|  |       <h3>GNOME Foundation Overview</h3> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |       <p> | ||||||
|  |        The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goal of the  | ||||||
|  |        GNOME project: to create a computing platform for use by  | ||||||
|  |        the general public that is completely free software. | ||||||
|  |       </p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |       <p> | ||||||
|  |        To achieve this goal, 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. For more information, see  | ||||||
|  |        <A HREF="/">The GNOME Foundation Web Site</A>. | ||||||
