10th Issue of the “Brave GNU World”, the monthly GNU forum

By

December 24, 1999

Hi !

The 10th issue of the “Brave GNU World” column is online now. It
can be found on the GNU Webpage and its mirrors or follow the links
at the end of this posting.

The “Brave GNU World” is a multilingual (English, German,
French, Japanese and Spanish) monthly column that provides
information about internal developments of the GNU Project and
things of importance to the GNU community, while trying to give
insights into the underlying philosophy. It is available online
(see links below) or printed in Germany´s biggest GNU/Linux
magazine, the “Linux Magazin”.

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 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 4 mails a month).

The tenth issue covers the following topics:

Userv (clean and secure change of user permissions)
Clobberd (monitor your user activity)
La51 (8051 (MCS-51) Cross-Compiler)
CUPS (a new Unix printing architecture)
SADP (another great CD player)
About the GNU GPL (why you shouldn´t accept someone
calling the GPL “viral”)

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 column@gnu.org“

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.
