Motorola and Google become GNOME sponsors

On November 3rd Google and Motorola joined the organization's advisory board and will sponsors ongoing development of the open source desktop environment. This new funding will be used to facilitate usability studies and improvements to localizations and accessibility. Google has always been a major investor in open source software and Motorola uses the GNOME mobile technologies. The GNOME project is gaining a lot of momentum, especially in the mobile space this new sponsorship proves that Linux is making headway on the desktop on handheld devices. 
This article was very promising that open sources networks are are really opening open to the public. The only problem I had with this article was it seemed to talk about a lot of things and not describe what they meant. I guess this article was intended for someone who knew a little more about open network sources. Overall it was a good article and I did gain a lot of knowledge of some of the open network sources that are available
