Hi Mahir,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Mahir,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Mahir,

Seems like my antispam system caught the message you sent. Thanks Sylvain for pasting it here.

As for the project naming: it might be okay for you, but it isn't for us. As stated in my first comment Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement, not the Open Source movement. Please read the document(s) which can be found at the provided locations. If you do mind changing the name I'm afraid we will not be able to provide hosting for your project due to the above mentioned problems.

Additionally, we do wish to review your source code. Could you provide us with a link to a tarball?

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

the project naming is ok. But the problem is; there is no code yet.

All code will be perl code. Everything that we use will be open source
or free software etc.

Hi Mahir,
 
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. While doing so I have noticed a few problems which are described below.


First of all, please note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty close to Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.  For more information, please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.


Secondly, Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and we want the public to think of them as free software projects.  A project name that says "open" will tend to lead people to think of the project as "open source" instead of "free software".

We would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in your project name.


Additionally, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code. Alternatively, you can forward the code to me by email or attach it to this tracker.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GNU GPL you must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every  copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.  This is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories is a release, since the code will then be publicly available through anonymous access.


To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Regards,

Stephan
