Cacao Linux: A GNUstep reference implementation

Hi, my name is Gregory Casamento. I have been with the project for about 20 years. Currently, I am the lead of the project and I am very humbled to be in that position among such excellent developers.

I was recently laid off from Keysight Technologies and I am looking for another position. Keysight is a great contributor to GNUstep and it was a privilege to work with them. In the interim, I want to make good use of the time that I have to create a reference implementation for GNUstep... something that we have spoken about at length, but no one has made any progress on.

My intention with this fundraiser is to help me get the reference implementation created and to help bridge the gap between now and my next engagement. This job market is brutal and I need to do something to at least keep the lights on. The funds will be used both to help me do this as well as for things for the project such as hosting or to pay any other individuals who would like to join me if needed. I plan on helping the guys at the Gershwin project to get to release as part of this effort as they are focused on making this happen.

Please help me use this time as productively as possible to help the community benefit and create something great in the process.

Yours sincerely, GC
