Short version: GNOME Foundation isn't eligible. Long version: >From the FAQ [1]: Can I nominate the Mozilla Foundation (or any other software foundation)? The MATC awards are designed to honor institutions that are not in the business of developing software, which choose to support open source software development using their own resources, not resources provided to them specifically for that purpose. Consequently, all software foundations (e.g., Mozilla) are ineligible because developing software is their core business. For the same reason, MATC awards do not honor institutions for software development that was performed using outside funds intended for that purpose (e.g., an external grant to develop software), or for using funds that were committed in order to receive outside funds (e.g., "matching" funds). The awards honor institutions that use their own funds--funds that could have been applied to any other institutional need--for the purpose of open source software development.
