FSLU - Free Software Lovers Unite (was: RE: ILU)
Here is something not directly related to Linux, but I think it is of
interest to anyone who likes Linux and its spirit.
Please spread the word as you see fit.
Cheers,

I haven't heard of this until you mentioned it...
Here's some info i found off the Fresco Mailing List:

----------------------
I just wanted to let people interested in Fresco know about a new
project
that is attempting to address many of the same issues that Fresco seems
to
address.
The FSLU ("Free Software Lovers Unite") has very recently been started
to
develop (or adopt, advocate, and impliment) a free system that would
allow
for the construction of large-scale, interoperating applications, such
as
the Microsoft Office suite.
We are currently investigating CORBA, OpenDoc, and OpenStep (GNUstep),
(and now Fresco) and how the these technologies and other technologies
could possibly interoperate (or be integrated) and whether we wish to
pursue a free implimentation of any of the above. We are in very early
stages of brainstorming...
I just discovered your Fresco project, and it appears unbelievably
relevant to our discussion. :)
I wanted to invite everyone involved in the Fresco project to join the
FSLU mailing list!
You can sign up for the mailing list off of the FSLU homepage at:

Thanks for the info, I've forwarded it on to the FSLU list and will
check
it out myself in just a minute.

Bill Janssen is (to my knowledge) working at Xerox on the ILU project.
He
is on the FSLU mailing list (see http://www.ied.com/fslu) and his e-mail
address is janssen@parc.xerox.com.
