  1. Re:good news! by sashako · · Score: 1 · on FSF Migrating From Savannah to Gforge

    Here is a good comparison of them all.
    Gna is missing though. I am hosting my own project there, it is located in France than I like because I am in Europe too.
    Overall, I think it is a better idea to have a bunch of public host places for open source project than having [almost] averybody hosting on sf and savannah.

    two even better alternative currencies (though they are complementary currencies, unlike e-gold) DEM and Geek Credit. Both are p2p and can work w/o banker.

  3. Gnaa!, a new host for Freesoftware development by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic · on How Eclipse Independence Will Affect Developers

    Dear Free Software friends,

    A self organized development hosting facility, Gnaa! (Gnaa is Not An Acronym), is available to all Libre Software developpers and users at http://gnaa.org/. It was created in January 2004 and is offering the same services as Savannah and SourceForge.net.

    Philosophically, Gnaa! follows the lead of the Free Software Foundation. Projects hosted on Gnaa! will be distributed under licensing terms compatible with each other so that they can be mixed freely. Running these projects on your own machine will not require any non-free software.

    The self organized side of Gnaa! means that it is run by its users. Anyone is welcome to contribute to the maintainance of the hardware and software platform. Entering the Gnaa! maintainers team can happen within the hour : propose yourself, answer support requests if you can, provide a patch to implement the feature you want. No contribution will be ignored or discarded: if you make a mistake we rely on you to fix it.

    Because Gnaa! is philosophically and technically compatible with Savannah, we started to implement an import/export procedure so that projects can move freely between Gnaa! and Savannah. The compromission of Savannah last year showed that it is critical to have many Free Software development facilities where projects can be backed up easily.

    Happy Hacking,

    About:
    Gnaa! has been started in January 2004 by Loic Dachary (Savannah's project iniator), Mathieu Roy (myself, deeply involved in Savannah since 2002) and Vincent Caron (involved in Savannah since the summer 2003). The hardware is provided by the Free Software Foundation France and the bandwidth is offered by Free, a French Internet Services Provider.
