Spending figures are based on the GNOME Foundation 2026-2027 budget, which is in effect from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027.
Figures represent the total cost to the organisation, taking program-specific revenue into account. For example, conference costs are reduced due to the sponsorships that they receive, which is reflected in these figures.
