GNOME Publishes Draft Of Five-Year Strategic Plan

([GNOME] 4 Hours Ago GNOME's Five Year Plan)


The GNOME Foundation has published a draft copy of their five-year strategic plan that calls for more around the community, DEI, services, a more streamlined and inclusive annual event, and strengthening the foundation.

The GNOME Foundation has published a draft of their five-year strategic plan in hopes of soliciting more feedback from the community and stakeholders. There are three strategic goals with three objectives each, they include:

"Create Explosive Growth of Our Community of Creators and Users"

- Unify our “inward” community around a shared vision

- Relate to bigger “outward” world by making GNOME directly relevant and attractive to many more diverse people

- Increase commercial and economic value of GNOME

"Create Unified, Integrated Suite of Programs, Services, & Processes"

- Consciously integrate our technologies and services

- Strengthen critical weaknesses in IT infrastructure and security

- Reorganize our events into a streamlined, more inclusive annual event

"Strengthen & stabilize GNOME Foundation as nonprofit organization"

- Claim and Document Our Impact and Value

- Double the annual expense and revenue budget of the GNOME Foundation

- Prioritize the health and well-being of the foundation itself

Those wanting to go through all of the plan details in full can find their draft five-year plan on [1]GNOME.org .

The Worst Car Hire Service
When David Schwartz left university in 1972, he set up Rent-a-wreck
as a joke. Being a natural prankster, he acquired a fleet of beat-up
shabby, wreckages waiting for the scrap heap in California.
He put on a cap and looked forward to watching people's faces as he
conducted them round the choice of bumperless, dented junkmobiles.
To his lasting surprise there was an insatiable demand for them and
he now has 26 thriving branches all over America. "People like driving
round in the worst cars available," he said. Of course they do.
"If a driver damages the side of a car and is honest enough to
admit it, I tell him, `Forget it'. If they bring a car back late we
overlook it. If they've had a crash and it doesn't involve another vehicle
we might overlook that too."
"Where's the ashtray?" asked one Los Angeles wife, as she settled
into the ripped interior. "Honey," said her husband, "the whole car's the
ash tray."
