Hi all, Is there a DD who could sponsor an alioth project that I would like to open for the Orange mining software? The reason I am interested in this software is that they have a module specialised in genomics.
There are two other persons part of this project: - Cyril Brulebois, in the NM queue, who already packaged software relevant to graphes, that are used in systems biology. - Jure Kodzoman, who works under the supervision of the upstream authors and had started to package Orange when I filed an ITP. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410016 Orange differs from most other data mining software for bioinformatics in that it uses a graphical interface for connecting data sets to classifiers. http://www.ailab.si/orange Unfortunately, non-DDs can not start Alioth projects, so we would need an official developper to do the request. I am already admin of other projects, so there would not be time-consuming supervising overheads. (Alternatively, we could use the debian-med Alioth project, but Orange is big and its scope is broader that medical and pre-clinical project. In contrary, the debian-med repository hosts small packages for software which are not very active upstream and which are not very relevant outside life sciences and medecine.) Have a nice day, Charles PS: If this mail made you feel like contributing to this project, you are of course welcome. ----- Forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 10:41:16 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Alioth - Projet refusé La candidature de votre projet a été rejetée. Nom long du projet : Packaging of the Orange mining software. Nom UNIX du projet : pkg-orange-data-mining Raison de notre refus : Hello, You're not yet a Debian maintainer and you requested an alioth project. This doesn't fit the criteria we decided to apply to alioth projects. That's why we're rejecting your request. Note however that we can resurrect your project as soon as your package is integrated in Debian. To achieve that you should be looking for a sponsor that will integrate your package into Debian. Alternatively once you have a sponsor, he may get in touch with us and convince us to create the project even before the integration of the package in Debian. That's particularly true for projects which do not concern packaging ... Feel free to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] when you reach that goal. Good luck ! The alioth admins. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wako, Saitama, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
