I am currently Chief maintainer of GNUstep. My responsibilities for the project include promoting the project to the public, reporting back to the FSF about the progress of the project, making certain that all of the copyright paperwork is in order for the project, and setting release schedule. I am also maintainer for Gorm and GUI for the GNUstep project. My responsibilities as Gorm maintainer were to develop a GUI builder which would allow a developer to create a GUI without any code which was close enough to the NeXT/Apple Interface Builder that it would not take much additional training to handle. As GUI maintainer I am responsible for implementing GUI controls and attempting to keep up with the latest Cocoa extensions.
