Robert McQueen describessome initiatives being taken by the GNOME Foundation to attract moreusers and developers to the platform.

There are many different threats to free access to computing andinformation in today's world. The GNOME desktop and apps need togive users convenient and reliable access to technology which workssimilarly to the tools they already use everyday, but keeps themand their data safe from surveillance, censorship, filtering orjust being completely cut off from the Internet. We believe that wecan seek both philanthropic and grant funding for this work. Itwill make GNOME a more appealing and comprehensive offering for themany people who want to protect their privacy.
