put the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format instead of two or three different

2003-10-07  Vincent Untz  <vincent@vuntz.net>

	* index.html: put the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format instead of two or three
	different formats.

	* .htaccess: added so we can redirect people from the old pages to the
	new ones. I'd like to have a htaccess file which is moved to .htaccess
	when copying the website (so it is not hidden in CVS), but that'll be
	for later

	* membership-form.html: removed (we now use membership-form.php)

	* press.html
	* press/*: removed these because we now point to press releases on
	gnome.org.

	* advisory_board.html
	* board_of_directors-2000.html
	* board_of_directors-2001.html
	* board_of_directors.html
	* charter.html

	* faq.html
	* index.html
	* membership-list.html
	* membership-policy.html
	* membership.html
	* organization.html
	* template.html: updated the links to the elections pages, and added
	the Fundraising links when it was missing.

	* announcement.html
	* ballot-summary-2000.html
	* election-2000.html
	* electionresults.html
	* electionrules-2000.html
	* final-vote-archive.diff
	* final_membership_list.txt
	* list-addresses.py
	* overview_2000.html
	* vote-counter.py

<p>To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
steps:</p>
<p>First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2000-November.txt.gz">ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2000-November.txt), the <a
href="registered-voters.txt">membership list</a>
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
href="vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a></p>
<p>Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<p>Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results to a file (they are long):
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2000-November.txt
&lt;cookie&gt; addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
<p>(The cookie has been lost.)</p>
<p>The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.</p>
<p>To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
reflect the evident intent of the voters.</p>

<h2 align="center">Running and Voting for the Board of Directors</h2>
<br>
<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>.
</p>
<br>
<h3>Becoming a Candidate for the Board of Directors</h3>

and define how they can help and work with GNOME.</P>
</OL>
<br>
<h3>Diversity of the Board of Directors</h3>

<p>To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
steps:</p>
<p>First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2001-November.txt.gz">ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2001-November.txt), the <a
href="registered-voters.txt">membership list</a>
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
href="vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a></p>
<p>Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<p>Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results to a file (they are long):
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2001-November.txt
gnome-foundation-secret-cXjoS6521 addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
<p>The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.</p>
<p>To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
reflect the evident intent of the voters.</p>

<p>To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
steps:</p>
<p>First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2001-November.txt.gz">ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2001-November.txt), the <a
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2001-eligible-members.txt">membership
list</a> (2001-eligible-members.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a>
and <a
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a></p>
<p>Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py 2001-eligible-members.txt > addresses.txt</pre>
<p>Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results to a file (they are long):
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2001-November.txt
gnome-foundation-secret-cXjoS6521 addresses.txt > results.txt</pre>
<p>The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.</p>
<p>To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2001-vote-archive.diff">diff
file</a>, which represents the votetakers' changes to the voting
archive to fix malformatted ballots to reflect the evident intent of
the voters.</p>

<h3 align="center">Making GNOME Accessible -- Opening New Doors At the Workplace for Users with Disabilities</h3>
<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".

