GNOME Turns 19 Years Old Today
Quote:
Founded back in August of 1997 by two university students, Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena, the GNOME project has since grown into one of the biggest open-source projects in the world.
Icaza and Quintero’s aim was to create an open-source, free desktop environment that was user-friendly, easy to use, and well designed.
Through a diverse and global community the project gave birth to the GNOME desktop environment and the vibrant software ecosystem that has been built around it.
The first stable version of the GNOME desktop arrived on March 3, 1999. In 2000 the GNOME Foundation was set up to handle the growing interest in, direction and administration of the GNOME project.
