[Posted January 19, 2009 by cook]

GnomeDesktop.org has announced a new Friends of GNOME program. "Now supporters can sign up to help the GNOME Foundation with recurring $10/month donations. Friends of GNOME is a way for individuals to support the GNOME project's mission of providing a free and open source desktop for everyone regardless of ability. With no advertising or outreach, we've raised anywhere from $6,000 to $20,000 a year from generous individuals.That money has contributed to the funds for hackfests, local events and programs which in turn have enabled the GNOME project to create an internationalized, accessible and easy to use desktop software for both traditional desktops and for mobile devices."
