I’m happy today.

OpenedHand, Imendio and Fluendo have all announced that they’ve joined the GNOME Foundation advisory board.

As well as bringing new blood into that group, and with luck revitalising our communication with companies supporting GNOME, these are 3 companies which have grown out of our community – founded by GNOME hackers, thriving developing free software for and with GNOME (and, in the case of Fluendo, infrastructure for a whole platform).

In other news, Vincent Untz sent out a release announcing the creation of gnome-fr, a French non-profit to promote GNOME among French speakers. The association has massive potential. There is a really cool and vibrant community of GNOME French speakers, and I wish them (us) well.

For both these reasons, which show what’s great about the GNOME community, I’m happy today.
