Namespace management requests and actions are tracked in a public bugtracker. To apply for a new reservation, or request a change to an existing one over which you have control, please file a new bug at: https://lsbbugs.linuxfoundation.org/, using Product: LANANA and Component: "/opt/ namespace assignment". Note you will need to create a bugzilla account here if you don't already have one.

When applying for a name in LSB namespaces for Init Scripts, Cron Scripts, Package Names or Provider Names, please perform the following steps for faster action on a submission:

1. Check LANANA's web pages to see if the name you wish to reserve is still available.
2. Check if there is a pending registration listed in the bugtracker.
3. Include the following information in your request:
   • Your name
   • An Email contact address
   • Name of the Entity (company, organization, etc.) you represent
   • Name of the Application or Project needing a reserved name.
   • Project Website (if there is one).
   • Suggested reserved names and from which namespace (init|cron|package|provider) desired.
   • Any other notes that would help processing the application.

Notes:

• It is preferred if the email address is a persistent name, humans do leave the organizations they represent and the current LANANA data already have quite a few non-working contact emails. Thus, the style lanana-admin@example.com, set to deliver to the person submitting the request or other current contact, but able to be changed later without contacting LANANA, is a good idea.
• For the case of reserving init script namespace(s), please include a description of each init script's purpose. Example:

  foobar - start/stop the foobard daemon
              

• Please try to anticipate what might be ambiguous to the registry team, and use the notes to explain. The team will ask for more information in the bugreport if needed, but it's quicker if there doesn't have to be a lot of back-and-forth.

The team will try and respond to your request in a timely fashion. If nothing seems to be happening, a ping can go to the LSB mailing list, though comments/questions in the bug report will certainly be seen.
