One step closer to a sys admin ...

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

Last April we 
announced that we wanted to hire a system administrator to help with 
some of the day-to-day work necessary to keep thousands of GNOME 
contributors going. I'm really excited to announce that we are really 
close! The GNOME community raised over $20,000 last year from individual
 contributors! In addition, several companies like Canonical, Nokia and 
Google put in matching funds.

In an effort to be more transparent - and to share our excitement - 
we've created a ruler to track our progress towards our goal of hiring a
 system administrator. (And future goals.) You will see it at the top of gnome.org and Planet GNOME.
 

You learn more about our plans for a system administrator on the job
 description page[1].

You can spread the word by adding a Friends
 of GNOME badge to your web page[2].

Thanks, everyone, for all your support!

GNOME rocks!
