Hi. I was having a discussion about GNOME at work last week
about who wrote it; My understanding was that Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena
wrote gnome in august 1997, with red hat taking active
interest/funding/development assistance in jan 1998. But someone stated I
was wrong; that GNU wrote GNOME. I dont have the full answer, but i’m
curious. I suspect Miguel and Federico started writing it and then submitted it
to GNU to add to the GNU Project. I found Miguel’s home page but it
doesn’t mention GNU (other than maybe the G in GNOME stands for GNU). But
I also found a page from GNU stating they started the project. Could someone please confirm the origins for me and the
relationship between GNU and GNOME? Thank you. |
