    [$] Rethinking the governance of the GNU Project
    The GNU Project was created by Richard
    Stallman in 1983 to further his goal of developing an entirely free
    operating system — a goal that seemed impossibly ambitious at the time.
    Stallman has recently resigned from some of his roles, but as
    of this writing his personal site still
    leads off with this proclamation: "I continue to be the Chief
    GNUisance of the GNU Project.
    I do not intend to stop any time soon    ". Within the project itself,
    though, it has become clear that this intention lacks universal support.
    We appear to be seeing the beginning of a governance transition for this
    venerable project.
