>             The GNOME 2.6.0 Desktop and Developer Platform
>             ==============================================
> 
> In a release that marks the fruit of six months of hard work from our
> hackers, maintainers, translators, testers, usability team and
> accessibility team, the GNOME community has done it again: GNOME 2.6.0
> continues the high standards in the areas of usability, accessibility
> and internationalisation that our users expect from the world's Free
> Software desktop.
> 
> This release cycle has been a painful one. During it the GNOME community
> lost three close members: Chema Celorio, Mark Finlay and Ettore
> Perazzoli were valued members of the community and will be sorely
> missed. It is fitting, therefore, that this release is dedicated to
> their memories.
> 
> Extensive information about GNOME 2.6 is in our release notes, linked
> from the 2.6 start page. There's also a huge gallery of cool screenshots
> from our intrepid beta-testers!
> 
> Our time-based release philosophy means there's never long before a new
> major release. The GNOME development team has already started working on
> GNOME 2.8, which will be seeing the light of day in only six months
> time. We are looking forward to bringing our users new and exciting
> developments then...
