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


Firstly, your project is not part of the GNU project, so we cannot accept its current type.  We want to maintain the distinction between 'GNU' and'non-GNU' projects.  If your project is approved for inclusion into Savannah, we will set it's type to 'non-GNU'.

If your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its type.  You can do this by asking us.


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.


Thirdly, "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.

Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS to GNU/Linux?

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.


Finally, in order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.


Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned above.

Make sure to apply all changes requested, so you will only need to re-register once.

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.

When you do re-register, please provide a tarball of your project, not an ftp directory of individual files.


Regards.

Registration Details


  • Name: OPEN SURVEY STATION
  • System Name:  oss
  • Type: Official GNU software
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description:

OSS seeks to integrate the manipulation of files of total stations, with files GPS, as well as the work with levels. It works in an internal way with the Mysql database . This is this way to benefit of the advantages of the databases. It could be quicker if it used a file binary native, but with mysql we will be able to work in network in our company, as well as to display our projects from any browser that has Internet connection. Mysql is only used therefore as store system.  It has an intermediate system to works in memory with data binary natives in table form to carry out searches, erased and upgrades.
We have implemented a system of units with three types of units:
Linear units: Lineal measures and lineal errors.
Angle units: Angle measures and angle errors.
Geodetic units:  Geodetic N-S and Geodetic E-W.
OSS internally works only in metres for Linear units, gradians for angle units and degrees for geodetic units.
The units that we can define are good for visual display in the interface of the software, printout in reports or importing external files.
Regarding the topographical calculations we are implementing Network Adjustment, Polygonals, Radiations, Direct intersections, Inverse intersections, Stakeout Reports,...
For the import of external text files templates are used based on regular expressions of PERL, so we will be able to configure our own templates and to import any text-only file.
The sotware is published with a series of templates for the good known formats.
In all ways the software has native external files, so we can export or to import them.
The files that we have implemented they are:
Files of projections.
They have the extension .pjt and a viewer to create them and to be able to display them.
Files of level ellipsoids.
They have the extension .eli and a viewer to create them and to be able to display them.
Transformation Files.
They have the extension .trs and a viewer to create them and to be able to display them.
Total files of Stations
They have the extension .apa and a viewer to create them and to be able to display them.
Files of antennas GPS
They have the extension .ant (it is not still implemented)
Files of levels
They have the extension .lev (it is not still implemented)
