我在家使用的 Linux PC 上采用 GNOME 作为我主要的桌面环境。GNOME 提供了方便易用的图形化桌面，不仅具备我所需的灵活性，而且在我专注工作时不会妨碍我的操作。


最近 GNOME 发布了 GNOME 44，引入了许多新功能。我联系了 GNOME 团队，咨询了最新版本的新特性和改进。以下是品牌经理 Caroline Henriksen、GNOME 开发者和发布团队成员 Matthias Clasen，以及设计团队成员 Allan Day 分享的信息。


### GNOME 的新特性


**Jim Hall：** 在 GNOME 44 中，有哪些令你们最为兴奋的新功能和更新的功能？


**GNOME 团队：** 我们非常期待全新的、现代化的用户界面设计，这不仅体现在核心应用如 “<ruby> <a href="https://opensource.com/article/22/12/linux-file-manager-gnome">  文件 </a> <rt>  Files </rt></ruby>”应用（文件管理器，即 Nautilus），还包括 “<ruby> 设置 <rt>  Settings </rt></ruby>” 应用，在上一个开发循环中我们对其中的很多面板做了大量改进。如果你有机会，欢迎试用全新的 “<ruby> 鼠标和触控板 <rt>  Mouse &amp; Touchpad </rt></ruby>” 设置面板，享受其中的动态插图。


GNOME 44 中有很多让人惊喜的功能。比如，文件选择器中全新的网格视图一定会让很多人感到惊喜，同时你也可以通过快速设置中的全新蓝牙菜单轻松地连接设备。


**Jim**：发布说明提到了 GNOME Circle，同时增加了几个新应用程序。请问 GNOME Circle 是什么？


**团队**：GNOME Circle 是一组优秀的应用程序，它们使用了 GNOME 平台。GNOME Circle 是 GNOME 推广使用我们技术的最佳应用程序，并支持应用程序开发人员的一个项目。


为了被纳入 GNOME Circle，一个应用程序必须满足一组要求。一旦满足要求，开发人员就可以获得额外的公众宣传、GNOME 基金会会员资格，以及访问其他基础设施和旅行赞助支持。有关详细信息和如何申请，请参阅 [GNOME Circle](https://circle.gnome.org/) 页面。


我们非常高兴看到 GNOME Circle 取得了巨大的成功。目前，它已经包含了超过 50 个应用程序！我特别喜欢其中不是所有的应用程序都与计算机有关，你可以找到健康跟踪器、节拍器或象棋钟等应用程序。


**Jim**：GNOME 是几个 Linux 发行版的标准桌面环境。我们可以在哪里看到 GNOME 44？


**团队**：已经发布的 Fedora 38 版本包含 GNOME 44。Ubuntu 23.04 也包含 GNOME 44。而且，GNOME 44 构建已经在一些主要的发行版中出现，例如 openSUSE 的 Tumbleweed 和 MicroOS 等。


### GNOME 社区


**Jim：** GNOME 44 的发布名称是 Kuala Lumpur，请问这个名字的来源是什么？


**团队：** GNOME 每年都有两个重要的大型会议，[GUADEC](https://events.gnome.org/event/101/) 是在年中举办的（下一届会议将于 2023 年 7 月在拉脱维亚举行），[GNOME Asia](https://events.gnome.org/event/100/) 则在年末举行。我们非常感谢马来西亚的本地团队在 <ruby> 吉隆坡 <rt>  Kuala Lumpur </rt></ruby> 为我们举办 2022 年的 GNOME Asia 活动。


组织这些活动需要 GNOME 的工作人员和当地团队投入大量的精力和承诺。作为对他们的感激之意，我们会将 GNOME 的发布版本以最近大会的地点命名。这个命名方案是几年前引入的。GNOME 3.18 的发布名称 <ruby> 哥德堡 <rt>  Gothenburg </rt></ruby> 就是第一个采用这种方式命名的版本。


**Jim：** GNOME 拥有一个充满活力的用户社区，有很多积极的成员。那么，GNOME 是如何保持社区的积极参与的呢？


**团队：** GNOME 一直以来都是一个以社区为驱动的项目，具有强烈的协作和包容性。这也是成为 GNOME 贡献者和用户的回报之一。成为 GNOME 社区的一员，意味着你可以与来自全世界的人进行互动，共同实现目标并交流想法。这是一种丰富而鼓舞人心的体验，这也是我们的社区保持热情和积极性的原因之一。


