I’m your host Nick and this is the show where we discuss everything related to Linux, open source, the open web, privacy and everything around those spaces. So in today’s episode we have GNOME or at least the GNOME Foundation announcing a five year plan to get more funding, to get more people on board, to get more users for GNOME. We have Windows and Microsoft announcing a new feature called Recall which looks like a privacy and security nightmare. We have Qualcomm potentially beating Apple’s latest chip in their own ARM CPUs which have full mainstream Linux support or at least they are working on that full mainstream support. We have the first inklings of AI legislation passed in the EU. We have some news about Ubuntu and some problems they might start having with GNOME. We have some big progress on Plasma and a bunch of other things. So as always if you want to learn more about any of these topics all the links that I used are in the show notes and if you don’t really like waiting for the end of the week to get these news well you can also get them in daily format from Monday to Friday if you become a Patreon member the link is in the description of the show as well. So now let’s get started. So GNOME has published a first draft of their five year plan or at least the GNOME Foundation did that. They published it to get a bit of feedback from the community, from developers, from users and other interested parties who might ship or might want to ship GNOME or to even just fund the foundation. So they divided this plan into three big goals each having three separate objectives. So the first big goal is to have explosive growth of the community of what they call creators and users. I guess creators mean developers here, developers for GNOME but also for GNOME applications, maybe extensions and everything around GNOME. The three sub-objectives are first to unify the community around the shared vision. I think that’s something GNOME has kind of already did. They do have their own vision of what a desktop environment is. They have been pushing hard for this and yes some people did not like this vision but at least the community around GNOME right now is focused on the same goals and it seems to be working for app developers at least because they have the biggest and best ecosystem for third-party apps on any other desktop environment. The second sub-goal is to make GNOME relevant and attractive to more diverse people and probably this means accessibility, making GNOME something that everyone can use no matter if they are fully able, if they have disabilities, no matter what everyone should be able to use GNOME and they are already working on that with their new accessibility framework. And finally they also want to increase the commercial and economic value of GNOME. Now this one I don’t really know wh
