The GNOME Foundation has published a draft of their five-year strategic plan in hopes of soliciting more feedback from the community and stakeholders. There are three strategic goals with three objectives each, they include:
"Create Explosive Growth of Our Community of Creators and Users"
- Unify our “inward” community around a shared vision
- Relate to bigger “outward” world by making GNOME directly relevant and attractive to many more diverse people
- Increase commercial and economic value of GNOME
"Create Unified, Integrated Suite of Programs, Services, & Processes"
- Consciously integrate our technologies and services
- Strengthen critical weaknesses in IT infrastructure and security
- Reorganize our events into a streamlined, more inclusive annual event
"Strengthen & stabilize GNOME Foundation as nonprofit organization"
- Claim and Document Our Impact and Value
- Double the annual expense and revenue budget of the GNOME Foundation
- Prioritize the health and well-being of the foundation itself