我们提高社区参与度的一个重要手段是，尽可能地满足社区用户的需求，使我们的活动对世界各地的人来说更易于参加。例如，我们的旗舰会议 GUADEC 去年在墨西哥的 <ruby> 瓜达拉哈拉 <rt>  Guadalajara </rt></ruby> 举行，这是自欧洲以外的地方举办的第一个 GUADEC 会议，这有助于增加拉丁美洲的 GNOME 用户和贡献者的参与度。


此外，我们还努力不仅在我们自己的会议和活动中，而且在其他活动如 Linux Application Summit、FOSDEM 或 [SCaLE](https://opensource.com/tags/scale) 中与我们的社区成员见面。如果你在这些活动中看到 GNOME 的展台，请过来打个招呼。通常你会发现，开发人员、设计师、基金会工作人员以及理事会成员都很乐意聊天和回答问题。


### 如何参与 GNOME


**Jim：** 如何开始编写自己的 GNOME 应用程序呢？如果我想学习如何编写我的第一个 GNOME “Hello World” 应用程序，有没有可以供我参考的教程？


**团队：** [开始为 GNOME 开发应用程序](https://developer.gnome.org/) 网站包括一系列教程，其中包括快速创建你的第一个应用程序的指南。随着 [Flatpak](https://opensource.com/article/21/5/launch-flatpaks-linux-terminal) 和 GNOME Builder 等新技术的出现，如今创建自己的应用程序变得非常容易。打开 Builder，单击 “<ruby> 新项目 <rt>  new project </rt></ruby>”，填写一些细节，就可以拥有自己的运行中的 GNOME 应用程序。确实如此简单。


**Jim：** 参与者可以通过哪些方式做出贡献呢？


**团队：** 如果有人对 GNOME 产生了兴趣，并有动力参与其中，那么他们可以做很多事情来帮助我们。如果你是初学者，参与我们 Discourse 实例上的讨论或报告问题是一个很好的开始。还有很多非技术性工作需要完成，比如帮助我们的文档、将 GNOME 翻译成不同的语言，甚至帮助组织我们的年度会议。许多这些活动都有友好的团队进行协作，他们会帮助你入门。


或者，如果你有编码经验，你可以浏览我们的 [“新手”任务](https://gitlab.gnome.org/dashboard/issues?scope=all&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=4.%20Newcomers)，寻找你感兴趣的任务。


另一个贡献的方式是通过对 GNOME 的 [捐赠](https://www.gnome.org/donate/)。作为一个开源项目和非营利基金会，定期的捐赠可以帮助我们继续建设 GNOME，提供必要的基础设施，以及支持新的倡议。

OK
I use GNOME as my primary desktop environment on my Linux PC at home. GNOME gives me an easy-to-use graphical desktop that provides the flexibility I need yet doesn't get in my way when I focus on my work.

GNOME recently released GNOME 44 with a bunch of new features. I reached out to the GNOME team to ask about the latest version and what was in it. Here's what team members Caroline Henriksen (brand manager), Matthias Clasen (GNOME developer and release team member), and Allan Day (design team) had to share.

## New GNOME features

**Jim Hall:** What are some of the new and updated features in GNOME 44 that you're most excited about?

**GNOME Team:** I am very excited to see how fresh and modern our user interfaces look. Not just in the core apps like [Files](https://opensource.com/article/22/12/linux-file-manager-gnome) (the file manager, Nautilus) but also in our Settings, which have seen a lot of work in the last cycle—many Settings panels have been improved. If you have a chance, you should try the new Mouse & Touchpad panel and enjoy the animated illustrations.

There's a lot to like in GNOME 44. For example, I think that a lot of people are going to be really happy about the new grid view in the file chooser, as well as being able to easily connect devices from the new Bluetooth menu in the quick settings.

**Jim:** The release notes mention GNOME Circle and that a few new apps have been added. What is GNOME Circle?

**Team:** GNOME Circle is a collection of fantastic apps that use the GNOME platform. It's GNOME's way of promoting the best apps that use our technologies and supporting app developers.

