      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 stuff like copyright of their name and icons and all that jazz.

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

      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.

      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 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 or use one of the dozen other desktop environments.

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