our issue tracker can get flooded with spam as it is, so a completely anonymous issue reporting flow would only multiply the issue—leading to developers spending all of their time drowning in spam and no time actually developing things. We’re sorry if that is inconvenient for you.
If you'd like to share your problem here (or on Matrix), someone can report it on your behalf.

Do you know that some companies will match your volunteer hours with GNOME providing $10-$25 per hour to the GNOME Foundation? Some can offer up to $15k/year.
If you have volunteered for GNOME, this is a great way to help #GNOME additionally through your efforts.

Last week, for Digital Wellbeing we merged features that allow parents to better set their kids screen time by not allowing kids to unlock the screen and allow parents to extend screen time as needed!
Digital Wellbeing helps parents encourage safe and healthy habits for their kids. These are features that are funded by the GNOME Foundation. #DigitalWellbeing #FriendsofGNOME

We've amended our prior toot as the idea behind was not being well communicated.

#GNOME supports a lot of foundational technologies that are widely used. Did you know that libxml2 is in every smart tv for the past 15 years?
If you are a company or individual that uses libxml2, consider donating to the GNOME Foundation so we can help make maintenance of these software sustainable for everyone to use.

We are working in having more options available. However, it is hard to have payment methods for everyone.

Top 5 #accessibility improvements in #GNOME Calendar 49:
1. Focus indicators were added in various places
2. Events are focusable with a keyboard
3. Year/month spin buttons are navigable with arrow keys
4. Calendar grids are skippable with Tab, and cells are wrapped via keyboard focus
5. Calendar list box now behaves like a check box
For screen readers: events and year/month spin buttons have proper semantics!

One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!
Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: https://donate.gnome.org
If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/
Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.

it is also patched out or disabled in some popular Linux distributions, which can affect its success; we’re chatting with folks from those distros to see if we can work something out together.

we introduced the desktop notification in the latest release (GNOME 49), so only folks running the very latest will see it. But yes, we started with zero #FriendsOfGNOME through the new https://donate.gnome.org and are now at 777 recurring donors!
We don’t currently track the source of donations (e.g. whether someone is coming from the notification versus social media or the GNOME.org site), so it’s hard to attribute it all to the desktop notification, but we consider it successful!
