**DRAFT**

Wondering what this is?  Here are the highlights:

  - Gathering under a New Umbrella —
    [We](https://wiki.gnu.tools/gnu:social-contract-endorsement),
    maintainers and contributors of well-known free software projects
    are making this place our new home, fighting for the freedom of
    computer users and hacking the good hack.
  - Governance, Not Unilateralism — This new home is governed by those
    who build it [following common goals and sharing the same
    values](/en/documents/social-contract): the
    [Assembly](https://lists.gnu.tools/hyperkitty/list/assembly@lists.gnu.tools/)
    is where we openly and respectfully discuss day-to-day operation and
    the general direction of our umbrella project.
  - This Group’s Not Uniform — We have common goals but also different
    backgrounds, and we view it as a strength.  Our interactions in this
    project are subject to its [code of
    conduct](/en/documents/code-of-conduct).
  - GNU’s Novelty is Unequaled — We contribute to projects that go back
    to the roots of [free software](/en/documents/free-software), some
    of us even know what “CVS” means.  These projects and newer ones are
    leading in their own domain and we plan to keep it that way.
  - GNU Needs U! — It’s about building a software commons to empower
    computer users.  We need you — as a user, developer, speaker,
    coordinator, translator, system administrator: if you share [our
    goals](https://wiki.gnu.tools/gnu:social-contract), bring your own
    contributions!

“GNU” as in “new” — join us now!
