If you are a maintainer or contributor to a GNU package sharing the
same vision as we do, we’d love to have you on board!  The steps to join
the Assembly are as follows:

  1. Read the [Social Contract](/en/documents/social-contract) and email
     `social-contract@gnu.tools` to explicitly endorse it.  Endorsement
     allows us to make sure we’re all on the same page, following the
     same goals.
  2. Subscribe to [the Assembly mailing
     list](https://lists.gnu.tools/hyperkitty/list/assembly@lists.gnu.tools/)
     and check out the [code of conduct](/en/documents/code-of-conduct)
     that applies.
  3. There is no third step.
  
Let’s connect the software packages and the people behind them!
