We’re a non-profit organization that believes in a world where everyone is empowered by technology they can trust. We work towards this world by building a diverse and sustainable free software personal computing ecosystem.
Thank you #miniOrange for generously sponsoring us their Wordpress plugin for SSO authentication!

The sidebar on the left displays several open tabs, including "Notifications — Witchsky," a Discord API error message, and a tab titled "Donate to GNOME" with the URL donate.gnome.org visible in the address bar. The main content area on the right shows a grid of profile icons and names, likely from a contributors or team page. Three profiles are visible in the top row: Luke Kaalim, with a photo of a man in front of sunflowers. Luke Wong, with a default blue avatar. Luna Seemann (or shi.gg; wamellow developer), whose name is highlighted in bright pink. A cartoon animal sticker is partially visible at the bottom right.

# Thank You to Our Global Community
None of this progress would be possible without our contributors, volunteers, organizers, and users, including developers, designers, translators, mentors, and advocates. Your passion and commitment to free software continue to drive GNOME forward.
These gatherings fueled collaboration, nurtured new contributors, and helped shape the roadmap for future GNOME releases and initiatives.
• GNOME LATAM 2025 Aguascalientes, Mexico: our LATAM community organised their annual conference. A space dedicated to collaboration, learning and discussion of Open Source in LATAM.
• GUADEC 2025 in Brescia, Italy: our flagship annual conference that brought together contributors, maintainers, students, and partners from across the globe.
# Community at the Heart
We also hosted and participated in key events this year that strengthened our global ties:
• GNOME Asia Summit 2025 in Tokyo, Japan: celebrating community growth and knowledge sharing across Asia.
GNOME 49 is now rolling out across major distributions and will continue powering desktops into 2026.
• Redesigned and more accessible core apps like Calendar and Web with improved performance and features
• Expanded remote desktop capabilities, richer HDR wallpapers, and meaningful workflow improvements across the desktop environment
49 “Brescia”
This September, we officially shipped 49. Highlights include:
• A modern Video Player (Showtime) replacing the legacy Totem, designed for a sleek and distraction-free media experience
• Papers as the new default Document Viewer with enhanced usability across formats
• The debut of Digital Wellbeing features: Screen Time Usage, Screen Limits and Break Reminders.
• 48 includes a number of notable performance improvements. The most significant of these is the introduction of dynamic triple buffering.
• Image Viewer introduces a new image editing feature, which allows cropping, rotating and flipping images.
48 “Bengaluru”
We started 2025 with the release of 48 in march:
• Notification stacking, notifications from the same app are grouped into stacks, each of which can be expanded to reveal individual messages
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on a remarkable year for our community, one defined by innovation, global collaboration, and meaningful contributions from around the world.
# Major Software Milestone:
Our releases represent six months of dedicated work by our vibrant community.
