Muva nje i-GNOME Foundation imemezele “Inselele Yezemfundo Yokubhala Ngekhodi”, Umcimbi wezigaba ezintathu wokunikeza abafundi nothisha ithuba lokwabelana ngemibono namaphrojekthi amasha okufundisa ukuhlela kusetshenziswa isofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile.
Ngezimali (kanye nomklomelo kwabawinile), Okungapheli unikele ngezinkulungwane ezingama-500 zamaRandi ukuze kuthuthukiswe umncintiswano futhi ukwenze kukhange nakakhulu kubafundi nakothisha emhlabeni jikelele. Ingxenye yesigidi samadola iyisibalo esikhangayo ngempela emaqenjini (noma abantu) asezindaweni zokuqala.
Okungapheli yinkampani ekhona kakhulu emphakathini wezobuchwepheshe emhlabeni jikelele. Umgomo wayo oyinhloko uwukusiza izingane zibe nokufinyelela kwedijithali futhi zisebenzise ithuba lakho. Phakathi kwamanye amaphrojekthi anokusabalalisa Okungapheli Amakhompuyutha amancane e-OS ne-Linux abawahwebayo ukuze basize amaphrojekthi abo okufundisa.
Enkulumweni yabezindaba, uNeil McGovern, oyi-CEO ye-GNOME Foundation uthe ukujabulele ukuthi u-Endless ujoyinile:
"Sijabulile ukubona ukuthi yini esingayithola lapho sisekela umcabango nokudala komphakathi wethu womhlaba. Sibheke ngabomvu ubambiswano oluqinile lwabafundi bethu nothisha ukuze bahlole amathuba e-software ebanzi neyahlukahlukene. Ukufinyelela ezizukulwaneni ezintsha kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ikusasa lesofthiwe yamahhala eminyakeni ezayo."
Kufika ku-$100,000 kwabawinile
Ukwengeza, esimemezelweni nasemnikelweni, okungenalo ulwazi oluningi, kuyaziwa ukuthi noma ubani - iqembu noma umuntu - angathumela isiphakamiso sakhe ukuze abe yingxenye yomncintiswano.
Kuye kwanqunywa ukuthi esigabeni sokuqala Kuzoba nabawinile abangama-20 abazothola ama- $ 6,500 ngombono wabo ngamunye.
Esigabeni sesibili, abawinile kuzofanele bakhe umfanekiso osebenzayo wombono wabo futhi abahlanu kuphela abakhethiwe abazodlulela emzuliswaneni wesithathu, ngamunye athole umklomelo ka-$25,000.
Esigabeni sokugcina, umkhiqizo owenziwe nge-prototype uzokwakhiwa ngenguqulo yawo ephelele futhi kuzoba nabaphumelele ababili kuphela. Abaphumelele abathathu bazothola ama- $ 3, ngenkathi abawinile ababili bazothola u-$2 ngamunye. Uma ufuna ukwazi yonke imininingwane yalo mncintiswano ungakwazi faka lesi sixhumanisi.
