Founder Michael L. Love wrote an editorial speaking about the roots, goals, problems and just about everything about GNU-Darwin. Free Software is at the core of GNU-Darwin and also anything political that has an impact on digital and even rights. Is this the first truly politically oriented BSD OS?" [Slashdot]

Email style: "[I created] what you could call an update to an old article I've held in much respect, Email Typography by Sean Cavanaugh. This is not a rigid set of rules that have to be obeyed by every living being on the planet. It's a set of guidelines I've found useful when I send (and receive) email." [visakopu.net]
