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.

<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
|
||||

<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>
|
||||
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."

LONG-TERM AGREEMENT TO BRING HIGH QUALITY FONTS TO FREE SOFTWARE</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Ten fonts will be released for use under a special open license

|

NEW YORK, New York January 22, 2003
|
||||
|
||||
In a move to fill the last remaining gap in font display
|
||||
capabilities for open source software, the GNOME
|
||||
Foundation has reached an agreement with Bitstream
|
||||
(NASDAQ: BITS) to release fonts under an open source
|
||||
license. A total of ten serif, sans serif and
|
||||
monospaced fonts will be released under a special open
|
||||
source license, after they have been adapted to meet
|
||||
the requirements for technical use. The set of ten
|
||||
fonts will bring advanced font capabilities to all
|
||||
developers and users of free and open source software.
|
||||
|
||||
"The donation of these fonts to the free software
|
||||
community is the final piece that will give full
|
||||
functionality to projects like Freetype, XFT2 and X
|
||||
Render extensions of the XFree86 project, Pango, KDE
|
||||
and Trolltechs QT, among many others." said Jim
|
||||
Gettys of HP and GNOME Foundation board member.
|
||||
"These fonts will be available to all developers and
|
||||
users, giving GNOME and other open source programs a
|
||||
great look right out of the box that has been lacking
|
||||
until now."
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
packaged by themselves for sale, but can be sold with
|
||||
any software. The GNOME Foundation will incorporate
|
||||
the fonts into future GNOME releases, giving end users
|
||||
of all levels, as well as GNOME developers, the
|
||||
advanced display capabilities they offer.
|
||||
|
||||
"Bitstream has had a long relationship with the
|
||||
developer community," explained Bob Thomas, director
|
||||
of product management, Bitstream. "Were very happy to
|
||||
contribute these fonts to the open source community
|
||||
and we hope that developers will generate new fonts
|
||||
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
|
||||
de Icaza, GNOME Foundation president and CTO of
|
||||
Ximian, Inc. "This agreement with Bitstream will
|
||||
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."
|
||||
|
||||
The agreement between Bitstream and the GNOME
|
||||
Foundation will bring invaluable tools to open source
|
||||
developers and users worldwide.

|
||||
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.
|

<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.
|
||||
CollabNet, 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 <a href="http://www.gnome.org/">http://www.gnome.org/</a>.

||||
You are invited to participate in the GNOME Foundation. We welcome
|
||||
contributions in many forms. Our membership consists of those
|
||||
individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to the development of
|
||||
GNOME through participation in the development, documentation and
|
||||

"It's always great to see companies coming together and working to bring
|
||||
open source technologies to the next level," said Brian Behlendorf, CTO
|
||||
& co-founder, CollabNet. "The creation of the Gnome Foundation will
|
||||
help move Linux beyond the operating system to becoming a viable desktop
|
||||
application and CollabNet is excited to be participating in this
|

"Compaq is pleased to join the Advisory Board of the GNOME Foundation,

"Eazel is delighted to be a member of the Foundation and to be building
|
||||
software on the GNOME platform," said Mike Boich, CEO and co-founder of
|

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."

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

"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."

|

"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."

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
|

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
|

president and general manager of webtop and application software at Sun
|
||||
Microsystems, Inc. "We are committed to contributing significant
|

|
||||
world contributed to this release. The result is a mature, stable, powerful and
|
||||
fun-to-use desktop, with the promise of a host of new killer applications, due to the
|
||||

|
||||
"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
|
||||

|
||||
Developer Platform may freely download the software at www.gnome.org.
|
||||
The software includes the GNOME 2.0 desktop interface, file manager,
|
||||

<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>
|
||||
|
||||
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.-August 15, 2000-Red Hat, Inc. (Nasdaq:RHAT),

|
||||
Systems to form the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit, unified group of
|
||||
vendors and individuals dedicated to advancing the use and extending the
|
||||
capabilities of the popular GNOME graphical user environment.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
The GNOME (GNU Network Object Modeling Environment) project is an open
|
||||
source, GUI-based user interface for Linux designed to run on all modern
|
||||
versions of UNIX-like operating systems. Since its development, GNOME has
|
||||
quickly become one of the world's leading, free and simple desktop
|
||||
environments.
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
Red Hat will assist the GNOME Foundation in leading the technical
|
||||
direction of the continuing GNOME project, offering forums for industry
|
||||
leaders to contribute to GNOME and in promoting the benefits of GNOME. The
|
||||
GNOME Foundation will provide organizational and financial support for
|
||||

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

|
||||
Inc. "As one of the key founders of the GNOME Foundation, Red Hat is
|
||||
dedicated to working with others in advancing this powerful application
|
||||

<b>About the GNOME Foundation</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
The GNOME Foundation provides organizational, financial and legal support
|
||||
to the GNOME project. The foundation will help determine the vision and
|
||||
roadmap for GNOME. It will also assist in creating technical standards,
|
||||
coordinate GNOME releases, and determine which software projects are part
|
||||
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
|
||||
who have demonstrated a commitment to the development of GNOME through
|
||||
participation in the development, documentation and promotion of GNOME.
|
||||
The Advisory Board provides a vehicle for organizations and companies to
|
||||
communicate with the GNOME community and support GNOME. Additional
|
||||
information is available at: http://www.gnome.org.
|

<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
|
||||

||||
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.
