1. Project full name

You should start with specifying the name of your project. The "Full Name" is descriptive, and has no arbitrary restrictions (except a 40 character limit).

2. Project Purpose And Summarization

Please provide detailed, accurate description of your project and what PgFoundry resources and in which way you plan to use. This description will be the basis for the approval or rejection of your project's hosting on PgFoundry, and later, to ensure that you are using the services in the intended way. This description will not be used as a public description of your project. It must be written in English.

3. License

If you are applying for a website-only project, please select "website-only" from the choices below and proceed.

PostgreSQL is distributed under the flexible BSD licence. Any code in the core PostgreSQL distribution must be release under the same license. Other code can be released under any license you prefer. PgFoundry was created to advance PostgeSQL-related Open Source software development. To keep things simple, we are relying on the outstanding work of the Open Source Initiative for our licensing choices.

We realize, however that there may be other licenses out there that may better fit your needs. If you wish to use a license that is not OSI Certified, please let us know why you wish to use another license.

Choosing a license is a serious decision. Please take some time to read the text (and our explanations) of several licenses before making a choice about your project.

You may change the license for BSD License Website Only Apache Software License Apple Public Source License Artistic License GNU General Public License (GPL) GNU Library Public License (LGPL) IBM Common Public License IBM Public License Intel Open Source License Jabber Open Source License MIT License MITRE Collaborative Virtual Workspace License (CVW License) Mozilla Public License 1.0 (MPL) Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL 1.1) Nethack General Public License Nokia Open Source License Other/Proprietary License Python License Qt Public License (QPL) Ricoh Source Code Public License Sleepycat License Sun Internet Standards Source License (SISSL) Vovida Software License 1.0 zlib/libpng License None Public Domain

If you selected "other", please provide an explanation along with a description of your license. Realize that other licenses may not be approved. Also, it may take additional time to make a decision for such project, since we will need to check that license is compatible with the OpenSource definition.

4. Project Public Description

This is the description of your project which will be shown on the Project Summary page, in search results, etc. It should not be as comprehensive and formal as Project Purpose description (step 2), so feel free to use concise and catchy wording. Maximum length is 255 chars.

5. Project Unix Name

In addition to full project name, you will need to choose short,"Unix" name for your project.

The "Unix Name" has several restrictions because it is used in so many places around the site. They are:

• Cannot match the unix name of any other project
• Must be between 3 and 15 characters in length
• Must be in lower case
• Can only contain characters, numbers, and dashes
• Must be a valid unix username
• Cannot match one of our reserved domains
• Unix name will never change for this project

Your unix name is important, however, because it will be used for many things, including:

• A web site at unixname.pgfoundry.org
• A CVS Repository root of /cvsroot/unixname at cvs.unixname.pgfoundry.org
• Shell access to unixname.pgfoundry.org
• Search engines throughout the site

Unix Name:

6. SCM

You can choose among different SCM for your project, but just one. Please select the SCM system you want to use.

You will not be able to change it once the project is registered!
