Congratulations on a good decision, Bruce. :) > DEBIAN ANNOUNCES $1000 GRANT TO GNOME PROJECT > > The Debian GNU/Linux Distribution is getting enough donations now that we > can support the development of free software. We use most donations for > our own work, but some outside projects are worth funding. > > Debian is awarding $1000 to the GNOME project (see www.gnome.org). They > are building a GUI desktop for Linux and Unix systems. In addition, we > have granted GNOME use of Debian's servers so that they need not spend > any of the $1000 on internet services. We chose the GNOME project > because: > > 1. They are using 100% free software. > 2. They have an excellent design and have shown rapid progress. > 3. They are doing the right thing, and that should be rewarded. > > This won't be the last Debian grant. To qualify for support, all of the > software used by a project must conform to Debian's Free Software Guidelines. > These assure that the software is free for use by _anyone_, not just Debian. > > If you're not familiar with Debian GNU/Linux, check out our web site > http://www.debian.org/ . > > Many Thanks > > Bruce Perens > Debian Project Leader > . > QUIT > > > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . >
