GNOME Foundation and Mozilla Foundation join forces

GNOME Foundation and Mozilla Foundation join forces
===================================================

The GNOME Foundation and the Mozilla Foundation announced today that
they will increase their collaboration to improve developer support and
user experience of desktop applications on GNU/Linux and other free
software systems.

The partnership has three aspects:

  * The Mozilla Foundation will join the GNOME Foundation advisory
    board, helping set the long-term direction of the project.
  * Mozilla reaffirms its commitment to integrating with the GNOME
    platform for the XUL development platform, and for Mozilla Firefox.
  * The Mozilla Foundation announces a grant of $10,000 to the GNOME
    Foundation, to be spent on the improvement of the accessibility of
    the GNOME desktop environment via the "GNOME Outreach Program:
    Accessibility" program.

"GNOME and GTK+ have been our environment of choice for years. As we
move from desktops into the mobile market, we will continue to work with
GNOME to ensure that Mozilla and Firefox users on GNOME platforms will
have the best experience possible", according to Mozilla evangelist
Chris Blizzard.

"Mozilla and GNOME people have been collaborating for nearly a decade.
Together we've been able to make contributions to the foundation of each
other's platform - from GTK+ to Cairo to browser desktop integration",
says GNOME Foundation Director Vincent Untz. "But the real story is
about two organizations sharing many common values including our shared

GNOME Foundation Annual Report 2007 released!

Hi all,

Last year, Dave Neary and others started this new tradition by
producing the first GNOME Foundation annual report which has got very
positive response from community. So, we decided to follow the new
tradition by preparing the GNOME Foundation annual report 2007!

I've been slowly working on it for a few months with invaluable
contributions from several people. The report is now available in
GNOME Foundation's website:

  http://foundation.gnome.org/about/gnome_annual_report_2007.pdf (1860 KB, PDF)

We'll soon send nice hard copies of the report to the Advisory Board
members and existing GNOME event boxes. Our plan is to also print a
bunch of extra copies to be used for promoting GNOME on events around
the world. Feel free to request some copies for your local GNOME
event.

This year, we chose Lulu.com as the printing service in order to allow
us to easily print more copies on demand and to make it possible to
anyone to order personal hard copies by just paying for the printing.
You can buy a hard copy of this report directly from Lulu.com here:

Many thanks to:
  - the writers: Federico Mena-Quintero, Sayamindu Dasgupta, Vincent Untz and
    Behdad Esfahbod;
  - the photographers: Frederic Crozat, Michael Dominic, Vincent Untz,

Re: GNOME Foundation Annual Report 2007 released!

Hi all,

Important: there's no GNOME Foundation revenue attached to the price
of the printing services at Lulu.com. This means that you're not
donating anything to GNOME Foundation by ordering your hard copy from
Lulu.com!
