New European Distributor
************************

The Free Software Foundation now has a European distribution agent: GNU
Distribution Europe, Belgium.

Users in European Community countries can order GNU manuals, CD-ROMs and
T-shirts through this distribution agent, and get a lower overall price (due
to reduced shipping costs) and quicker delivery.

Write to GNU Distribution Europe--Belgium, Sportstaat 28, 9000 Gent, Belgium;
Fax: [phone]; Phone: [phone]; Email:
`[e-mail]'.

Cygnus Matches Donations!
*************************

To encourage cash donations to the Free Software Foundation, Cygnus Solutions
will continue to contribute corporate funds to the FSF to accompany gifts by
its employees, and by its customers and their employees.

Donations payable to the Free Software Foundation should be sent by eligible
persons to Cygnus Solutions, which will add its gifts and forward the total
to the FSF each quarter.  The FSF will provide the contributor with a receipt
to recognize the contribution (which is tax-deductible on U.S.  tax returns).
To see if your employer is a Cygnus customer, or for more information,
please contact Cygnus:

Free Software Redistributors Donate
***********************************

The French redistributor PACT has agreed to donate $1.00 for each GNU/Linux
CD that they sell.

Red Hat Software has agreed to donate $1.00 to the FSF for every copy of Red
Hat Archives sold.  They have also added a GNU logo to the back of that CD
with the words "Supports the Free Software Foundation".

The SNOW 2.1 CD producers added the words "Includes $5 donation to the FSF"
to the front of their CD.  Potential buyers will know just how much of the
price is for the FSF & how much is for the redistributor.

The Sun Users Group Deutschland has made it even clearer: their CD says,
"Price 90 DM, + 12 DM donation to the FSF." We thank them for their
contribution to our efforts.

Kyoto Micro Computer of Japan regularly gives us 10% of their GNU-related
sales.

Mr. Hiroshi, Mr. Kojima, and the other authors of the `Linux Primer' in Japan
have donated money from the sales of their book.

Infomagic has continued to make sizable donations to the FSF.

At the request of author Arnold Robbins, Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc.
continues to donate 3% of their profits from selling `Effective AWK
Programming'.  We would also like to acknowledge the many SSC authors who
have donated their royalties and fees to the FSF.

In the long run, the success of free software depends on how much new free
software people develop.  Free software distribution offers an opportunity to
raise funds for such development in an ethical way.  These redistributors
have made use of the opportunity.  Many others let it go to waste.

You can help promote free software development by convincing for-a-fee
redistributors to contribute--either by doing development themselves or by
donating to development organizations (the FSF and others).

The way to convince distributors to contribute is to demand and expect this
of them.  This means choosing among distributors partly by how much they give
to free software development.  Then you can show distributors they must
compete to be the one who gives the most.

To make this work, you must insist on numbers that you can compare, such as,
"We will give ten dollars to the Foobar project for each disk sold." A vague
commitment, such as "A portion of the profits is donated," doesn't give you a
basis for comparison.  Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this
disk" is not very meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated
business decisions can greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts
as profit.

Also, press developers for firm information about what kind of development
they do or support.  Some kinds make much more long-term difference than
others.  For example, maintaining a separate version of a GNU program
contributes very little; maintaining a program on behalf of the GNU Project
contributes much.  Easy new ports contribute little, since someone else would
surely do them; difficult ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU compiler
or Mach contribute more; major new features & programs contribute the most.

By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the proper
thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can assure a
steady flow of resources for making more free software.

 

Help from Free Software Companies
*********************************

When choosing a free software business, ask those you are considering how
much they do to assist free software development, e.g., by contributing money
to free software development or by writing free software improvements
themselves for general use.  By basing your decision partially on this
factor, you can help encourage those who profit from free software to
contribute to its growth.

Wingnut (SRA's special GNU support group) supports the FSF by purchasing
Deluxe Distribution packages on a regular basis.  In this way they transfer
10% of their income to the FSF.  Listing them here is our way of thanking
them.

Major Changes in GNU Software and Documentation
***********************************************

   * Hurd Progress   (Also *note What Is the Hurd::.)

     We have made three test releases of the Hurd, the most recent being 0.2.
     The Hurd is currently much more reliable than previously, and various
     utilities and file system translators, such as an FTP file system, have
     been written that take advantage of the Hurd's unique design.

     One way for people to help out is to compile and run as much third-party
     free software as they can; in this way we can find bugs and deficiencies
     with some rapidity.  Volunteers with a PC are therefore eagerly sought to
     get the 0.2 release and compile their favorite Unix programs and games.

     Daily snapshots of the Hurd sources are now available for those that
     want to see the latest (non-stable) version; see the Hurd page on the
     FSF Web site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for more information.

   * New Source Code CD!   (*note July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs::.)

     We are releasing the July 1997 (Edition 10) Source Code CD-ROM this
     month.  Once again, it is a two disk set.  It includes several new
     packages: `aegis', `cook', `guavac', `lesstif', `prcs', `rsync', `swarm',
     & `vera'.  On the CD-ROMs are full distributions of X11R6.3,,
     Emacs, GCC, and current versions of all other GNU Software.  *Note GNU
     Software::, for more about these packages.

   * New/Updated Manuals since Last Bulletin   (*note Documentation::.)

     Since the last bulletin, we have published several updated editions of
     our manuals (note the price changes): `GNU Emacs Manual', revised for
     GNU Emacs version 20, now $30; & `Texinfo Manual', for version 3.11 of
