This year brought great improvements to #accessibility in GNOME, including:

• Accessibility from the start on the login screen
• Full accessibility of GNOME Web
• Tons of improvements to Calendar
• Screen reader integration for Notifications
• Configure #Orca screen reader from Settings
• GTK apps integrated w/Windows & macOS accessibility

Help us reach 1,500 #FriendsOfGNOME so we can focus on accessibility even more in 2026!

GNOME

@moshimotsu 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 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!

@moshimotsu To the crowd, this is deeply saddening because the reminder is the only way we can reach folks that do not participate as an enthusiast. For instance, the parent that had their computer installed by one of their kids. They are not participating in social media or in spaces that enthusiasts are. A gentle reminder that this is a community and we need their support is perfectly reasonable.