To be included in GNOME Circle, an app has to meet a set of requirements. Once it does, the developers get things like extra publicity and GNOME Foundation membership. That, in turn, gives them access to additional infrastructure and travel sponsorship. More information and how to apply can be found on the [GNOME Circle](https://circle.gnome.org/) page.

We're thrilled with how successful GNOME Circle has been. It contains more than 50 apps now! I particularly like that not all of these apps revolve around computing. You can find apps like a health tracker, a metronome, or a chess clock.

**Jim:** GNOME is the standard desktop in several Linux distributions. Where can we expect to see GNOME 44?

**Team:** The upcoming Fedora 38 release will include GNOME 44 and should be out sometime in April, as will Ubuntu 23.04. And GNOME 44 builds have already landed in openSUSE's Tumbleweed and MicroOS, to name just a few of the major distros.


## The GNOME community

**Jim:** The release name for GNOME 44 is Kuala Lumpur. Where does this name come from?

**Team:** GNOME has two major yearly conferences, [GUADEC](https://events.gnome.org/event/101/) in the middle of the year (the next conference will take place in Latvia in July 2023) and [GNOME Asia](https://events.gnome.org/event/100/) towards the end of the year. We are very thankful to the local team in Malaysia who welcomed us for GNOME Asia 2022 in Kuala Lumpur.

Organizing these events takes a lot of effort and commitment from the GNOME staff and the local teams. As a small sign of our appreciation, GNOME releases are named after the location of the most recent conference. This naming scheme was introduced a number of years ago. GNOME 3.18, Gothenburg, was the first.

**Jim:** GNOME has a strong user community with active members. How does GNOME keep the community so engaged?

**Team:** GNOME has always been a community-driven project with a strong sense of collaboration and inclusivity. That's part of what makes being a GNOME contributor and user so rewarding. Being a member of the GNOME community means that you get to interact with people from all over the world to work on common goals and exchange ideas. It is an enriching and inspiring experience, and I think that is what helps keep our community excited and engaged.

One important aspect of fostering that engagement is meeting our community where they're at and making our events more accessible to people from all over the world. For example, our flagship conference, GUADEC, was hosted in Guadalajara, Mexico, last year. This was the first time GUADEC happened outside of Europe, and this helped make it easier for GNOME users and contributors in Latin America to attend.

We also make an effort to meet our community members not just online and at our own conferences but at other events such as Linux Application Summit, FOSDEM, or [SCaLE](https://opensource.com/tags/scale). If you see a GNOME booth at any of these events, please stop by and say hi. You'll often find developers, designers, foundation staff, and board members all happy to chat and answer questions.

## Get involved with GNOME

**Jim:** How can folks get started with writing their own apps for GNOME? If I wanted to learn how to write my first "hello world" app for GNOME, is there a tutorial I can follow?

**Team:** The [Get started developing for GNOME](https://developer.gnome.org/) site includes a collection of tutorials, including a guide on quickly creating your first app. With new technologies like [Flatpak](https://opensource.com/article/21/5/launch-flatpaks-linux-terminal) and GNOME Builder, it's amazing just how easy it is to create your own app nowadays. Fire up Builder, click "new project," fill in some details, and you'll have your own running GNOME app. It really is that easy.

**Jim:** What are some ways that people can contribute?

**Team:** If someone is interested in GNOME and is motivated to get involved, there are definitely things they can do to help. Participating in discussions on our Discourse instance or reporting issues is a great place to start if you're a beginner. There are also lots of non-technical jobs that need doing, like helping with our documentation, translating GNOME into different languages, or even helping organize our annual conferences. A lot of these activities have friendly teams working on them who will help you to get started.

Alternatively, if you have coding experience, you can browse our ["newcomer" tickets](https://gitlab.gnome.org/dashboard/issues?scope=all&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=4.%20Newcomers) for tasks that might interest you.

Another way to contribute is through [donating to GNOME](https://www.gnome.org/donate/). As an open source project and a non-profit foundation, regular donations help us continue to build up GNOME, provide necessary infrastructure, and power new initiatives.
