Issue #13 a.k.a. “Birthday release” of Georg’s Brave GNU World,
the monthly GNU forum has been released Hi !

Although this happens to be my birthday I took the time to put
issue #13 of the “Brave GNU World” column online. So I guess one
could also dub it the “Birthday release.” 🙂

The column can – as usual – be found on the GNU Webpage and its
mirrors. Otherwise just follow the links at the end of this
posting.

Georg’s Brave GNU World is a monthly column which is being
released simultaneously in five languages (English, German, French,
Japanese and Spanish) on the web and printed in the German
“Linux-Magazin” as well as the “Linux Magazine France.” This makes
it the monthly column with the widest distribution worldwide as far
as I know.

If you would like to receive mail about new issues directly, you
can subscribe to the “Brave GNU World” announcement mailinglist.
Just send mail to [email protected]
with “subscribe” in the *body*. The mailinglist is only for
announcements that are related to the “Brave GNU World” and is of
very low volume (between 1 and 2 mails a month).

The 13th issue covers the following topics:

Gcompte (managing your personal finances)
Scwm (an extremely extensible window manager)
eev (yet another way to use your Emacs)
Pliant (a new programming language framework and system)
Worldwide Botanical Database (a “Free Science” type
project)

This column intends to provide a forum for all GNU maintainers,
friends and associates and I am always open to suggestions. So if
you

have questions about the GNU Project that might be of general
interest
have a GNU Project and would like to improve its profile
would like to start a GNU Project you are looking for people to
start it with
think something doesn’t get the publicity it deserves
would like to see something made public

send mail to:

“Brave GNU World [email protected]“

This column is for everyone with an interest in Free Software,
so don´t hesitate to contact me if your project is under the
GPL/LGPL and you´d like to see it introduced here.
