Hi GNOME fans,

We are excited to tell you that today we launch our new Friends of
GNOME program. Now supporters can sign up to help the GNOME Foundation
with recurring $10/month donations.

Friends of GNOME is a way for individuals to support the GNOME
project's mission of providing a free and open source desktop for
everyone regardless of ability. With no advertising or outreach, we've
raised anywhere from $6,000 to $20,000 a year from generous
individuals.That money has contributed to the funds for hackfests,
local events and programs which in turn have enabled the GNOME project
to create an internationalized, accessible and easy to use desktop
software for both traditional desktops and for mobile devices.

People have requested an easier, more consistent way to donate and we
hope our $10/month program will fill that need. We will use the
additional funds raised to continue to support our volunteer community
in accomplishing our mission of a free and open source desktop for
everyone regardless of abilities.

The GNOME project depends on volunteer support from corporations and
individuals. Support of both time and money. Please consider signing
up for Friends of GNOME today and spreading the word!

Best,

Stormy
