Letter from the GNOME Foundation Executive Director
This has been quite a year for GNOME! This report covers our fiscal year, which starts and ends in fall (at least in North
AmericawheretheFoundationhasitshome).We'rerequiredbylawtofileanofficialformwiththeIRSintheUnitedStates
but we also like to take the opportunity to put together something that's a lot more readable so that our volunteers,
members,sponsorsandtheGNOME-usingcommunitycanseewhatwe'vebeenworkingonandhowwe'vebeenusingour
resources.We'vemadeapointofhighlightingcertainfactsforyouasyoureadthereport,tomakereadingthiseasierand
more fun. It's especially gratifying for me to have the opportunity to recap what has been an amazing first full year as
Executive Director. We're refining and furthering GNOME 3 and, as a foundation, making freedom and our nonprofit
principlesthecentralfocusofeverythingthatwedo.

something that must remain an ongoing goal of GNOME. This is software in the public interest - we as a community can
togetherworkonwhatmatterstomaketheworldbetterthroughsoftware.
In this vein, we also took steps to include more voices in the GNOME community and in free software generally. Our Outreach
ProgramforWomenhasgrownconsiderably,andduringthisyearwebecameleadersinanewwaybyexpandingOPWbeyond

GNOME is an amazing community doing revolutionary work. We celebrated our 15th anniversary this year. We've kept

retrospectively at our history, it's evident that sticking with our nonprofit model (with room for others to profit from our
technologies)isthewaytouniteourprinciplesandvision.

15th anniversary of the GNOME project
It’s exciting that we’ve reached this milestone. Fifteen years ago, GNOME was created under the umbrella of the GNU
project by Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena Quintero, then two students at the National Autonomous University of
Mexico.Thefirstfiveyears,GNOMEwasayoungprojectwithveryyoungmembersbetweentheagesof14and22.writing

applications was developed, drawing inspiration from a variety of previous search implementations in our project. The
