When we published https://gnu.tools/ it was our conviction that GNU is what we make of it, because it is little more than a name for a set of goals and an inspiring retelling of history (up to the mid-1990s perhaps). Turns out that in practical and concrete terms "GNU" means very little to the supporters of projects associated with GNU. This is why there hasn't been more activity concerning the GNU Assembly: there is little to be *done* collectively. The GNU Assembly could continue to ignore Stallman's attempts to micromanage, continue to publish rebuttals whenever his tonedeaf or harmful actions draw attention, but ... it's so self-defeating to define oneself merely in opposition to Stallman's missteps. As a *project* GNU does not exist. -- Ricardo
