* * GNOME if you want to

Boasting a revamped development and release structure, an upcoming 
instalment of its desktop environment in March, and a raft of new 
applications for future releases, the GNOME project is pushing to ensure 
free and open source software earns its place in the global desktop space.

According to GNOME release team head Jeff Waugh, who gave a presentation 
at the Linux.conf.au 2004 conference last week, the GNOME project has 
undergone a major facelift over the past 12 months. This has included 
switching to a time-based release schedule, starting with its 2.x 
series, as well as redefining the project's social structure into module 
maintainers, a release team, and an administrative and advisory 
foundation board.

As a result of its more 'cut and dried' structure, the release team for 
GNOME is also on track to issue the next instalment of GNOME version 2.6 
in March this year, Waugh said. The release, now in beta testing, will 
include several new features, such as the introduction of the latest 
graphical user interface toolkit release GTK 2.4, as well as ongoing 
compatibility with API (Application Programming Interface) and ABI 
(Application Binary Interface). GNOME 2.6 will also support Evolution 
Dataserver version 2.0, which provides real-time, read-write access to 
calendar and contacts data from the desktop.

The project's development team is also working on the prototypes of 
value-added packages for GNOME version 2.8 and beyond. These range from 
application plug-ins to a collaboration station for its desktop stack, 
allowing users to interact with their network and database solutions 
through a variety of interchangeable interfaces off the desktop.
