+<h1>GNOME Foundation adds industry leaders to advisory board</h1>
+
+<p>
+BOSTON, Mass â November 3, 2008 â The GNOME Foundation announced today that
+Motorola and Google are joining the GNOME Advisory board and sponsoring the
+GNOME Foundation.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With these two new additions to its advisory board, the GNOME Foundation
+continues to strengthen its industry support and shows that the support for
+free and open source software is growing - especially in the mobile space with
+technologies like GNOME Mobile. The additional funds and resources will be used
+to on programs that support GNOME's goal of universal access such as
+accessibility outreach programs, usability studies and internationalization
+efforts. GNOME is building on its strength of an accessible desktop to enable
+universal access to technology through desktops, netbooks, and mobile devices.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"Google is proud to support the many endeavors of our colleagues in Free and
+Open Source software development." said Chris DiBona, Open Source Programs
+Manager. "We're pleased to continue our collaboration with the GNOME Foundation
+through our membership on the Foundation's Advisory Board."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"For mobile Linux, Motorola believes in open standards and open source
+technologies," said Christy Wyatt, Vice President, Software Platforms and
+Ecosystem, Motorola. "The GNOME Foundation allows us to expand our reach to
+the vibrant GNOME communities and be active in projects that we currently
+utilize from the GNOME stack, SQLite, GStreamer, and Bluez to name a few."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"Advancements in open source mobile technology continue to provide new and
+beneficial applications while enrichingÂfeatures forÂdevelopers and end users
+in software, on desktops and mobile devices," said Bdale Garbee, Chief
+Technologist and Linux Chief, Open Source &amp; Linux Organization, HP, and an
+advisory board member of GNOME. "The addition of new sponsors and advisory
+board members empowers GNOME to continue its efforts to make exciting progress
+in free and open source mobile technologies. Working withÂnew sponsors like
+Google and Motorola, we bring the strengths of open source software to the
+mobile industry."
+</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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME Project is creating a complete, free and easy-to-use desktop
+environment for users, as well as a powerful application development framework
+for software developers. 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 as well as many mobile platforms like cellular phones and
+tablets.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME project has three main goals:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Free and open source desktop accessible to all. GNOME is a free desktop
+  available to everyone, regardless of language, physical ability, technical
+  expertise.</li>
+  <li>Development platform. GNOME is a powerful development platform for
+  developing free and open source software applications.</li>
+  <li>GNOME Mobile. GNOME technologies provide a foundation for mobile
+  applications from tablets to cellular phones.</li>
+</ul>
+
