I know i should have read >the hosting terms and conditions before: i'm very sorry i didn't. >Thanks for your time! GNU Savannah promotes free software as you see. The problem with gitorious is than it don't. gitorious promotes open source. We want to spread the ethical values of free software but open source don't speak of ethics nor morality. We think Open source misses the point of free software: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html. Usually mirroring would be a advantage. But If a project is mirrored outside savannah, and the mirror don't speaks of freedom, then the user who looks in the mirror instead of in savannah may will not notice the existence an philosophy of free software and the GNU project. I discourage you to using a hosting site than don't promotes free software but instead promotes open source software or propietary software, as gitorious does. However, when hosting at Savannah is not only a discouragement but a requirement for the sake of free software. You may leave a note in gitorious if you wish, as "The Geiser page now is in GNU Savannah: https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/geiser, A free software hosting site.". This will ensure current and future contributors can still contribute to Geiser. If there are more problems with the migration we can talk about them and found a good solution if you wish. Of couse, the final choise of use or not to use GNU Savannah is up to you. Please let us know of it, taking the above into account :). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREIAAYFAkuqsSwACgkQZ4DA0TLic4hAbQCggGGQ+SEU2h4mzFG5iT0eVzUE 5QIAn0V/hfaCUHbDeH2f8vWBj+jwmkns =FAUB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?10245> _______________________________________________ Mensaje enviado vai/por Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
