-title: Launching the GNU Assembly web site
-date: 2021-04-16 14:00:00
-author: The GNU Assembly
----
-
-Hi there!  We’re excited to launch the GNU Assembly web site—“GNU” as in
-“new”!  This place intends to be a collaboration platform for the
-developers of GNU packages who are all “hacking for user freedom” and
-who [share a vision](/en/documents/social-contract) for the umbrella
-project.
-
-**DRAFT**
-
-Truth be told, this is an old story finally becoming a reality.  Almost
-ten years ago, Andy Wingo (of GNU Guile) emailed GNU maintainers:

-Subject: [gnu-prog-discuss] An experimental GNU Assembly
-To: gnu-prog-discuss <gnu-prog-discuss@gnu.org>

-Greetings, GNU maintainers.
-
-At the last GNU Hacker's Meeting in Paris, we talked a lot about the
-social structure of the GNU project.  There was broad consensus that the
-GNU project would be healthier and more effective if GNU maintainers had
-the ability to act collectively, beyond our capacities in our individual
-projects.
-
-This mail is an attempt to take concrete steps in that direction.  I'm
-trying to reflect the consensus we reached in Paris, though the words
-are mine only.
-
-In brief, I would like to propose an experiment: the creation of a new
-forum for collective decision-making in the GNU project.  This "GNU
-Assembly" (or whatever we call it) will discuss topics relevant to the
-GNU project, with the goal of producing technical recommendations
-through a process of consensus-building.
-
-The major organ of the GNU Assembly will be a new mailing list, with
-public archives.  The details of the discussion and
-recommendation-producing structure should be worked out on that list.
-
-Ideally I would like for all core GNU contributors to participate in
-this experiment.  Following Debian's example, GNU Assembly members
-should first agree on a founding document of principles.  This document
-should be short and sweet: something about the four freedoms, preference
-for copyleft, and mutual respect among assembly members.
-
-Please give your reactions on this list.  Eventually this discussion
-should be archived publicly, so please start a new thread if you do not
-want your message archived on the new list, and mark it as such.
-
-If there is agreement, I would like to start work on a draft Social
-Contract within the week, and open a new assembly@gnu.org mailing list
-shortly.
-
-Let's give it a go!
-
-Yours in free software,
-
-Andy

-Why this did not happen “within the week” belongs to the past;
-everything in this message describes our effort today.  We came up with
-a [founding document](/en/documents/social-contract) last year through a
-[transparent discussion
-process](https://wiki.gnu.tools/gnu:gsc-feedback), followed by a [formal
-endorsement
-period](https://wiki.gnu.tools/gnu:social-contract-endorsement).  The
-public [Assembly
-list](https://lists.gnu.tools/hyperkitty/list/assembly@lists.gnu.tools/)
-is where this group discusses.
-
-Currently, the GNU Assembly consists of maintainers and developers from
-about [30 packages](/en/software)—old and young, small and big.  You too
-can [join us](/en/contribute)!
