4. Humble Beginnings
“Hello everybody out there using minix —
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu)
for 386(486) AT clones..”
Free Unix!
“Starting this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete Unix-compatible
software system called GNU (for Gnu's Not Unix), and give it away free(1) to
everyone who can use it. Contributions of time, money, programs and equipment
are greatly needed”.

5. The Open Compute Message
Hello everybody out there consuming hardware—
We are doing a (free) project that allows anyone to design hardware to support specific workloads. This
won’t be gratuitously differentiated like the incumbents are selling. We’d like any feedback on things
people like / dislike about what’s available to them today as our project resembles those offerings
somewhat.....
