Actually, they stopped working on Gobuntu, it is no longer a supported not a
distributed part of the Ubuntu family. Apparently they did not gather enough
volunteers to keep up the project so Mark effectively shut it down. People
are requested to use gNewSense instead which is also an Ubuntu remix without
nonfree elements present (and blessed by Stallman if I am not mistaken).
