Hello dear Guilers and Guixers,
I wholeheartedly agree with everything positive that has been said about
Guile and Guix. Both are amazing projects led by amazing people, and
probably some of the most important components of GNU's future. I've

For what it's worth:
Then I of course retract what I said about RMS not showing good leadership
by not consulting with Andy and Ludovic. I still support the initiative to
find a new governing structure for GNU. Note also that both the GNU

hi Andy, I think Mark has explained something, I hope you can rethink about
it calmly. It seems a misunderstanding.
A decade ago I came to Guile community, and I've learned many things from
the people here. Andy, Mark, and Ludo are the people I really respect.
However, someday if they start to bla
Andy,
If you've long had issues with RMS, then why do you still want to be
with GNU? You don't have to participate in GNU to be part of the free
software movement. Is it that you see GNU as an important platform for
your political activism? Is it about donations? Identity? Pride?

Hello all,
I just realized that I made a mistake, and my mistake has caused people
to strongly condemn RMS for something that he did not actually do.
RMS has not yet appointed me as a co-maintainer. To my knowledge, the
only thing he has done so far is to *ask* me if I wanted to be appointed

Dear fellow Guile people,
I'm a long-time libre software and Scheme person, who recently
subscribed to the Guile lists. After so long away from Guile, I was
very happy to return and see an active developer community around it. I
appreciate everyone's labor-of-love efforts here, in some of th

Hi,
Firstoff: I don’t know RMS personally — except for seeing him at a talk.
I only know his writings. I’ve been disagreeing with him on non-free
licensing of writings for more than a decade.
When I saw the joint statement about RMS,[1] I thought that this is
hard, but looking at social network c

Hi Andy, Ludovic and everyone else,
As a previous co-maintainer of Guile, it saddens me that you/we have run
into these kind of difficulties. It's especially sad since, as also David

wish for is that everyone involved in thi
