about:
gNewSense
Some friends in Ireland have been working on GNU/Linux distro
that will be completely free software.
The name is gNewSense, and its website is at: http://www.gnewsense.org/
Two guys are currently doing the bulk of the work. They are Brian Brazil and
Paul O'Malley.
One job still to be done is to remove some binary blobs from the
kernel, and for this they need help from an assembly programmer - and
it has to be someone who knows how to remove binary blobs.
The stated goals of the project are:
A GNU/Linux project, to take all the binary blobs out of a
rather popular distribution and make it all free. In doing so we have
also produced a set of scripts to create a free GNU/Linux Distribution
based off Ubuntu.
Looks interesting, and I know the two guys from the monthly IFSO meetings. So if you think you can
help, or if you know someone who might be able to, I think this is a
good project. The best way to contact them is by IRC they're in channel #gnewsense on irc.freenode.net
