+author: "Geert Hauwaerts"

+
+The [GNOME](http://www.gnome.org) foundation [trademark is under
+attack](http://www.gnome.org/groupon) by well funded corporate interests.
+
+As a fellow open source project with a vibrant and passionate user and
+contributor community, we feel strongly about this issue.
+
+We will not stand by idly while corporate bullies are trying to water down
+the value and image of open-source projects and their communities, create
+confusion, and spread FUD.
+
+To this end, our core contributors have [donated 1,000 USD](/images/gnome.png)
+to the GNOME Foundation defense fund; we encourage you to do the same!
+
