Robert McQueen describes
some initiatives being taken by the GNOME Foundation to attract more
users and developers to the platform.

There are many different threats to free access to computing and
information in today’s world. The GNOME desktop and apps need to
give users convenient and reliable access to technology which works
similarly to the tools they already use everyday, but keeps them
and their data safe from surveillance, censorship, filtering or
just being completely cut off from the Internet. We believe that we
can seek both philanthropic and grant funding for this work. It
will make GNOME a more appealing and comprehensive offering for the
many people who want to protect their privacy.
