      It’s probably best to assume that since that funding was provided to be used with a specific focus, they didn’t (and/or couldn’t) use it for the Foundation’s maintenance.

      Likely earmarked for development.

      And Gnome Foundation handles non-development stuff, like hackathons, Guadec, community outreach, liaising with other projects/governments/companies, etc. not to mention boring legal stuff like copyright of their name and icons and all that jazz.

      It’s basically the non-development part of the project.

      You know, they were too busy wasting money on reinventing the wheel and coming up with “a vision” to be able to sort their budget.

        We get it, you don’t like gnome. That doesn’t mean they waste money. Some of us like the desktop gasps

        Wasting? Gnome is amazing. Money and time extremely well spent.

        I get that some people hate that Gnome isn’t another WinUX desktop, but they need to get over it. Either accept it and adapt to a more modern workflow, add an extension like Dash to Panel, or use one of the dozen other desktop environments, most of which are designed with a WinUX or something similar.

        I also don’t really see why you’re putting quotes around vision lol. Every project has a vision.
