GNOME could not exist without its supporting community. The project consists of many teams of contributors who volunteer their time to help advance the free desktop. Are you interested in helping with engagement, translation, documentation or coding? We have guides and friendly people to help you get started. With your help, free software and GNOME can continue to grow.
