Hi. I was having a discussion about GNOME at work last week
about who wrote it; My understanding was that Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena wrote gnome in august 1997, with
red hat taking active interest/funding/development assistance in jan 1998. But
someone stated I was wrong; that GNU wrote GNOME. I dont have the full answer,
but i’m curious. I suspect Miguel and Federico started writing it and
then submitted it to GNU to add to the GNU Project. I found Miguel’s home
page but it doesn’t mention GNU (other than maybe the G in GNOME stands
for GNU). But I also found a page from GNU stating they started the project. Could someone please confirm the origins for
me and the relationship between GNU and GNOME? Thank you. |
