What about Gobuntu?  It isn't mentioned in the announcement.

I've been looking forward to Gobuntu Hardy because it seems like excluding proprietary
components is probably good for long term stability and support.

So I went and looked for Gobuntu Hardy and apparently it isn't here yet:

(Shows an empty download directory.)

Oh well, I think I'll wait anyway.

Following-up to myself again, it sort of appears that energy for the gobuntu project is
reduced in part because it is increasingly easy to use Ubuntu in an exclusively Free way:

Following-up to myself again, gNewSense has put out their 2.0-final release, based on Hardy,
and less than a week after Hardy went final.  Nice!!
