 | ||||||
|  | <P> | ||||||
|  | Cupertino, California -- August 28, 2001 -- GNOME Foundation today announced the early access | ||||||
|  | release of the Gnome 2.0 Accessibility Framework.  This framework paves the way for a new | ||||||
|  | generation of applications that integrate with assistive technologies -- enabling all users | ||||||
|  | to access the GNOME desktop. | ||||||
|  |  <P> | ||||||
|  | Sun's contributions to the GNOME Accessibility Framework within the GNOME open source project | ||||||
|  | further underscores Sun's commitment to the delivery of an accessible desktop for the benefit | ||||||
|  | of all users in the workplace.  The GNOME Accessibility Framework includes a comprehensive | ||||||
|  | toolkit and APIs that is comprised of the following two key components: | ||||||
|  | </P><P> | ||||||
|  | <UL> | ||||||
|  | <LI> An Accessibility Toolkit (ATK API) and associated implementation library integrated with the | ||||||
|  |   GTK+ 2.0 user interface toolkit that provides built-in accessibility support - enabling | ||||||
|  |   developers using GTK+ widgets to automatically build accessible applications</LI> | ||||||
|  | <LI>An agnostic Assistive Technologies Service Provider Interface (AT SPI) toolkit for developers | ||||||
|  |   to interface technologies such as voice command, text-to-speech, screen readers, | ||||||
|  |   and screen magnifiers with GNOME accessible applications on any UNIX platform. </LI> | ||||||
|  | </UL> | ||||||
|  | <P> | ||||||
|  | This built-in extensible accessibility framework provides the foundation for developers to | ||||||
|  | write accessible applications from the ground up, provides built-in accessibility support | ||||||
|  | for existing GNOME applications, and enables assistive technologies developers to adapt | ||||||
|  | their enabling technologies to run on any UNIX platform. | ||||||
|  | </P><P> | ||||||
|  | "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". | ||||||
|  | </P><P> | ||||||
|  | "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". | ||||||
|  |  </P><P> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |  "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". | ||||||

 | ||||||
|  | LinuxWorld Expo, San Jose, CA -- August 15, 2000 --The GNOME project | ||||||
|  | today announced the creation of the GNOME Foundation, which will be | ||||||
|  | governed by a board of directors elected by the hundreds of volunteer | ||||||
|  | developers who contribute to GNOME.  In addition, industry leaders and | ||||||
|  | organizations including Compaq, Eazel, Free Software Foundation, | ||||||
|  | Gnumatic, Helix Code, Henzai, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Object Management | ||||||
|  | Group, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, TurboLinux and VA Linux have announced | ||||||
|  | their support for the foundation, with the goal of advancing the | ||||||
|  | availability of this easy-to-use, open source, desktop environment. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <br><br> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | "The GNOME Foundation marks a major step forward for the GNOME project," | ||||||
|  | said Miguel de Icaza, founder of the GNOME project.  "As GNOME continues | ||||||
|  | to gain momentum, we needed a forum where the GNOME developers and | ||||||
|  | corporate partners can come together to coordinate the continued | ||||||
|  | development of GNOME.  The support of these industry leaders will help | ||||||
|  | us to achieve our dream of building a fully free, easy to use desktop | ||||||
|  | environment that will be used by many millions of people." | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <br><br> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | The foundation will help set the technical direction of the GNOME | ||||||
|  | project, promote the broad adoption of GNOME on Linux and Unix desktops | ||||||
|  | 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 | ||||||
|  | modeled on the Apache Foundation, with a board of directors elected by | ||||||
|  | the hundreds of volunteer GNOME developers. | ||||||

|  | 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 | ||||||

|  |     internationalization and localization of GNOME. Xml-i18n-tools | ||||||
|  |     contain some utility scripts for internationalizing various | ||||||
|  |     kinds of XML files. In addition, it has a merging feature, | ||||||
|  |     which will be extended to handle desktop and MIME files in the | ||||||
|  |     future. | ||||||
|  |  </li> | ||||||
|  |  <li> | ||||||
|  |     GConf, a sophisticated system for storing configuration | ||||||
|  |     information. It provides a notification service so | ||||||
|  |     applications can be notified when a configuration setting | ||||||
|  |     changes. changes. Gconf also allows for pluggable storage | ||||||
|  |     backends (text files, databases, etc.) and gives | ||||||

|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | 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. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||

|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <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 | ||||||

|  | <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. | ||||||

 | ||||||
|  | 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." | ||||||

|  | <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, | ||||||

|  | 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. | ||||||

|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | 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. | ||||||
