State of the shared GNU infrastructure
Wed, 27 Sep 2023 13:40:04 -0400

Today marks the fortieth anniversary of Richard Stallman's initial
announcement[1] of the plan to develop the GNU operating system[2].
I was set to attend the GNU 40th anniversary celebration and hacker
meeting[3] event in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, and was looking forward
to spending the day with fellow free software hackers and activists,
and also talk about the state of the shared GNU infrastructure and how
you can get involved and help.  Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip
at the last minute due to a family emergency, so I'm publishing this
talk on my personal site instead.

In this talk we learn about important pieces of infrastructure of the
GNU Project hosted by the Free Software Foundation for development and
maintenance of GNU programs (though, many are available to free
non-GNU programs as well) and also about how to get involved to
contribute and help maintain these pieces of infrastructure.
