Question for the candidates : money !

Hi my dear candidates, I've a question about GNOME business model and sustanability. As we have seen with the fundrising to hire a sysadmin, money is often a blocking point. The current business model seems to be donations. Do you think that donations are good ? Good enough ? Do you plan to work

I believe that this discussion is becoming far too bloated. How often do we have to deal with offended people? What energy will we spend to deal with each case on a case by case basis? Answer is A. How much energy will we spend to try to design a law/rule that might fit every use case and will b

Oyez, oyez, oyez dear GNOME foundation members! As you should know, the GNOME foundation is run by a board of 7 directors known as "The Board"(1). After 18 months of active duty, it's now time to refresh either the blood or our confidence. Which means : *GNOME Board Elections
