad array of standard Gnome technologies."

"We created Helix Code to deploy a free, modern and friendly desktop
|

solution to the world," said Nat Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Helix
|

Code. "Helix GNOME has brought a new level of accessibility and
|

our product. For GNOME, the next step is applications. Helix Code
|
||||
comes to the table with Evolution, a comprehensive communications and
|
||||
information management suite. Now, industry and developer support has
|
||||
rallied around the GNOME platform and major contributions are coming in
|
||||
from all sides. We will soon offer a total desktop solution that will
|
||||
reshape the industry. GNOME has arrived."

"HP is excited to join the GNOME foundation and will take an active role
|
||||
in working with the open source community to contribute to the future
|
||||
desktop standard for Linux and UNIX systems." said Martin Fink, R&D Lab
|
||||
Manager for UNIX Systems Enablement. "HP is migrating the HP-UX desktop
|
||||
to GNOME towards a goal of common look and feel between HP-UX and

"By partnering with industry leaders in the GNOME Foundation, IBM
|
||||
continues its strong commitment to open standards and a clear vision of
|
||||
Linux as the driving force for the evolution of e-business," said Daniel
|
||||
Frye, program director, IBM Linux Technology Center. "IBM believes this
|
||||
partnership will help enable innovation and will accelerate development
|
||||
of the Linux desktop."
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"One of the challenges the Linux community is facing is how to integrate
|
||||
the new applications that are currently being developed with the
|
||||
established architectures that already exist in most business
|
||||
enterprises. GNOME developers have realized that building it around
|
||||
CORBA allows them to use components that integrate with other
|
||||
industry-recognized technologies, such as Java and C++. The OMG is well
|
||||
aware of the need for vendor-neutral organizations that allow developers
|
||||
to agree upon standard interfaces. We look forward to helping the GNOME
|
||||
Foundation in their mission, " said Dr. Richard Soley, CEO, Object
|
||||
Management Group.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"About three years ago, Red Hat created the Red Hat Advanced Development
|
||||
Labs (RHAD Labs) to support open source software on the desktop and
|
||||
became the first commercial company to make a contribution to GNOME
|
||||
development," said Bob Young, Chairman and co-founder of Red Hat. "With
|
||||
the formation of the GNOME Foundation, GNOME is truly coming of age in
|
||||
terms of market momentum. We are excited about the opportunities for
|
||||
GNOME and open source, and we look forward to working with the new
|
||||
members to the GNOME community, like Eazel, Helix, Sun Microsystems and
|
||||
others, as they bring applications and technology to the GNOME desktop
|
||||
environment."
|

"Sun is thrilled to be joining the GNOME Foundation and we plan to adopt
|
||||
GNOME as the future desktop for Solaris," said Marco Boerries, vice
|
||||
president and general manager of webtop and application software at Sun
|
||||
Microsystems, Inc. "We are committed to contributing significant
|
||||
engineering resources to the GNOME project and will work closely with
|
||||
the other GNOME members to ensure continued reliability and quality."

|
||||
"TurboLinux is please to support the GNOME Foundation," said Rok Sosic,
|
||||
TurboLinux Chief Technology Officer. "We have used GNOME as our default
|
||||
desktop since 1999, and we've been very pleased with the progress that
|
||||
it has made toward becoming a full-featured standard. GNOME is one of
|
||||
the best examples of how open source software can succeed. Such wide
|
||||
ranging support from the industry is guaranteed to help the project
|
||||
achieve it's goals."

|
||||
Systems. "GNOME is representative of the kind of creativity and
|
||||
engineering that is available from the Open Source development
|
||||
community. We have a number of engineers who have worked on GNOME and
|
||||
GTK technology for some time, and are pleased to extend our GNOME

<h3 align="center">THE GNOME COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY LEADERS JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER ENHANCED USER ENVIRONMENT FOR PCs, WORKSTATIONS AND NEW INTERNET ACCESS DEVICES</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
LinuxWorld Expo, San Jose, CA -- August 15, 2000 -- The GNOME project
|
||||
today announced five major initiatives aimed at delivering an
|
||||
industry-wide open user environment. These initiatives are:
|
||||
- To establish the GNOME user environment as the unifying desktop for
|
||||
the Linux and Unix communities.
|
||||
- Adoption of OpenOffice.org technologies for integration into GNOME.
|
||||
- Integration of the Mozilla browser technology into GNOME.
|
||||
- Industry leaders to work together to improve the quality, reliability
|
||||
and accessibility of the GNOME user environment around the world.
|
||||
- Establishment of the GNOME framework as the standard for next
|
||||
generation Internet access devices.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"GNOME is receiving a tremendous boost in terms of support, backing and
|
||||
commitment for contribution and improvements," said Miguel de Icaza,
|
||||
founder of the GNOME project. "GNOME is now well positioned to be the
|
||||
next generation user environment, uniting the existing Linux and UNIX
|
||||
communities. We are building an alternative environment based on free
|
||||
software and open principles. By leveraging other open technologies we
|
||||
are able to maintain our focus on making the most attractive development
|
||||
environment."
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>GNOME ADOPTION ON LINUX AND UNIX</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME has achieved significant acceptance from the Linux and Unix
|
||||
communities. Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard are announcing their
|
||||
adoption of GNOME as the future default user environment for Solaris and
|
||||
HP-UX, respectively. The GNOME user environment is the default for Red
|
||||
Hat, TurboLinux and several other leading Linux distributions and is
|
||||
available for all major Linux distributions. As a result, this
|
||||
initiative will unify many variations of Unix under a single user
|
||||
environment. It creates a cost-effective framework based on open
|
||||
standards and open source that will enable developers to write solutions
|
||||
for many different platforms, while competing on implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"The advent of a single user environment will provide enormous benefits
|
||||
to developers, end users and the industry as a whole," said Bill
|
||||
Claybrook of Aberdeen Group. "By reducing development, deployment and
|
||||
training costs this project will create a competitive, open standards
|
||||
based alternative."
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>A COMPLETE END-USER ENVIRONMENT</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Based on StarOffice, an alternative competitive office productivity
|
||||
suite available on multiple platforms and the leading productivity suite
|
||||
for Linux, OpenOffice.org is the industry initiative to deliver open
|
||||
office productivity applications and its technologies are being adopted
|
||||
by the GNOME project for integration into the system. OpenOffice.org
|
||||
will leverage the Bonobo component model to create a number of object
|
||||
components, allowing these components to be used by a wide range of
|
||||
applications.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
The Mozilla project is an industry initiative to deliver an open
|
||||
Internet browser. Mozilla browser technology, together with IBM's
|
||||
SashXB technology, will be integrated into GNOME to deliver an
|
||||
integrated browsing experience into its next generation user
|
||||
environment. GNOME has also integrated Mozilla with the Bonobo
|
||||
component system.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Eazel will provide Nautilus, an innovative file manager which serves as
|
||||
the starting point for Eazel's web-based system management services.
|
||||
Nautilus will provide a state-of-the art file manager for GNOME, with a
|
||||
fully-integrated Mozilla web-browser and a number of innovative new
|
||||
features. The Nautilus software will be integrated with web-based
|
||||
services that provide assistance with file management and system
|
||||
administration.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
GnuCash will provide graphing and financial data handling
|
||||
infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Helix Code will provide Evolution, the integrated calendar, mail and
|
||||
contacts system, as well as its Bonobo component architecture which
|
||||
enables applications to be built out of reusable software components.
|
||||
In addition, Helix Code will deliver a new set of configuration and
|
||||
administration tools targeted to end users, including configuration
|
||||
snapshotting, rollback and cluster management.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>BEYOND THE DESKTOP</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
This initiative will develop the framework and platform services
|
||||
required for applications to be developed and deployed on Internet
|
||||
appliances, consistent and compatible with the GNOME user environment on
|
||||
desktop systems. For the emerging Internet appliance market, Linux has
|
||||
been established as the front runner kernel technolgy. This initiative
|
||||
will provide a well-defined framework for developers and manufacturers
|
||||
of new devices and developers of Internet-based software services. It
|
||||
will also provide users and developers with a cost-effective framework
|
||||
that will deliver a common experience and share data across a range of
|
||||
hardware platforms, from handhelds to supercomputers.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
As part of this initiative, Compaq is working to make Gnome-based
|
||||
applications available on its handheld devices as well as assisting
|
||||
developers through the handhelds.org community and the GNOME Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>OTHER KEY CONTRIBUTIONS TO ENHANCE GNOME</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
IBM is contributing application development tools which enable
|
||||
development of web-based applications (SashXB for Linux) using open web
|
||||
standard languages (HTML, Javascript, DHTML, and XML), but have
|
||||
look-and-feel consistency with other "native" applications.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Red Hat will provide an object-oriented widget framework, CORBA, an OMG
|
||||
industry standard, support for distributed software, lay-out and
|
||||
rendering of internationalized text and configuration management
|
||||
technology.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Sun Microsystems will provide printing, internationalization and
|
||||
accessibility technology as well as its substantial expertise in
|
||||
improving reliability and quality based on its experience in delivering
|
||||
mission-critical solutions for global corporations.

