One-on-one with Miguel de Icaza (NewsForge)
Joe Barr talks
with Miguel de Icaza. "
Joe: Who started GNOME? Miguel: I did, with Federico Mena. Federico was already contributing to the GIMP, and I was busy with the Linux on the SGI, and I was trying to get Federico to do it, and Federico wouldn't do it. So then I said, I'll stop all the stuff on the SGI, let's do this thing together. So we launched GNOME in August, 1997. And it was the summer after, that I did Gnumeric."
