Proposal for Changing the Nomenclature of The Project - UTRRS
by Satyabrata Maitra 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hi Folks As many of you might aware of, that we have merged our Project - UTRRS (Unicode Text Rendering Reference System) into FUEL after the discussion. Now we would like to propose the change in Naming Convention for the project UTRRS and we seek suggestions for the same from all of you. We would like to request for the new ideas that how the current name of the project "UTRRS" can be change or will be replaced with and welcome all of your efforts on this task. The name 'UTRRS' is although accepted by everybody when it was developed and till today. Still, we would like to change it's pattern of naming convention and provide a nomenclature which suites its functionality more accurately in a rather simple manner which is more understandable and acceptable to the community with the nature of purpose this application serves. As a preface, we would like to share some facts like what exactly the UTRRS is, how does it work, what does it do, how it helps etc etc in a short summary : UTRRS stands for Unicode Text Rendering Reference System which is a concept of Testifying and Validating the rendering of any Grammatical Character or Composed Character in a comparison method with a Reference Character that is provided. The difference between the rendered character and the reference character is what the test result we can record with 'match' or 'mismatch'. Based on this concept, we have developed a tool which actually provides a platform or web interface to Validate the Character or Composed Character. As of now we have implemented it in 11 Indic Locales which are based on script based characters (like Devanagari or Dravidian). UTRRS is an web based tool developed with ruby on rails and with MySQL as a backend database server. It verifies the rendering of any fonts installed in your system as well as the rendering engine's (Pango, qt, icu, or harfbuzz or any other) performance in terms of forming the character shapes regardless of whether it is any base characters (Codepoint) or any composed character (GSUB or GPOS), platform independently. We have a certain set of plans for this project's further enhancement and this will come in the roadmap on the project page upon the completion of merging task, and we will seek contributions from all of you as a community effort in near future.

FUEL Numbers Module
by Sweta Kothari 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi, I Have prepared a module of numbers, https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/raw-attachment/wiki/fuel-terminology/fuel-num… This module consists of all the words related to Numbers. I have collected it from different sources. I hope this will work as a reference for the Numbers. I have tried to incorporate all the Cardinals, Ordinals, Multiplicatives and Fractions. I have a query about fractional parts of the hundreds, thousands that are expressed in our language like "sava-sau (125)" "dedh-sou (150)", etc..., How to incorporate these strings in English as source. I have not yet added these ones in this document. Suggestions are welcome! Thanks Sweta

FUEL GILT Conference 2013 - Call for Papers
by Rajesh Ranjan 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hi All, First of all I would like to thank the entire FUEL Project community for their greater contributions to the success of the initiative we started five years ago. With the help of community volunteers and organizations we have achieved remarkable milestones through our journey till date. Building the language standards in the open source and making it freely available in the open domain is one of our motto behind starting FUEL Project. Our objective is to establish a common and universal platform to support continued development and adherence of GILT standards by building the consensus for it's development, establishment and promotion with the help of community and organizations working towards the aim of democratization of content and wider awareness and acceptance of these standards. The FUEL GILT Conference 2013 is being organized by Red Hat and C-DAC GIST. In this conference we are gathering industry localization experts, linguists, internationalization engineers, testing professionals working towards language technologies. Participants would get a chance to network all the localization experts working in the industry as well as able to grab more opportunities available in this domain. There would be learning for the beginner localizers as well. Keeping these objectives in mind we have identified following tracks for the papers: 1. Globalization, Language and Translations (Something that showcase the importance of language, culture, it's role in the modern life, etc.) 2. Standards: Linguistic resource (work towards Terminology, Glossary, Dictionary, Style Guide, Unicode, CLDR, FUEL Modules, Script Grammar, etc would lead into this category of development.) 3. Tools & Technologies (An effort in the direction of development of translation management systems, Rendering Systems, Quality Assessment tools, Fonts, Input Methods, etc. would lead into this category.) 4. Localization in FOSS (The volunteer localization efforts in the FOSS world, how they contribute, what they contribute, etc would fall in this track.) 5. Open Track (Anything related to GILT and relevant matter could also be considered provided we get a space to allocate you a slot.) For more details about the conference, its venue, registration and paper submission please visit here: http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index Please feel free to write to us if you need any information regarding the conference. Thanks! -- Regards, Rajesh Ranjan *FUEL GILT Conference 2013* http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index

https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/fuel-artwork#FUELbyKomalAsmi This is what Komal Asmi, a doctor by vocation and an artist by avocation, imagined FUEL. She describes her work like this - "Chameleon as onlooker of evolution, the green of mother earth and the creepers as spread of knowledge or collaboration" - all are intertwined in great way in this painting. Thanks a ton Komal Asmi! Sorry for posting it late here on the list. -- Regards, Rajesh Ranjan *FUEL GILT Conference 2013* http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index

04 Jul '13

Hello Everyone, We have been thinking of doing monthly meetings in order to provide regular updates about what's happening around project, what are the plans we have, what could help us going further, as well as the ideas/suggestions/feedback we could get from the community keeping strong interest towards FUEL project, etc. This e-mail is to request you for providing your inputs on the $SUBJECT. Should we do it? Should we do it monthly or quarterly basis? Should we do it on hangout, or an irc or something else? Should we do it in India Time Zone (as most of the members are located in India) Or some other time? What could be an interesting agenda for the meetings? and anything else that you think is relevant? Thanks, Ankit Patel http://www.ankit644.com/ http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index