<b>ABOUT GNOME</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><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.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME is part of the GNU project, and is free software (often referred
|
||||
to as open source software). GNOME is included in almost every BSD and
|
||||
Linux distribution and works on many other Unix systems.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Although a number of private and public companies are contributing to
|
||||
the development of GNOME, GNOME is not controlled by any company. It is
|
||||
a volunteer-driven effort with hundreds of volunteer developers from all
|
||||
over the world. Their efforts are coordinated by the Gnome Foundation.
|
||||
Information about GNOME is available at http://www.gnome.org.

|
||||
|
||||
Foundation to Reinforce and Advance GNOME as the World's Leading Open-source Desktop Environment
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.-August 15, 2000-Red Hat, Inc. (Nasdaq:RHAT),
|
||||
the leader in open source Internet infrastructure solutions, today
|
||||
announced it has joined the GNOME project and top industry vendors
|
||||
including Compaq, Eazel, Helix Code, IBM, Sun Microsystems and VA Linux
|
||||
Systems to form the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit, unified group of
|
||||
vendors and individuals dedicated to advancing the use and extending the
|
||||
capabilities of the popular GNOME graphical user environment.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
The GNOME (GNU Network Object Modeling Environment) project is an open
|
||||
source, GUI-based user interface for Linux designed to run on all modern
|
||||
versions of UNIX-like operating systems. Since its development, GNOME has
|
||||
quickly become one of the world's leading, free and simple desktop
|
||||
environments.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Red Hat will assist the GNOME Foundation in leading the technical
|
||||
direction of the continuing GNOME project, offering forums for industry
|
||||
leaders to contribute to GNOME and in promoting the benefits of GNOME. The
|
||||
GNOME Foundation will provide organizational and financial support for
|
||||
GNOME and related open source projects.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"Red Hat has played an integral part in the development of code and
|
||||
support for GNOME," said Bob Young, chairman and co-founder of Red Hat,
|
||||
Inc. "As one of the key founders of the GNOME Foundation, Red Hat is
|
||||
dedicated to working with others in advancing this powerful application
|
||||
framework and promoting it as the desktop environment of the future."
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>About the GNOME Foundation</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
The GNOME Foundation provides organizational, financial and legal support
|
||||
to the GNOME project. The foundation will help determine the vision and
|
||||
roadmap for GNOME. It will also assist in creating technical standards,
|
||||
coordinate GNOME releases, and determine which software projects are part
|
||||
of GNOME. The foundation will make public statements and administer funds
|
||||
on behalf of the GNOME project. The Foundation will be incorporated as a
|
||||
membership-based, not-for-profit corporation.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
You are invited to participate in the GNOME Foundation. We welcome
|
||||
contributions in many forms. Our membership consists of those individuals
|
||||
who have demonstrated a commitment to the development of GNOME through
|
||||
participation in the development, documentation and promotion of GNOME.
|
||||
The Advisory Board provides a vehicle for organizations and companies to
|
||||
communicate with the GNOME community and support GNOME. Additional
|
||||
information is available at: http://www.gnome.org.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Joining Red Hat in the GNOME Foundation is Collab.net, Compaq, Debian,
|
||||
Eazel, Free Software Foundation, Gnumatic, Helix Code, Henzai, Inc., IBM,
|
||||
Sun Microsystems, and VA Linux Systems.

