Friends of GNOME planning
Friends of GNOME is our program to enable our community of developers, users and fans to support GNOME financially. In January 2009, we launched a monthly subscription program with an "adopt a hacker" campaign.

Goals

- $20,000 for 2009
- When we announced the sys admin team, we said our goal was to hire a part time system administrator and in order to do so we were trying to raise $50,000 from Friends of GNOME. (Canonical said they'd match $10,000 of that.)
