[Shintaro Shinozaki]

Hello,

My name is Shintaro Shinozaki who is lead developer of GdNewHat project. 
We are currently maintaining GNU/Linux-libre system distribution and RPM 
repositories without non-free packages. So, we would like to join 
gnu-linux-libre community and request endorsement. If you have a time, 
please give us some advice. Thank you.

Project description:
GdNewHat Project aim to develop and distribute fully free 
GNU[1]/Linux-libre[2] system distribution based on free software 
community's accomplishments. We are always following a free system 
distribution guideline[3], making an attempt to remove non-free 
components such as non-free firmware[4], driver, software and document 
or replace them with free ones from our software repository and system 
distribution wherever possible.

GdNewHat system is running on binary-blob (non-free firmware, driver) 
free GNU Linux-libre kernel that is maintained by FSF Latin America[5] 
instead of official linux kernel[6]. So, some hardware may not enough 
function or may be unsupported in a lot of cases. However, you can make 
completely clean computer system with only free software without 
restrictive licenses if you use it.

Contained packages are released under free software licenses 
individually. Please read each packages's manuals or licenses list[7] 
for more detail if necessary.
