Infrastructure

GNOME hosts a range of services on its servers. These services provide the essential infrastructure that is required for GNOME development to take place, and are made available to contributors to use as part of their work on the project.

GNOME infrastructure is maintained by the GNOME Infrastructure Team and is supported by the GNOME Foundation. Volunteers and assistance are welcome.
