Hi all, 

We are aware that several presentations will be given at Cauldron this weekend proposing new ways to support the Sourceware project and the GNU Toolchain packages hosted there. 

The FSF has been a fiscal sponsor to the GNU Toolchain for several years (and continues to be), and has been grateful to have Sourceware providing development infrastructure using free software. Unfortunately, we won't have staff present at Cauldron, but we are keeping up with the development of the various proposals and talking with people involved, as well as seeing how we might be able to offer support to help make good things happen. 

We want Sourceware and the GNU packages it hosts to have stable homes and strong futures in freedom. We expect the conversations in the next few days to be open and transparent and involving the community, and look forward to discussing the best way(s) forward in the coming weeks.
