Hi,

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.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

Just a question: I see that there are non-free components in Ubuntu (in particular restricted and multiverse categories, online services such as launchpad).

What do you plan to do with these packages?

Yes I agree to translate free software documentation only. Thank You. Then shall I rename the project from "Thamizubuntu Operating System" to "Muththi GNU/Linux based on Kubuntu".

Please guide us through.

Hi,

I can approve your project under the condition you only translate
documentation of free software and/or free documentation.

Do you agree with this condition?



[Note to Savannah admins: I base this decision on another similar project we host at Savannah: http://www.mail-archive.com/savannah-hackers@gnu.org/msg03000.html]

This will be Ubuntu based Tamil Derivative.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeTeam/Derivatives/Tamil

To begin with it will be KDE based since we are the official Translators of KDE desktop environment.

The other aspects of the project are yet to be decided. It should be a one to two year project atleast starting this April 14, which is our New Year.

We are also the official Ubuntu Tamil Community Team.

Hi,

Can you tell us how you plan to use your Savannah account?

It looks like your work will all those projects independently, what will be the place of Savannah?

Generally, we do not host GNU/Linux distributions, mainly because we do not have the resources to check the license of all their packages. However, since this is a translation effort, this should be good, as long as the translated packages are released under a free license.

Can you provide us with more details?

Thanks.
