The purpose for it's creation is to allow computer users of all types to have a free user-friendly environment as well as a dynamic development framework for software developers. Thus, allowing users to have as much power over their own personal desktops, software and ultimately their information/files. > > GNOME is renowned worldwide. This software has been translated into a various languages and is one of the most comprehensible software available w/out any major restraints to present or future users. This conference will feature some of the best developers/ minds in the computer world, namely Richard Stallman (coined the father of free software and founder of the GNU project) and Mr. David Sugar (founder of OST and chair the DOTGNU committee). Borough President Marty Markowitz and Congressman Anthony Weiner have been invited to this conference, however they have not confirmed their attendance. Together with the other attendees, this conference hopes to highlight all GNOME program developments/ functions and simultaneously garner new ideas from participants. > > > If there are any further questions please feel free to contact me at extension 5528. > > Have a pleasant day. > > >
