GNOME Foundation Annual Report 2007 released!

["Lucas Rocha" <lucasr gnome org>]

Hi all,

Last year, Dave Neary and others started this new tradition by
producing the first GNOME Foundation annual report which has got very
positive response from community. So, we decided to follow the new
tradition by preparing the GNOME Foundation annual report 2007!

I've been slowly working on it for a few months with invaluable
contributions from several people. The report is now available in
GNOME Foundation's website:

  http://foundation.gnome.org/about/gnome_annual_report_2007.pdf (1860 KB, PDF)

We'll soon send nice hard copies of the report to the Advisory Board
members and existing GNOME event boxes. Our plan is to also print a
bunch of extra copies to be used for promoting GNOME on events around
the world. Feel free to request some copies for your local GNOME
event.

This year, we chose Lulu.com as the printing service in order to allow
us to easily print more copies on demand and to make it possible to
anyone to order personal hard copies by just paying for the printing.
You can buy a hard copy of this report directly from Lulu.com here:
