   To all GNU maintainers and other GNUs
				-- Georg Greve


Hi Everyone !

In a few days I will be starting to write my first "Brave GNU World"
column. The plan is to make this a monthly column that informs about
internal developments of the GNU Project and things of importance to
us as well as a way of conveying the philosophy to the broad public.

The column will be online on the GNU homepage in English and German
and the "Linux Magazin", Germanys biggest GNU/Linux magazine will be
printing it.

It is intended to turn this into a forum for all GNU projects. Richard
and I agreed that it would be good if all GNU maintainers wrote little
"status reports" once in a while that could be used for the column to
keep people interested and updated.

So if you have a GNU Project and would like to improve its profile,
send mail to:

	"Brave GNU World <column AT gnu DOT org>"


Some examples on what to send to this account are:

* Announcements besides the normal, like "future plans" for some
  projects and "big announcements"

* If a project needs volunteers for something

* If you think something doesn't get enough publicity at the moment

* If there is a project that needs to be done right now but noone
  could be found to work on it yet

* Whatever you think could be useful to be made public...


I'm always open for ideas and suggestions so don't hesitate to contact 
the above address.
