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,

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.

Regards.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

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.

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.


For this reason, you must determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java suite (see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and ensure that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable implementation of the Java API (the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/.

Please provide us with more information about this point.

Since you still are in design phase, we recommand to develop it using free technologies from the start. You may be interested in reading "Free But Shackled" http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html

Description:
------------
  Our plans are to develop an open source Point Of Sale system for a multitude of businesses.  It is currently in the planning phase as this evolved from a prior project to support only restaurants.  Currently there is no public code available, as the current code is being reviewed and ripped apart to support the broader range of businesses.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  MySQL
Apache
Tomcat if we chose to use JSP
Possibly either PHP or Perl or both
Currently Java and Swing, but if we continue to use Java I would like to switch to SWT.
