Anonymous donor pledges $1M over two years

[Neil McGovern <neil gnome org>]

Hi all,

An anonymous donor has pledged to donate up to $1,000,000 over the next
two years, some of which will be matching funds. I'm grateful for this
donation and we plan on using these funds to increase staff to
streamline operations and to grow support of the GNOME Project and the
surrounding ecosystem.

While we have maintained our position as a proponent of the GNOME
Project, growth has been limited. With these funds, the Foundation will
be able to expand and lead in the free software space.

Details about the donation and the areas of investment will be
announced individually in the coming weeks.

Thanks,
Neil
