GNOME
The GNOME desktop is used by millions of people around the world. GNOME is a standard part of all leading Linux and Unix distributions, and is popular with both large existing corporate deployments and millions of small business and home users worldwide.
Igalia has been increasing its involvement in the GNOME community since its foundation more than seven years ago, contributing with code and documentation to various components and applications, and sponsoring and organizing different GNOME events, including international conferences. We are members of the Advisory Board of GNOME, where we help providing our vision about the platform.
In May 2003, the Fisterra project, a framework for developing business applications using GNOME, was published by Igalia. The company has also helped public administrations to increase use of free software and GNOME, and developed or evolved different pieces of software that were required to allow this adoption.
Igalia has applied all its previous experience on free software, Fisterra, and GNOME to the mobile market, performing several projects for relevant international companies, with platforms such as Maemo, Moblin or the new Meego.
