RMS & GNU supports FreeDevelopers.net

[Brian Densmore]

I looked at the site, it's an interesting idea. Any idea how many people
have been attracted to it, and what kind of international support? It might
be a fun project, but to be successful the founders will need to advertise A
LOT.
Maybe we could start up a branch office here in KC?

I've been following it for a week or two.  It's not looking real promising
