To get announcements of most new GNU releases, subscribe to the info-gnu
mailing list: <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu>. Nearly
all GNU software is available from <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/>, or
preferably one of its mirrors (<http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html>). You
can use the url <http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/> to be automatically
redirected to a (hopefully) nearby and up-to-date mirror.

We welcome Lucas Bonnet as a new co-maintainer of GNU EMMS,
Stephen Dawson as the maintainer of the new package remotecontrol (first
release already made), Holger Hans Peter Freyther as the new maintainer
of GNU Smalltalk, Shaunak Shaha as the new maintainer of GNU DDD,
and Jose Marchesi as the new maintainer of GNU sed (in addition to the
many things he already does).

A number of GNU packages, as well as the GNU operating system as a
whole, are looking for maintainers and other assistance. Please see
<http://www.gnu.org/server/takeaction.html#unmaint> if you'd like to
help. The general page on how to help GNU is at
<http://www.gnu.org/help/help.html>. To submit new packages to the GNU
operating system, see <http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html>.

As always, please feel free to write to me, <address@hidden>, with any
GNUish questions or suggestions for future installments.
