GUADEC 2022 has kicked off In Guadalajara Mexico, and like previous years Codethink is one of the proud sponsors of the GNOME conference.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of GNOME and it will be the first in-person GUADEC in 2 years, so we expect it to be a week of celebration as hundreds of users, contributors, community members, and enthusiastic supporters get together to celebrate GNOME and free software.
What is GNOME?
“GNOME is a free and open-source software environment project supported by a non-profit foundation. Together, the community of contributors and the Foundation create a computing platform and software ecosystem, composed entirely of free software, that is designed to be elegant, efficient, and easy to use.”
Codethink and GNOME:
Codethink has been attached to GNOME since its creation, when the company was made up of a group of GNOME hackers helping other companies to use GNOME technologies
Since then Codethink has grown but we continue to contribute and support what we consider one of the communities that is pushing forward the improvement and growth of the Linux and FOSS ecosystem in general.
Some examples of recent projects we have done related with GNOME:
- Help develop the next generation build integration tooling to help with different GNOME artifacts like flatpak runtimes, GNOME OS, releases, etc: See our article about the introduction of BuildStream
- Some work trying to improve the quality of GNOME OS releases using openQA and other tooling: See the article about how we setup openQA in GNOME
- Several RISC-V related projects, porting GNOME OS to run on different boards in this new exciting open source ISA: We wrote an article about how we run GNOME OS in the SiFive Unmatched and another about running GNOME OS in the Microchip icicle board
- Implement mirroring solution to make GNOME builds more reliable if upstream disappear: See why we setup lorry in GNOME infra
- For other GNOME related articles, please check our GNOME tag
We wish GNOME the best and wish the community a very happy anniversary!
