> We are happy to announce the release of Sarovar.org to the world!
> 
> Sarovar.org is a portal for hosting FLOSS projects, similar to
> sourceforge or Savannah. As far as we are aware it is India's first
> and only site to offer such facilities. Sarovar.org has all the
> features that you will expect from such a site, including web space,
> mail lists, cvs etc.
> 
> The root of the idea to have such a site can be traced back to the
> Indic computing meeting at Bangalore, where there was a desire to have
> some hosting space for Indic computing projects. We had some
> discussions about it back in Trivandrum and we thought we can make
> such a space for developers in India for hosting their work. The
> result is sarovar.org.
> 
> Sarovar.org is a Compaq machine running Debian Woody and a customized
> gforge. It is hosted in Trivandrum and connected to BSNL, VSNL and
> SingTel. All the traffic from it should come without leaving
> India. We are also planning to mirror some important sites right here,
> including Linux kernel and mail lists. We are also open to other ideas
> to use this resource. Please let me know if you have any.
> 
> Please feel free to pass this news to other lists or people who might
> also be interested in such a facility.
