GNOME FOUNDATION LEADER TO VISIT THREE LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES

+ +

Miguel de Icaza goes on GNOME Foundation's First Latin American Roadshow

+ +
+BOSTON, Mass.  - June 24, 2002 - Miguel de Icaza, president of the GNOME
+Foundation and CTO and co-Founder of Ximian, Inc. is visiting three
+Latin American countries to discuss GNOME and free software with
+government officials, business, IT leaders and open source advocates in
+Peru, Uruguay and Brazil.  GNOME is a user-friendly, powerful desktop
+environment and developer platform that is licensed under the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, making it freely available for anyone to modify
+and distribute.  GNOME boasts an advanced, component-based architecture
+and powerful development tools, that make it possible to customize it
+and add capabilities and applications easily.
+
+"Emerging markets like Peru, Uruguay and Brazil have shown a strong
+interest in GNOME and free software," said Miguel de Icaza, president of
+the GNOME Foundation and CTO and co-founder of Ximian, Inc.  "I'm
+excited to be visiting these three countries and to be speaking with
+government, business and IT leaders there."
+
+Miguel will speak at the Auditorio de la Asamblea Nacional de Rectores
+today in Lima, Peru.  He will be in Montevideo, Uruguay at the
+Universidad Católica del Urugual (UCUDAL) on June 26 and at Universidade
+Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul  (UERGS) in Porto Alegre, Brazil on June
+27.  He will also meet individually with business, government and IT
+leaders in each country.
+
+"Given the current economic pressure of foreign debt in the region,
+GNOME helps bring the computer accessibility necessary for modernization
+without straining public budgets" said Timothy Ney, GNOME Foundation's
+Executive Director.
+
+A theme common to many De Icaza's discussions will be that of "Software
+Libre and the State", addressing how countries can more affordably
+bridge the "digital barrier" for their citizens while maintaining
+control of their domestic technology industries and destinies by
+building upon free, open-source rather than proprietary software.
+
+GNOME has advanced internationalization capabilities and a host of
+accessibility features for users with disabilities.  It also features a
+built-in accessibility framework for developers to add even more
+features.   It is an attractive and cost-effective option for business,
+government and education, as well as individual users.  GNOME is
+supported on a variety of platforms, including GNU/Linux (more commonly
+referred to as Linux), Solaris (tm) Operating Environment, HP-UX, Unix,
+BSD and Apple's Darwin.  
+
+"GNOME is technically advanced, user-friendly, cross-platform desktop
+that represents a way for countries like Brazil to bridge the digital
+divide and compete in a global economy," said Marcos Mazoni of PROCERGS,
+the state data processing and Internet provider in Rio Grande Do Sol,
+Brazil  "Miguel has made a huge contribution to computing through his
+work on GNOME.  Millions of people worldwide use GNOME and we are
+thrilled to have him here."
+
+The state of Rio Grande do Sol in Brazil was one of the first
+governments in the world to implement a policy of using only free
+software.  Among other things, they are deploying free software programs
+to manage their automobile registration system and other government
+databases, and they are installing computers loaded with GNOME in
+schools across the state.
+
+About GNOME
+GNOME is a free software project that is developing a complete, easy to
+use desktop for Linux-based operating systems, BSD and a variety of
+other Unix and Unix-like operating systems.  The GNOME desktop is used
+by millions of people around the world.  More than 500 computer
+developers, including over 100 full-time, paid developers, contribute
+their time and effort to the project.
+
+About the GNOME Foundation
+Comprised of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading
+companies, the GNOME Foundation is an organization committed to
+supporting the advancement of GNOME. The Foundation is a member
+directed, non-profit organization that provides, financial,
+organizational and legal support to the GNOME project and helps
+determine its vision and roadmap. GNOME is an entirely free user
+environment for desktops, networked servers and portable Internet
+devices.  The modern architecture and design of GNOME includes a
+technically advanced application development platform and a powerful
+end-user desktop environment.  Major leading software industry and
+computer manufacturers support the GNOME development effort, which is
+led by a worldwide community of volunteers.  More information on GNOME
+is available at www.gnome.org.

This site is maintained by + the GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee + and was designed by JP + Schnapper-Casteras and Bart Decrem.
