Thanks everyone for getting involved! I'm hoping that as well as
building a kick-ass GNU-OS this will also breath some new life into
general GNUStep development, so i'm going to keep pushing out what
we're doing on the social media and spread the word of "GNU" and bring
more and more developers and users in. I've also copied in David
Greelish who i'm hoping will spread the word. :)
So - define the objectives.
1. Build an authentic NeXTStep feeling GNUStep OS. However - we
don't want it to simulate things that were restrictive i.e authentic
in ways that mean simulating things you "couldn't do" in
NeXTStep/OpenStep. Blend in with Raspbian is a winning idea I think,
happy to hear other suggestions though.
2. Seek to share and support it being adopted and developed & used by
the GNU/Linux communities.
3. Push GNUStep (generic) out there so that more people want to
design, code and use it. I'll do the "marketing" part, so to speak.
4. Build a mini replica NeXT Cube. I have copied in Charles Mangin
from RetroConnector, Charles is looking to design the Raspberry Pi 2
case in the form of a mini NeXT Cube. This will look amazing! I'm
going to call it the Cuboid, people will be able to buy them and
Charles will likely sell them on his Etsy store.
Paul, Riccardo, Richard - As you guys are kind of the core team what
i'd like to do in return for working on this with me is provide you
each with a Cuboid complete with Raspberry Pi2 on completion.
