<h1>About the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<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.
|
||||||
|
