+<h1>Collabora Joins the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board</h1>
+
+<p><em>UK software consultants to help in mission to create a free software computing platform.</em></p>
+
+<p>
+April 29, 2010 â?? UK-based open source software consultancy Collabora is
+joining the GNOME Foundation advisory board today. A long time supporter of
+GNOME and member of the GNOME community, Collabora contributes directly to
+GNOME projects like Empathy, PiTiVi, Totem and Epiphany.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME Foundation works to further the goal of the GNOME project â?? to
+create a computing platform for use by the general public that is completely
+free software. On the advisory board, Collabora will work with the GNOME Board
+of Directors to help set vision and direction for the GNOME Foundation.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"We are proud of the work weâ??ve done in the past on GNOME projects and are
+happy to join the advisory board and contribute to the GNOME Foundation as
+well," said Robert McQueen, director and co-founder at Collabora Ltd. "Weâ??re
+passionate about open source and we look forward to the chance to help shape
+the future direction of the GNOME project alongside the other advisory board
+participants."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"As a member of the GNOME community and the employer of key GNOME
+contributors, we are delighted to welcome Collabora to our advisory board,"
+said Stormy Peters, Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation. "They are
+already a key part of the GNOME community and their perspective on the
+advisory board will be of huge benefit to both the GNOME project and the other
+companies represented on the board."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Collabora was a founding member of GNOME Mobile in 2007 and their technologies
+form key parts of the GNOME Mobile stack. In addition they work on many
+technologies that benefit the GNOME project like GStreamer, Telepathy,
+Farsight, D-Bus, X.Org and Webkit Gtk+. Their work is key in realising the
+GNOME vision of a free, accessible desktop and mobile platform for everyone.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"I've enjoyed working with Collabora since they joined the GNOME community,
+and they've made some significant contributions over the past few years, so
+it's great to see them joining the GNOME Foundation too." says Michael Meeks,
+Linux Desktop Architect at Novell, Inc. "Their frank insight and dynamism will
+be most welcome in the advisory board."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+GNOME technology forms a key part of mobile platforms such as Nokiaâ??s Maemo,
+Intelâ??s Moblin and their merger to form the Linux Foundationâ??s MeeGo platform,
+launched at Mobile World Congress 2010. Companies like Collabora work with the
+GNOME community and the platform companies to deliver free and open source
+solutions. Members of the GNOME Advisory Board help the GNOME Foundation work
+with partner companies effectively and get the chance to collaborate with each
+other on their use of GNOME technologies.
