<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.
