+<h1>GNOME Foundation and Mozilla Foundation join forces</h1>
+<p>
+BOSTON, Mass â March 04, 2008 â 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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The partnership has three aspects:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>The Mozilla Foundation will join the GNOME Foundation advisory
+  board, helping set the long-term direction of the project.</li>
+  <li>Mozilla reaffirms its commitment to integrating with the GNOME
+  platform for the XUL development platform, and for Mozilla
+  Firefox.</li>
+  <li>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 <a
+  href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/outreach/a11y";>"GNOME Outreach
+  Program: Accessibility"</a> program.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+"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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"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
+commitment to innovation and bringing freedom to our user base."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Both projects actively support open standards and formats. Mozilla
+contributes to the W3C HTML5 working group and WHATWG working group, in
+order to ensure an open web platform for all future Internet users.
+GNOME is a member of the ODF Alliance and works with other desktop
+projects under the freedesktop.org umbrella to offer the best user
+experience to desktop users. These involvements aim to create space for
+innovation and to give freedom to the user.
+</p>
+
+<h3>About GNOME and the GNOME Foundation</h3>
+<p>
+GNOME is a free-software project whose goal is to develop a complete,
+accessible and easy to use desktop for Linux and Unix-based operating
+systems. GNOME also includes a complete development environment to
+create new applications. It is released twice a year on a regular
+schedule.
+</p>
+<p>
+The GNOME desktop is used by millions of people around the world. GNOME
+is a standard part of all leading GNU/Linux and Unix distributions, and
+is popular with both large existing corporate deployments and millions
+of small business and home users worldwide.
+</p>
+<p>
+Comprised of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading
+companies, the GNOME Foundation is an organization committed to
+supporting the advancement of GNOME. The Foundation is a member
+directed, non-profit organization that provides financial,
+organizational and legal support to the GNOME project and helps
+determine its vision and roadmap.
