With the start of the new year let’s take a moment and remember 2017.
2017 represented a strong year for
the project, with another two releases with large technical advances. We
have seen growing numbers of partners, new advisory board members and
a wider adoption of GNOME on several distributions.
During the year, The GNOME Foundation
board set a number of policies in place which likely will have a
positive impact on the project, including hiring a full-time Executive
Director to oversee the future success of the organization.
During GUADEC 2017,
the largest annual conference, a special anniversary party was being
held to acknowledge the project’s 20th anniversary. GNOME Asia Summit,
the other major GNOME conference, happened in Chongqing China. In addition to the conferences, a number of Hackfests was being held and contributors represented GNOME at a number of events.
We are optimistic that 2018 will become an even stronger year. It’s a fantastic time to join the community
and help shape future of the project. We always welcome new
contributors, from developers, designers, translators, marketing people,
event organisers and much more.
