Hello,

I'm closing this project submission for now.

For reference, please see discussion at:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-register-public/2014-11/msg00026.html

If you wish to submit a new project (not for testing/experimental purposes), you are very welcomed to do so.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, please write to
  -email is unavailable-

Hello Walter,

Thank you for the explanation.
It’s great to hear about such enterprises to contribute to Free Software.

There are many ways to contribute to Free Software projects and particularly to projects hosted on GNU Savannah.
However, GNU Savannah is not an optimal service for experimental short-term projects (such that will be abandoned when the university course is complete).
One reason is that projects on GNU Savannah are never deleted - any piece of code hosted on GNU Savannah must be kept available forever.
For such short-term projects, a different hosting server might be preferable.

If you (and your classmates) intend to start a long-term Free-Software project, one that will be maintained and developed after the university course is completed, then hosting it on GNU Savannah is a good idea.
But if these are experimental projects, with only stub code fragments, which are used to learn how GNU Savannah works that - then this would not be advisable.

I’d recommend the following:

-1-
To learn about Free Software projects hosted on GNU Savannah - there’s a lot to do and contribute without the need to create your own projects. Start by looking for a project that interest you, and finding ways to contribute to such project.

Few pointers:
list of GNU Projects: http://www.gnu.org/software/
Non GNU projects hosted on Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=%%%&type=2
Non-exhuastive list of ‘help wanted’: https://savannah.gnu.org/people/
Helping the GNU projects: http://www.gnu.org/help/help.html
High Priority projects: http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/priority-projects/

A short tutorial about how to start helping a GNU project (written specifically for GNU Coreutils, but relevant to most other GNU projects):
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/HACKING

Most projects have a mailing list - you can write to the mailing list and ask what is the best way to contribute.
For example, if you’re interested in helping the “FreeDink” role-playing game, the GNU Savannah website lists the address of the FreeDink mailing list here:
  https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=freedink
(Despite the mailing list having ‘bug-‘ in its name, it can be used for general queries).

If you are interested in hacking on GNU Savannah itself (i.e. the server code behind http://savannah.gnu.org) a good place to start is here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/RunningSavaneLocally/
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavaneInABox/
Or by writing to ‘savannah-hackers-public@gnu.org` .

If you have other ideas in mind, write to me at  ' -email is unavailable- ‘ and I’m certain we can find many opportunities that would interest you and would be helpful for Free Software projects (for example, if you want to develop an “ecplise” plugin that would help project submission for GNU Savannah - do contact me).

-2-
If you are interested specifically in learning how to use code repositories (e.g. GIT) for Free Software projects, and would like to create few experimental repositories of your own - then currently GNU Savannah is not the optimal place for that.
I would recommend using other servers, such as Gitorious ( https://gitorious.org ) or other similar services.
On those servers, you could create as many projects as you’d like, without requiring any review or approval process (which is required on GNU Savannah).

Better yet - you could learn how to run such a server by yourself!
Few places to start would  be GitLabs ( https://about.gitlab.com ) or Gitolite ( http://gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html ).
If you need with setting up such a server, contact me off-list.

-3-
If you and your classmates are interested in developing a long-term Free Software projects, one that you plan maintain and develop and support, then GNU Savannah is a good place to host it.
In this case, however, I would recommend to pool your resources together and work on one project instead of submitting multiple duplicated projects.
That project would still need to comply with the GNU Savannah hosting requirements:
 http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php
 http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly/
Which at the very least requires adding copyright and license statements to
your source code files.
Then, submit the new project for evaluation.
The submission should be made in English,
and information regarding the project and dependencies should be provided.
Your projects are developed in Java, which has additional requirements when hosted on GNU Savannah, see: http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/JavaIssues/

Regards,
Assaf

Hi Mr.  Assaf Gordon, this is a genuine Project for Education Propose, We are learning about free software and how to use Savannah in our University (Escuela Politcenica Nacional From Quito-Ecuador) and in the future we would like to get involved in free software projects using savannah

Hello,

Is this a genuine project submission, or just some automated test?
Coupled with other recent submissions:
  http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?13379
   http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?13380
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?13381
   http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?13382
   http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?13383
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?13384
It appears to be part of an automated process.

If this is indeed a project submission, then it will need to comply with GNU Savannah hosting requirement:
  http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php
  http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly/
Which at the very least requires adding copyright and license statements to your source code files.
Also, the submission should be made in English,
and information regarding the project and dependencies should be provided.

If this is the case, please update your submission.

Otherwise,

If this is part of an automated test system (which your project descriptions hints at),
then I would humbly ask you to stop experimenting on a production system run by volunteers -
each project submission requires a person's time and effort, and such automated dummy submissions do not help.

If that case, there are more useful tests your can write and Eclipse plugins to develop - which will actually help project submission on GNU Savannah.
Please write to -email is unavailable- if you're interested.

I will close these items in couple of days, unless I hear otherwise from you.

Regards,
 - Assaf
