The GNOME Foundation has announced cost optimization measures to balance its income and expenses. In recent years, the organization has been experiencing significant overspending. For instance, in the fiscal year 2023, the foundation received $556,000 but spent $676,000 (an overspend of $120,000); in 2022, it received $363,000 and spent $649,000 (an overspend of $286,000); and in 2021, it received $287,000 and spent $927,000 (an overspend of $640,000). The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors has decided to address this imbalance in the fiscal year 2024 (from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025) to restore the necessary reserve levels in case of unforeseen issues (previous overspending has been compensated by previously accumulated funds). <\/p>\n
To save costs, it has been decided to reduce the staff by eliminating the positions of Creative Director and Director of Community Development. The responsibilities previously held by these employees, such as organizing events, marketing initiatives, conducting fundraising campaigns, and creating graphic designs, will be distributed among the remaining staff. Expenses are also expected to decrease significantly through a reduction in GNOME Foundation-paid travel to various events. Funding for the Linux App Summit, GNOME.Asia, and GUADEC conferences, as well as the maintenance of the gnome.org infrastructure and the Outreach program (paying internships for women and minorities), will remain at previous levels. \n Source: opennet.ru<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