<b>Open source momentum</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
International Data Corp. (IDC) research states that paid Linux shipments
|
||||
grew faster than any other server operating system over the past two
|
||||
years, and their preliminary figures for 1999 show Linux shipments hold
|
||||
24.6 percent of the server operating system market, up from 15.8 in 1998.
|
||||
IDC also states that Red Hat Linux is by far the most popular
|
||||
distribution, preferred by 68.7 percent of U.S. Linux users.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Research firm Netcraft, Inc. (www.netcraft.com), states that as of May
|
||||
2000, 36 percent of all public Web sites run on Linux-based operating
|
||||
systems, making Linux the most popular choice for deploying public Web
|
||||
sites. IDC research shows 40 percent of all spending on Linux servers is
|
||||
for Internet related applications, firmly entrenching Linux servers in the
|
||||
Internet infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, IDC predicts that by 2002, there will be more than 55 million
|
||||
handheld and notebook-style information appliance devices and that by
|
||||
2005, shipments of these appliances will exceed shipments of PCs.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Red Hat's numerous alliances with industry leaders and the demand for
|
||||
Linux-based applications has created open source support from many of the
|
||||
industry's leading software and hardware manufacturers, including Compaq,
|
||||
Computer Associates, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Netscape, Novell,
|
||||
Oracle and SAP.

|
||||
|
||||
Adopts upcoming GNOME 2.0 as future user desktop for Solaris[tm] Operating Environment
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
PALO ALTO, CA -- August 15, 2000 -- Today at the LinuxWorld 2000 conference in San Jose,
|
||||
California, Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced it is joining the GNOME Foundation, a new
|
||||
organization of open community developers and leading high-technology companies that
|
||||
will advance GNOME as an industry-wide open user environment. Sun also announced it will
|
||||
adopt GNOME 2.0 as the future desktop for its Solaris[tm] Operating Environment. In a
|
||||
related announcement, the GNOME Foundation announced it will adopt OpenOffice.org
|
||||
technology as the core for GNOME Office Suite.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Solaris Operating Environment is the world's leading mission-critical UNIX(R) operating
|
||||
environment, used by global corporations. OpenOffice.org is the industry initiative to
|
||||
deliver open office productivity applications, based on Sun's StarOffice office
|
||||
productivity suite, that was provided to the open source community by Sun in July.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"We are delighted to be joining the GNOME Foundation and to be adopting GNOME as the
|
||||
modern desktop for Solaris. Linux developers will now be able to tap into the industrial
|
||||
power of Solaris as they develop applications for desktops and Internet-enabled devices
|
||||
for the dot-com era," said Marco Boerries, vice president and general manager of webtop
|
||||
and application software at Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Sun is committing significant
|
||||
engineering resources to ensure that GNOME integrates seamlessly into Solaris."
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
"This is the first time a major systems vendor has embraced free software/open-source
|
||||
software as a key element of its primary operating system," said Miguel de Icaza,
|
||||
founder of the GNOME project and Helix Code. "Sun's commitment to GNOME helps usher in a
|
||||
new era in delivering a complete and modern future user environment for not only the Sun
|
||||
community but for the open-source community as well."
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
By focusing on Sun's areas of development expertise--robust UNIX technology, printing,
|
||||
internationalization, accessibility, and network configuration and management--Sun will
|
||||
drive reliability and quality with the GNOME Foundation.
|
||||

|
||||
