+Xander Vedejas (xvedejas) has been selected as the GNU Generation Member of 
the Month for September!  Xander has primarily been working on Valix, a new 
operating system with an integrated approach.  Working in assembler and C, he 
has begun creating an operating system that already has an integrated graphics 
system and a programming language in he works.
+
+Initially, Xander didn't believe that his operating system would be welcomed 
by the FSF in fear that it would draw attention away from GNU/Linux.  In fact, 
the opposite could be said!  By creating a free operating system, Xander is 
drawing attention to the importance of having an operating system to use, 
study, and hack, especially one less massive and differently structured than 
the Linux kernel.  Xander has documented Valix thouroughly on valix.co.nr so 
that the project is not only about his own exploration in writing an operating 
system, but also helping others explore doing the same.  Xander has also been 
one of those people we can rely on to consistantly be on IRC and contribute his 
knowledge.
+
+Thank you to all the GNU Generation participants.  It was not easy to select 
only one from such a great group of applications!
+
+Also, if you are approximately aged 13-18, and would like to (or already do) 
contribute to free software, learn more about GNU Generation.