<h3 align="center">Users with Disabilities Get Built-in Assistive Technology Solutions with the GNOME 2.0 Desktop</h3>
<P>
<B>New developments make the GNOME 2.0 Desktop more accessible to the needs
of users with disabilities.</B>
<P>
New York, N.Y. January 28, 2002 - The GNOME Foundation today announced
the latest innovative assistive technology contributions to the GNOME
project, an open-source, free-software desktop for GNU/Linux and UNIX.
BAUM Retec AG delivers the first full-featured GNOME screen magnifier, a
screen reader, and a set of Braille drivers to meet the needs of
vision-impaired users and the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre,
University of Toronto is delivering the first GNOME on-screen keyboard
to support users with motor impairments. These built-in assistive
technologies seamlessly integrate with a new generation of accessible
applications as they enable users with disabilities to easily interact
with applications that can adapt to their needs.
<P>
These new assistive technologies leverage Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s
contribution of the GNOME Accessibility Framework. This framework based
on an open architecture, provides a comprehensive toolkit and APIs, that
developers can use to create accessible applications and interface them
with assistive technologies on any UNIX or GNU/Linux platform running
the GNOME 2.0 desktop. With the combination of the Accessibility
Framework and assistive technologies, users with disabilities have the
solutions they need to get their job done efficiently:
<UL>
<LI>
Screen Magnifier - enables users with low vision to enlarge the
computer screen and interact with the magnified portion of the screen
they are accessing, such as menus, toolbars, graphics, and text
</LI>
<LI>
Screen Reader - allows users who are blind or visually impaired
to access information on the computer screen through a Braille display
or synthesized speech. With screen readers users can read and edit text,
manipulate menu bars, buttons and dialog boxes, and fully interact with
the GNOME desktop
</LI>
<LI>
On-screen Keyboard - provides users with physical impairments a
wide variety of ways to enter text and manipulate the graphical user
interface of applications and the GNOME desktop. In addition,
environments without a keyboard, such as a touch screen kiosk, can take
advantage of the on-screen keyboard. This on-screen keyboard goes beyond
the standard physical keyboard, it supports word prediction, scanning
access, coded access, customizable keyboard layouts, and dynamic
keyboard functionality that conveniently places menu bar options and
other application elements onto the keyboard display for direct
manipulation
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
"Integrating accessibility technology solutions with the GNOME desktop
allows anyone to use GNOME," said Miguel de Icaza, GNOME Foundation
President. These built-in capabilities provide enterprises with a
ready-to-go and comprehensive accessible desktop that adapts to the
needs of users with disabilities. The benefits are vast - for IT
organizations this cost-effective alternative resolves the problem of
buying and installing expensive complex software; for disabled users
it's simpler and more convenient to work and collaborate with team
members since they have the advantage of using any UNIX or GNU/Linux
platform running the GNOME 2.0 desktop".
<P>
"We chose GNOME because of its open, extensible, and comprehensive
accessibility architecture," said Thomas Friehoff, CTO, head of software
development of BAUM Retec AG. "Using the open Assistive Technologies
Service Provider API we were able to deliver our solutions quickly,
because it eliminated the need to reinvent assistive technology software
for different UNIX platforms, saving us time and costs".
<P>
"Our center in Toronto specializes in developing information
technologies that include seamless accessible interfaces," said Jutta
Treviranus, Director, Adaptive Technology Resource Centre, University of
Toronto. "The GNOME Accessibility Framework free software project
enables us to leverage the component-based architecture to develop
technologies that intelligently integrate alternative access techniques.
Using this approach we will make the user interface accessible and
usable by the large group of individuals who cannot use a standard
keyboard or mouse. We will continue working with the GNOME open source
project to develop new kinds of user input support, including an open
source keyboard configuration editor that provides ways to improve the
efficiency of computer interaction for users with disabilities."
<P>
"By providing rich and consistent interfaces for both assistive
technologies and applications, the accessibility framework enables
flexible and comprehensive accessibility solutions for GNOME," said Bill
Haneman, GNOME Accessibility Architect, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "A key
aspect of the GNOME Accessibility Framework is support for user
interface component sets beyond the built-in GNOME component set," said
Peter Korn, Sun Accessibility Architect. "The thousands of applications
that take advantage of the Java Accessibility API will work with the
GNOME Accessibility Framework unaltered and gain the benefit of the
assistive technologies included with the GNOME 2.0 Desktop. In addition,
other important applications, such as the OpenOffice.org productivity
suite, are being modified to use these technologies."

Eazel. "Much like the Apache Project before it, GNOME is benefiting from
the interest of both developers and commercial entities. The GNOME
Foundation can only help to accelerate that trend."
<br><br>
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
explanation."
<br><br>
"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."
<br><br>
"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
functionality to the hundreds of thousands of users who have installed
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."
<br><br>
"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
Linux."
<br><br>
"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."
<br><br>
"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."
<br><br>
"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."
<br><br>
"VA Linux Systems has been proud to make GNOME available on our systems
for years," said Dr. Larry M. Augustin, president and CEO of VA Linux
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
efforts by joining the GNOME foundation."

