>> ## Free Software Supporter exclusive: WBUR is streaming Ogg Vorbis!
>>
>> We haven't blogged about it yet but we wanted to let our Free
>> Software Supporter subscribers know that one of the nation's largest
>> NPR stations, WBUR.org, is now streaming in Ogg Vorbis:
>>
>> * Listen now: 
>>
>> This follows our action and meeting with WBUR from last month:
>> .
>>
>> Robin Lubbock, WBUR's Director of New Media said, "WBUR has a great
>> schedule of news and information programming 24 hours a day, which we
>> are very happy to make available to Ogg Vorbis listeners. It's
>> exciting to work with the Free Software Foundation to give a new
>> audience the chance to listen to WBUR's award winning programing as
>> well as the wonderful programs from NPR and the BBC Worldservice that
>> you can find daily on WBUR."
>>
>>
>> ## DBD Action Alert - Libraries: Eliminate DRM!
>>
>> * Sign the open-letter
>> 
>>
>> * Customize your own letter from our template.
>> 
>>
>> Recently, we took action against the Boston Public Library (BPL)
>> demanding that they embargo the use of DRM technology on their
>> collection and create a policy that respects the motto that hangs
>> above their door: "free-to-all." To send a message to all libraries
>> that they too should respect their patrons' freedom, we urge you to
>> sign our open letter. To take action against your local library, we
>> urge you to customize a letter from our template.
>>
>> Please, let us know () if you have
>> contacted or written your local library, and please let your friends
>> and fellow patrons know about the open letter.
>>
>> Read the blog post about our previous action at the BPL:
>> * 
>>
>>
>> ## Get DeltaH, gNewSense 2.0
>>
>> The all-free GNU/Linux distribution gNewSense has shipped its second
>> major release, named DeltaH. The gNewSense project dubs itself as "A
>> free as in freedom GNU/Linux distribution, that takes all the non-free
>> blobs out of a rather popular distribution." Read our press release:
>>
>> * 
>>
>> Or get a copy of the new distribution:
>>
>> * 
>>
>>
>> ## Get your next machine with gNewSense
>>
>> Los Alamos Computers is selling laptops, desktops and servers
>> preinstalled with gNewSense. They are interested in selling free BIOS
>> machines as well, and they are donating a portion of their sales from
>> each free GNU/Linux system to the FSF -- find out more on our blog:
>>
>> * 
>>
>> Or visit the GNU/Linux Computers page at:
>>
>> * 
>>
>>
>> ## Silicon Mechanics to ship servers with free BIOS preinstalled
>>
>> Silicon Mechanics, a manufacturer of server hardware, has committed to
>> shipping servers with coreboot, a free BIOS, preinstalled. Find out
>> more at:
>>
>> * 
>>
>>
>> ## Can we rescue OLPC from Windows? by Richard M. Stallman
>>
>> RMS posted an appeal to One Laptop per Child asking that they continue
>> making a strong commitment to freedom and to not ship the XO laptop
>> with Windows XP, as many are speculating is going to be the case. He
>> has urged the community to step up its efforts in helping OLPC and
>> asked OLPC to make it easier for the community do so. Read more:
>>
>> * 
>>
>>
>> ## End Software Patents: the Bilski hearing, heard.
>>
>> The en banc hearing for the Bilski case occurred on Thursday, May 8th.
>> We hope that over the coming months the amicus brief filed by the End
>> Software Patents campaign will help lead to the elimination of
>> software patents. We will likely not hear back from the courts until
>> the second half of this year. You can find out more about the case and
>> the brief we filed in our blog post:

>>
>> ## O Canada -- action alert!
>>
>> We made a call to action urging Canadian citizens in Ottawa to attend
>> the Public Policy Forum symposium, on April 28. This call came as a
>> result of finding from Cory Doctorow that, "The lobby for US-style
>> copyrights in Canada has gone into overdrive, recruiting a powerful
>> Member of Parliament and turning public forums on copyright into
>> one-sided love-fests for restrictive copyright regimes that
>> criminalize everyday Canadians." Find out more at:
>>

>>
>> ## GNU Spotlight with Karl Berry
>>
>> As mentioned last time, GNU is participating in Google's Summer of
>> Code program. We were very appreciative of both the quality and
>> quantity of student applications. We had to select just 10 out of the
>> submissions, which was difficult as always, but the result covers a
>> wide array of GNU packages. The list of accepted proposals is at
>> .
>>
>> In addition, quite a few GNU packages participated in the GSoC as
>> separate organizations, rather than under the generic GNU umbrella
>> above: GCC, GIMP, GNOME, gnucap, Hurd, Gnumeric, and GNUstep. Links
>> for those packages' GSoC pages are at the very end of
>> .
>>
>> Notable GNU releases for April 2008 include tar (now with lzma
>> support), coreutils, and the first release of GNU's C reference
>> manual. Here's the complete list:
>>
>> aspell-0.60.6 autoconf-2.62 commoncpp2-1.6.2
>> coreutils-6.11 gama-1.9.05 gengetopt-2.22.1
>> gjdoc-0.7.9 global-5.7.1 guile-gnome-platform-2.15.98
>> gnu-c-manual-0.1 gnuit-4.9.3 libextractor-0.5.20a
>> libidn-1.8 libmicrohttpd-0.3.0 libtool-2.2.2
>> libzrtpcpp-1.1.0 m4-1.4.11 octave-3.0.1
>> sipwitch-0.1.1 swbis-0.951 tar-1.20
>> texinfo-4.12 ucommon-1.9.1
>>
>> See the packages' announcements, web pages
>> (http://www.gnu.org/software/PKGNAME) or the distributions themselves
>> for details. Nearly all are available from , or
>> preferably one of the mirrors: .
>>
>> To get announcements of most new GNU packages, subscribe to the
>> info-gnu mailing list, ,
>> which is publicly archived at .
>>
>> Finally, I'd like to specially welcome two new packages to GNU: zile
>> () and libmicrohttpd
>> (), and their maintainers,
>> Reuben Thomas and Christian Grothoff, respectively. Welcome and
>> thanks also to other newly-appointed maintainers: Debarshi Ray
>> (inetutils), Daniel Baumann (spell), Joel Granados (parted), Jim
>> Meyering (idutils), and Jose Maria Gomez Vergara (ddd).
>>
>> A number of GNU packages are still looking for maintainers. Since
>> this note is already longer than usual, let me just point interested
>> readers to .
>>
>> Please feel free to write to me, , with any GNUish
>> questions or suggestions for future installments.
