Howdy, The purpose of this email is two-fold:
1) I've snagged the domain gnulinuxlibre.org for a project I'm working on now, a build and test infrastructure written in Emacs Lisp that mirrors in some ways the Linux from Scratch project [1], but replaces the Linux kernel with GNU Linux-libre and keeps the packages to mostly the GNU OS and GPL'd software. I currently have my domain forwarding to the GNU Linux-libre web page (I hope that is OK) so that folks who don't know the project but know me will be exposed to it. Once I have my Alpha release ready and the accompanying build book, I will move the domain to my project page (unless I merge the work with an existing project). I hope I can update you at that time, and be listed under the GNU Linux-libre project page as an "Other source of binaries".
2) I use gNewSense as my OS and do all my builds there. While I research other build projects out there to help flesh out my project, I thought the best place to learn would be from the "source" at the GNU Linux-libre project. I was curious what type of help you may require currently, from testing changes in build scripts to review/maintenance/writing of GNU Linux-libre documentation. Naturally, with a full-time job and a project of my own, I'm looking for small tasks, BUT haven't excluded the possibility that what I learn from GNU Linux-libre could open an opportunity to merge any build scripting work I do into the GNU Linux-libre tool set (how ever many years it takes to complete). My LibrePlanet page is listed in my signature for more information.
Thanks for GNU Linux-libre - I think I've mentioned this to folks involved with the project before but it has totally transformed my approach to GNU/Linux and where I want to take my computing moving forward, both at work and at home. It's a brand GNU world!
