Finishing F10 Docs & Translation schedules
by John Poelstra
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you all. I was hoping we
could do this real time, but I guess that isn't going to work out for
now. Maybe we can meet at FUDCon to make sure the Fedora 11 schedule is
setup correctly from the start?
I built a special report that combines the docs and translation tasks
into one schedule if that is more helpful to look at.
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-docs-and-trans-tasks...
The other schedules are in their regular places using the header
navigation here:
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-all-tasks.html
Here are the questions and things I am still not clear on.
1) For schedule tracking purposes the primary work products, what work
products are {created by the docs team && translated by the translation
team}:
a) fedora-release-notes.rpm (ALL files inside)
b) Installation guide
c) ????
--I guess the pattern I'm seeing in the schedule we have so far is that
we don't have consistent tasks (or they aren't labeled correctly) for
each work product (e.g. create content, review content, freeze, generate
pot, translate, translation deadline, publish content, etc.)
2) Other questions referring to the indexes or task numbers here:
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-docs-and-trans-tasks...
a) What is the deadline for translating the releases notes (26)? Four
days seems too short.
b) The release notes string freeze did not take place until Oct 17,
correct? (25) How does this affect the time needed to translate?
c) I thought I saw on docs-list that someone said more time needs to be
scheduled for creating the POT file for release notes (24)? How many
days should it be?
d) There is a string freeze for the Install Guide (31)
i) when is the POT created?
ii) how long is the translation period? take to translated?
e) What are tasks (35) to (38)? "web site" is vague.
Thanks,
John

Self-Introduction: Christopher Grebs
by Christopher Grebs
Hey there, my name is Christopher Grebs, I'm from Berlin, Germany and I'm 18
years old.
I just joined the german translation team to help translating fedora into my
mother tongue. I'm not full approved at all but I think It just takes some
time to get so.
*About me*
Well, I'm on an apprenticeship to a IT electronics technician, doing
community work is one of my favorite jobs and I'm doing a lot of things
there.
Worth mentioning skills and interests are these:
* quite good Python and C# (Mono) knowledge
* A lot of community work for the german ubuntu-community
--> I'm member of the german ubuntuusers.de webteam (there I'm mostly
responsible for the new portal system Inyoka)
--> I just held one presentation on the latest german ubuntu conference
But ... enough with my ubuntu work, I wanna help my favorite linux
distribution and as such, here I am :-)
*Me and the Fedora Project*
Fedora was the first distribution that showed my how cool Linux is (this was
around the year 2005) and after some experiments with a lot of other distris
I fall back in love with Fedora (as of Fedora 7). I just installed Fedora as
a project at a school (about 30 clients) and I'm doing some some marketing
work in my private environment.

KiB, MiB etc
by Runa Bhattacharjee
Hi,
The Fedora Documentation has references to the following unit of measurements which are different
from the more common Kilo(bit/byte), Mega(bit/byte) etc., depending upon context.
Kib = Kibibit [1]
KiB = Kibibyte
Mib = Mebibit
MiB = Mebibyte
etc.
since this was something new for me, I thought I'd like to pass on the message in case there are
more people writing the full forms of these acronyms. Please do note the differing usage of
capitalizations.
hth
regards
Runa

Unclear instruction in F10 Release-Notes
by Kiyoto James Hashida
Hi, Guys,
I have come across with one passage that is not
clear of its intention. It is the part #: en_US/Fedora_Project.xml:56(para)
Kbabel entry #722 as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In order to talk on the <computeroutput>#fedora</computeroutput> channel,
you need to register your nickname, or <firstterm>nick</firstterm>.
Instructions are given when you <userinput>/join</userinput> the channel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nick name should be prepared already before you use the Xchat to join
any channel.
And the instruction which appears when one joins #fedora is not
explaining anything
about nickname: See below
------------------------------------------------------------------
-ChanServ- [#fedora] "Any advice you read here is provided by individual
community members. You should use it at your OWN RISK. This advice is
owned by each individual, and does NOT represent the views of Freenode,
Fedora or Red Hat"
------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't really want to translate as it says.
Shouldn't it be re-written somehow ?
Thanks for your attention,
James

The Doc Team is working in git. I would suggest to place the TQSG in a
git repository like the other docs (release notes, install guide) just
to be consistent.

BTW, I know that you like hg the most, Dimitris

Introducing myself
by Rui Gouveia
Hi,
I'm a Portuguese sysadmin with some interest in programming and in
GNU/Linux, of course. I started using Linux in faculty and never stopped
since then. My first distro was Slackware, then Red Hat 7, and I never
changed from a Red Hat based distro again. I'm with Fedora since the
Core 1 release. What a great ride this project is.
I've subscribed to this list in November 2007, so I could learn. And
now, I think I can contribute! You will judge.
I'm starting with translations. The language I'm will translate to is
Portuguese.
Thanks for you time