<h3 align="center">GNOME 2.0 DESKTOP AND DEVELOPER PLATFORM RELEASED</h3>
<p><b>Latest version of the popular, multi-platform desktop environment boasts
simpler user interface and a host of powerful developer tools.</b></p>
<pre>
OTTAWA, Canada - June 26, 2002 - The GNOME Foundation today released
version 2.0 of the GNOME Desktop and Developer Platform at the Ottawa
Linux Symposium. With the inclusion of GNOME 2.0 by leading Linux and
Unix vendors later this year, users of GNOME can look forward to an
improved user environment for existing GNOME applications, including a
faster and more powerful Nautilus file manager, features that are better
organized and usability-tested, dozens of useful utilities, applications
and even games. Users and administrators will also see a new,
simplified configuration system. Developers can look forward to more
efficient application development with stronger integration of GNOME
APIs and the advantages of GNOME's component-based architecture.
"The GNOME 2.0 project is the culmination of a major effort which had
the dual objectives of dramatically improving developer productivity and
significantly enhancing the GNOME user experience," said Miguel de
Icaza, president of the GNOME Foundation and CTO and co-founder of
Ximian, Inc. "The result is an elegant, new multi-platform desktop
environment for individual, corporate and government users worldwide."
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. The enhanced user interface moves
from a traditional X Window System interface to one that is easy to use
and familiar to users of other environments. The user interface also
boasts powerful features such as high-quality smooth text rendering and
first class internationalization support, including support for
bi-directional text.
"Developing on the GNOME platform will take a leap forward with the
release of 2.0," said Havoc Pennington, GNOME Foundation board chair and
technical lead for desktop engineering at Red Hat, Inc. "The
industrial-strength GTK+ 2.0 toolkit, combined with add-on tools such as
Glade, Python and our CORBA implementation make GNOME the natural choice
for developers on a variety of platforms. GNOME's component-based
architecture makes it possible for developers to use already existing
tools, libraries and features, cutting development time significantly."
GNOME 2.0 has a host of advanced accessibility features for users with
disabilities and a built-in accessibility framework for developers to
meet Section 508 requirements. Developers of GNOME 2.0 have devoted
thousands of man-hours to ensuring that GNOME will be accessible to
everyone, including people with disabilities. More features and
enhanced accessibility capabilities will be added later this year.
GNOME 2.0 boasts some significant advances for developers, including an
enhanced GTK Toolkit, new libraries and widgets, as well as the
unparalleled advantages of GNOME's component-based architecture.
GNOME's libraries are available for use in any application, without
fees, under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
GNOME 2.0 is the first of the GNOME 2.x series. Future releases will
bring more features to the core desktop, while adding GNOME 2 native
versions of popular applications such as Evolution, Galeon, Mozilla and
Gnumeric.

<h3 align="center">GNOME FOUNDATION LEADER TO VISIT THREE LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES</h3>
<p><b>Miguel de Icaza goes on GNOME Foundation's First Latin American Roadshow</b></p>
<pre>
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.

<h3 align="center">THE GNOME COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY LEADERS JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER ENHANCED USER ENVIRONMENT FOR PCs, WORKSTATIONS AND NEW INTERNET ACCESS DEVICES</h3>
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.
<br><br>
<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 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.

<h3 align="center">SUN JOINS GNOME FOUNDATION</h3>
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.
<br><br>
<b>About GNOME 2.0</b>
<br><br>
GNOME 2.0 will be the first major release from the GNOME Foundation, which will
integrate the advanced technologies from the GNOME Foundation partners with existing
technology from the GNOME Project. Some of the features planned for GNOME 2.0 include an
advanced and easy-to-use user environment; an integrated and free office productivity
suite; and the latest browser technology from the Mozilla Project.
<br><br>
<b>Availability</b>
<br><br>
GNOME 2.0 for Solaris is scheduled to be available from Sun by the middle of calendar
year 2001. Sun plans to start releasing early access versions of GNOME 2.0 for Solaris,
as the GNOME 2.0 technology becomes available, around the end of calendar year 2000.
CDE-based applications will continue to run in the new Solaris desktop environment
without change, and Sun will continue to support CDE users and applications.
<br><br>
<b>About GNOME and the GNOME Foundation</b>
<br><br>
The GNOME project has built a completely free and easy-to-use desktop environment, as
well as a powerful application framework for software developers on Linux and other
Unix-like operating systems. The GNOME Foundation will provide organizational, financial
and legal support to the GNOME project, and help determine its vision and roadmap.
Present members include Compaq, Eazel, Free Software Foundation, Gnumatic, Hewlett
Packard, Helix Code, Henzai, IBM, Object Management Group, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems,
TurboLinux and VALinux. Collab.Net, the leading provider of collaborative software
development services based on open source principles, is helping to organize the GNOME
Foundation. GNOME is part of the GNU project, an effort to build a completely free
Unix-like operating system better known as GNU/Linux or Linux. Additional information is
available at www.gnome.org.
<br><br>
<b>About Sun Microsystems, Inc.</b>
<br><br>
