+<h1>3rd GNOME Mobile Summit to be held in Austin</h1>
+<p>
+BOSTON, Mass â April 06, 2008 â 
+The 3rd GNOME Mobile Summit being held as part of the Linux Foundation
+Collaboration Summit in Austin from the 8th to the 10th of April will be
+a forum where industry and community merge into one, enabling effective
+collaboration on adapting the GNOME platform to the needs of mobile
+computing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME Mobile Initiative, which first met at GUADEC, the GNOME Users'
+and Developers' European Conference in 2006 and publicly launched in
+April 2007, is a community effort to ensure that free and open source
+software is optimized for the growing Linux-based mobile device space.
+The Initiative has already had several meetings, both formally and
+informally, and garnered considerable community and industry support.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Dave Neary, the co-ordinator of the GNOME Mobile track at the summit,
+believes that this meeting will accelerate the adoption of the GNOME
+platform on mobile devices. "Members of the GNOME Mobile group have been
+realising the leverage that collaborating closely with a free software
+community can give. Improved time to market, reduced R&amp;D and maintenance
+costs, and above all, a highly performant and capable application
+platform on which to build your applications."</p>
+
+<p>
+Up to this point, the focus has been on co-ordinating integration
+efforts and reducing the amount of code being maintained outside the
+project, but that focus is expected to change as the initiative
+continues to mature and grow.</p>
+
+<p>
+Ross Burton of OpenedHand, recently appointed release manager of the
+initiative, outlines his plans for the future of the project: "We are
+now moving beyond the initial phase of co-operation which consisted in
+people centralising work which they had been doing inside their
+companies to the core products. The next step is a roadmap which will
+systematically address the needs of consumers of the GNOME Mobile
+platform and ensure that the work is done in the community, and the
+creation of a mobile-specific release set of GNOME and GNOME-related
+projects."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+GNOME Mobile has a growing number of members, including industry
+heavyweights such as Nokia, ACCESS and FIC, the support of mobile
+consortia LiPS, the Linux Foundationâs MLI and Moblin, and a growing
+number of independent developers and community projects.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"The GNOME Mobile Initiative is at the heart of almost every important
+open source mobile effort going on in the industry today. The mainstream
+free software technologies such as GTK+, Gstreamer, matchbox and many
+other vibrant community-based projects are the linchpins of efforts like
+the ACCESS Linux Platform, Nokia's Maemo platform, and the LiMo
+Foundation Platform. GNOME Mobile is the leading edge of development for
+the most exciting device space in decades, the rapidly growing world of
+open source-based mobile devices," said David "Lefty" Schlesinger,
+Director of Open Source Technologies for ACCESS Co., Ltd., and a member
+of the LiMo Foundation  Architectural Council.

+<h3>About GNOME and the GNOME Foundation</h3>
+<p>
+GNOME is a free-software project whose goal is to develop a complete,
+accessible and easy to use desktop for Linux and Unix-based operating
+systems. GNOME also includes a complete development environment to
+create new applications. It is released twice a year on a regular
+schedule.
+</p>
+<p>
+The GNOME desktop is used by millions of people around the world. GNOME
+is a standard part of all leading GNU/Linux and Unix distributions, and
+is popular with both large existing corporate deployments and millions
+of small business and home users worldwide.
+</p>
+<p>
+Comprised of hundreds of volunteer developers and industry-leading
+companies, the GNOME Foundation is an organization committed to
+supporting the advancement of GNOME. The Foundation is a member
+directed, non-profit organization that provides financial,
+organizational and legal support to the GNOME project and helps
+determine its vision and roadmap.
