+<h1>GNOME Foundation Launches Tomboy Online Alpha</h1>
+
+<p>
+BOSTON, Mass â?? September 17, 2010 â?? The GNOME Foundation has launched an
+alpha for Tomboy Online this week as a first step towards an
+integrated Web and desktop free software stack. Just in time for
+Software Freedom Day on September 18, the GNOME Foundation is taking a
+major step towards the future of client computing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Tomboy Online service integrates with the Tombody notetaking
+application for the GNOME desktop. Available for Linux, Windows, and
+Mac OS X, Tomboy allows users to jot down notes quickly and easily,
+but also has rich functionality and a plugin architecture that enables
+more detailed note-taking.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Tomboy Online allows users to view, edit, and synchronize their
+Tombody notes online. Tomboy Online is powered by Snowy, a Web
+application written in Python on the Django Web framework and licensed
+under the Affero General Public License (AGPL). The AGPL is key to
+ensuring user freedom via Web services, so that any implementation of
+Snowy (like Tomboy Online) will be open and provide users with full
+source code on demand. Tomboy users can take full advantage of the
+convenience of Web applications while still enjoying the freedoms
+they've come to expect from the GNOME desktop and application stack.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"The GNOME Project is thinking hard about how to ensure user freedom
+in the face of highly functional and ubiquitious Web applications,"
+said Stormy Peters, Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation. "While
+GNOME already provides a user-friendly and full-featured desktop and
+application set, users are embracing online services en masse. The
+GNOME Project wants to continue protecting user freedom and providing
+quality tools via online services, and Tomboy Online is just one of
+the ways we can do that."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The launch comes the same week as Software Freedom Day, an annual
+celebration of Free Software. Free and open source software advocates
+around the world work focus on Software Freedom Day to demonstrate
+software and spread the word through events and demonstrations.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Tomboy Online is currently in limited alpha while the service
+undergoes extensive testing. The beta phase does not yet have a firm
+date, but availability is expected near the launch of GNOME 3.0.
+</p>
+
