GNOME is a brand that promotes software freedom and brings together companies, volunteers, professionals, and non-profits from around the world. Led by the non-profit GNOME Foundation, our board is democratically elected, and technical decisions are made by the engineers doing the work. We are supported by many organizations, with employees from over a hundred companies contributing to the project.

We believe in the development of software in the open and our development infrastructure and communication channels are public. Our code can be freely downloaded, modified, and shared with others. All our contributors have the same rights.

As an important part of the Free Software ecosystem, we collaborate with other free projects to create high-quality solutions that span the entire software stack. Our software is people-focused, translated into many languages, and comes with built-in accessibility features. This ensures that it can be used by anyone, regardless of language or physical abilities.
