<h1>The GNOME Foundation</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
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 <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU Project</a>, and is <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software</a>
(sometimes referred to as <a href="http://www.opensource.org/">Open
Source</a> software).
</p>
<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, 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.
