Gnome Foundation faces cash crunch over women outreach program |
April 14, 2014
The Gnome Foundation does not have any cash reserves as expenses on a women outreach program had to be made ahead of actually receiving payments from sponsors.As a result of a shortfall in the budget, the board of the foundation, which manages the free and open source Gnome desktop environment project, has voted to “freeze all expenditure which is not essential to the running of the Foundation.”The freeze affects sponsorship expenses which are unpaid at this time, but it does not affect the funds which the foundation holds for other organizations, foundation board member Ekaterina Gerasimova wrote in a post.The Gnome Foundation launched together with other organizations an Outreach Program for Women in a bid to get more women to get involved in FOSS (free and open source software). The OPW program is organized by the foundation.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
