 The puTools library is to be released under subversion separately (i.e. shared with other projects such as Diana). puTools is already an open-source library under LGPL 2.1.

 **+**Please email kvalobs-dev@met.no with your preference/proposal.
+**++++++** Consensus of opinion is to use **kvoss** as the name for the full bundle.
 One advantage of this is that access to the group of s/w in subversion can be achieved by only setting access to a single folder.

+Propose that the first versions opened on subversion will be a snapshot of the latest version on cvs. The first repository will not constitute a release and hence will have no explicit versioning applied.
-The s/w run at met.no is mature (and for kvalobs it is version 1.1.2.53 for example). The Beta Versioning is to indicate that steps are required to make the s/w more accessible for use in an open-source context. These steps may include:
+We should note that the s/w run at met.no is mature (and for kvalobs it is version 1.1.2.53 for example), however steps are required to make the s/w more accessible for use in an open-source context. These steps may include:
+   - Tidy up source tree
    - Provision of a detailed installation guide
    - Removal of any specific met.no environment features (e.g. the kvalobs database has to be run by a user kvalobs)
    - Provision of an autoconf script or similar autobuild tools.
+After these steps have been accomplished we can think of having a "release" tagged under subversion.

+Propose to start with GPL v2. There are still ongoing discussions about GPL v3 in the open-source community. GPL v2 is sufficient for the needs of kvoss.
