Checking in on the GNOME Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| In that first run-up we basically had a
| couple of the usual chuckleheads waging war
| against a flimsly constructed straw man in
| hopes of discrediting RMS/FSF/Free Software
| with a secondary effect of promoting âOpen
| Sourceâ as the preferred term (and a
| tertiary effect of embarassing themselves).
| The usual tactics from the usual suspects.
|
| Today, I saw that Bradley M. Kuhn is now a
| member of the GNOME Foundation. GNOME is in
| desperate need of people who understand and
| respect the Free Software ethos, so this is
| welcome news indeed.

Gnome 3 Usability Hackfest
,----[ Quote ]
| As the GNOME 3.0 approaches, the GNOME
| Community is going to hold a Usability
| Hackfest in London from feb 22-26. Those
| who are not aware about the usability
| project, it aims to make GNOME appearance
| more efficient and pleasant to the users.
| In this hackfest, they are planning to work
| and improve the design and usability of
| some new GNOME 3.0 components.

GNOME Revamps and Renews Outreach Program for Women
,----[ Quote ]
| The approach? Think Google Summer of Code --
| complete with internships, mentors, and
| sponsors -- with an emphasis on team
| contributions rather than stand-alone
| projects.
|
| GNOME ran a similar outreach program in
| 2006, and received one hundred applications
| within two weeks. Because funds are (always)
| limited, great projects (and talent) had to
| be turned away -- but Google was so was
| impressed by the proposals, it funded three
| additional projects. The 2006 Women's
| Outreach Program had six participants, but
| organizers are tentatively planning on five
| participants this season.
