<a NAME="Introduction"></a><b>Introduction</b> <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. GNOME is part of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</a>,
|
|
and is free software (some times referred to as open source software.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goals of the GNOME project.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To achieve these goals, 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.
