The GNOME project is an international effort to create an easy-to-use computing platform built entirely from Free Software. This means creating tools that help developers to write new stand-alone applications, selecting applications for inclusion in the official product, and working on what is known as the desktop environment — the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.

A great deal of software is created or hosted under the umbrella of the GNOME project, some of which is collected and released as GNOME. GNOME is used in conjunction with an operating system, such as a GNU/Linux distribution or Sun Microsystems' Solaris, to create a fully functional computer system.

GNOME is the official desktop of the GNU Project and the correct pronunciation of the name is , although is also in common usage. The name was created as an acronym of GNU Network Object Model Environment, but usage of the full expansion is now considered obsolete.
