The GNOME Project is an effort to create a complete, free and easy-to-use desktop environment for users, as well as a powerful application development framework for software developers. GNOME is part of the GNU Project, and is Free Software (sometimes referred to as Open Source software).
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.
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, and represent GNOME at relevant conferences sponsored by others, help create technical standards for the project and promote the use and development of GNOME software.
Groups interested in hosting the next GUADEC in 2007 are invited to write a formal invitation to the board of the GNOME Foundation.
The invitation should be send to the board and Anne Østergaard at the latest on April 19th 2006. See all the details in this mail.
The GNOME Foundation Membership & Elections Committee is pleased to announce the official results for the 2005 GNOME Foundation elections. The Foundation board directors for the 2005/2006 term of office are:
Jonathan Blandford, Federico Mena-Quintero, David Neary, Anne Østergaard, Vincent Untz, Luis Villa, Jeff Waugh
