Proposal: Fedora G11N Steering Committee
by Pravin Satpute 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Hi All, I am sure, most of the people working with Fedora I18N, L10N from 5-6 year must be aware regarding Fedora L10N Steering Committee. [1] As far as i know this committee was active around 2009 and very effective. During Fedora G11N activity day discussions, we again felt there is need for some kind of official committee to drive Fedora Globalization activities. Fedora is growing faster with number of different domains and G11N also need to adapt those changes quickly to remain on the track. For this purpose and in line with [1], we were thinking of Fedora Globalization steering committee. I have created initial proposal for it. [2] Its open for feedback, please feel free to share other active members, discuss in your respective language groups. This is just initial proposal and i am sure, we can improve and make it more effective with active participation. Regards, Pravin Satpute 1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Steering_Committee?rd=L10N/SteeringComm… 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_G11N_Steering_Committee_Proposal _______________________________________________ g11n mailing list g11n(a)lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/g11n@lists.fedoraproject.org

Greetings fellow Fedorians!

Name: Pedro Andrade Location: Lisbon, Portugal Login: cifose Language: Portuguese Profession: ATM - Guidance Counselor of sorts but I’ve done plenty of less fancy stuff in the past About Me: I started using linux back in 2004 but very intermittently. On and off. More off than on. Eventually 4 years ago I started dual-booting. I gravitated towards debian and debian-based distros namely crunchbang and xubuntu. But since last year I started using fedora and never looked back! Right now I don’t even dual-boot on my machine. Me and the Fedora Project: I’m an avid FOSS advocate and enthusiast. I plan to help the fedora project by being an enthusiast user or “evangelist”! so eventually, when life becomes more stable, to apply to Fedora Ambassador. Also to help out in the translation from English to Portuguese-PT, particularly on the wiki since it’s a the very first source of information on might access in order to get to know Fedora and it’s Universe. I really hope to ear from you guys and help a lot this amazing project. Regards from Portugal!

Sections order should be changed in the L10n Guide
by Tiansworld 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Hi guys, I found the L10n guide[1] is recently updated. However I don't think the parts in section 4 are in right order. There are 6 parts in section 4. First, the contents of '4.1.4 Joining Your Fedora Translation Team' is duplicated with the contents of '4.5 Add yourself to your language translation team in Zanata'. And it's in a wrong position. So it should be deleted. Second, no matter which roles we are in the community, I think the first thing is to get a FAS account, then subscribe the mailing list(s), introduce ourselves on the list(s). And optionally create a wiki user page. This is a logically right order. So the '4.6 Introduce yourself' should be put right after '4.3/4.4 Subscribe to the trans(and local team) mailing list'. The last thing should be '4.2 Log in to Zanata with your FAS account' and '4.5 Add yourself to your language translation team in Zanata'. Here is the summary: 1. Delete 4.1.4 2. Merge 4.3 and 4.4 to a new part: *4.2* 4. Move 4.6 up to the end of 4.3/4.4, that is the new *4.3* 5. Move 4.2 down and before 4.5, to be new *4.4* The right order expresses the reasonable logical, and saves the time of either new users or team coordinators.

Fwd: Albanian Language Coordinator
by Besnik Bleta 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Hello, First, I’d like to have this archived in the right place, which should have been done be the sender, rather than contacting individuals via their personal email addresses. I’ll comment there. Best, Besnik -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Albanian Language Coordinator Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2016 18:09:59 +0200 From: Jona Azizaj <jonaazizaj(a)gmail.com> To: Pravin Satpute <pravin.d.s(a)gmail.com>, Noriko Mizumoto <noriko(a)fedoraproject.org>, Alex Eng <aeng(a)redhat.com>, Jean-Baptiste <jean-baptiste(a)holcroft.fr>, Justin W.

He proposed, and we agreed, that in a 6 month period of time we would pick the most active person in localization and in the end we would create a poll to agree whom would be the new coordinator. Now that 6 months passed by, we contacted him again on how we would proceed and his answer was that we were not active enough and we weren't using the mailing list. (Attached you will find the email in Albanian where we contacted Besnik). We found this really disappointing and demotivating on continuing contributing in localization, one of the areas that we consider as a high priority for our community. Please find below a list of activities that are conducted from some of the most active members of the community: Attached you will find a text file consisting of translation sprints results and a list of Fedora events we have organized can be found documented here [1]. As a result of the non consistency of Besnik's behavior many members are likely not to continue contributing since none of their translations have not been approved for months. Sadly we are in a situation where there are many active contributors, the community is growing in many areas, except localization where some are pulled off by the fact that the strings are not being approved. In addition, Besnik has claimed that we do not use the mailing list which doesn't mean that we are not translating. Actually we actively use our hackerspace mailing list a lot, which is well documented here [2]. We do this because our activities are held in a physical hackerspace due to the effectiveness of the face-to-face communication. If this situation and behavior continues our community members will probably stop contributing in localization because: * People feel demotivated by the actual coordinator not approving their translations * We have invited Besnik to join our activities in person but he has not joined them. We strongly believe that meeting in person always helps in this situation, but unfortunately he has not joined us. To be clear, our purpose is not to remove Besnik, but to add other coordinators, whom should be more active and approve the translations (if they are correct). We hope our request to have more coordinators for translations (which will result in approving the translations faster) gets approved and contributors don't get demotivated.
