Welcome to Savannah, the software forge for people committed to Free Software:
- We host free projects that run on free operating systems and without any proprietary software dependencies
- Our service runs with 100% free software, including itself
- More...
Savannah.nongnu.org is a central point for development, maintenance and distribution of Free Software that runs on free operating systems.
If you would like to use these facilities to host your project, then go to the Register new project menu entry.
We provide two mailing lists that you may want to subscribe to:
- savannah-announce: low-volume notifications of important issues and changes at Savannah
- savannah-users: discussion of savannah-announce and any user-oriented topic
If you would like to make your project part of the GNU project, please see the GNU Software Evaluation web page to understand the philosophical and technical aspects of the GNU project. Before doing this, you should read the GNU Code Standards to find out if your software complies with them and talk to your fellow developers about it.
