Hi.

 

I was having a discussion about GNOME at work last week about who wrote it;
My understanding was that Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena wrote gnome in
august 1997, with red hat taking active interest/funding/development
assistance in jan 1998.  But someone stated I was wrong; that GNU wrote
GNOME. I dont have the full answer, but i'm curious. I suspect Miguel and
Federico started writing it and then submitted it to GNU to add to the GNU
Project. I found Miguel's home page but it doesn't mention GNU (other than
maybe the G in GNOME stands for GNU). But I also found a page from GNU
stating they started the project.

 

Could someone please confirm the origins for me and the relationship between
GNU and GNOME?

 

Thank you.
