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 * directory.html * documentation.html * executive_director.html * faq-ln7.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 * voters-2000.html: removed.

Most of them are copies of old files with some modifications (because of the change of directory and updated title).

| <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 > 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  | ||||
| <cookie> addresses.txt > 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> | ||||

|       <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>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 > 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="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> | ||||

| 
 | ||||
| <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". | ||||

| 
 | ||||
| <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." | ||||

 | ||||
| The Bitstream Vera fonts will be available for free | ||||
| copying and redistribution and can be modified as long | ||||
| as the font name is changed.  The fonts cannot be | ||||

| and continue to enhance the experience of end-users at | ||||
| all levels." | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| "GNOME was created to give free software users a | ||||
| friendly, powerful desktop environment," said Miguel | ||||

| enhance the experience and graphics capabilities of | ||||
| corporate, enterprise, educational, governmental and | ||||
| individual GNOME users and will give powerful tools to | ||||
| open source developers everywhere." | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| "Bitstream's generous donation is a tangible measure | ||||
| of the importance and growth of open source," said | ||||
| Russ Nelson, VP of the Open Source Initiative. "I | ||||
| praise the GNOME Foundations efforts to bring this | ||||
| agreement into being." | ||||

| 
 | ||||
| <br><br> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 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 | ||||

| <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.   | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Availability | ||||
| Developers and users wishing to install the GNOME 2.0 Desktop and | ||||
| Developer Platform may freely download the software at www.gnome.org.  | ||||

| 
 | ||||
| 	  <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. | ||||
| 
 | ||||

| <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. | ||||

| <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. | ||||

| 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 | ||||

| <b>Open source momentum</b> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| <br><br> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| <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. | ||||
