Self Introduction: Joe "ascenseur" O'Dell
by Joe O'Dell
Hi,
I'm Joe O'Dell, and I go by the nick ascenseur on the FAS and on IRC. My wiki page is at [0]
I am currently in Bedford, UK (so it's a GMT timezone) and I'm a student.
As I'm still a student, (and under 18), I don't have a "proper" job. I do, however, make small websites and suchlike, which I stick info about on my site [1] - I also run a web blog where I review and post about eco-friendly stuff (mainly computers)[2].
I already contribute to the Fedora Project as an Ambassador, but also as part of the Free Media Group [3]. I have had previous experience at translating linux packages using Ubuntu's Launchpad system, where I gained ~1800 "karma points"; My personal translation page is viewable at [4].
I have actually been using Linux for a while, approximately 5 years; considering that I am only 14, it's quite a long while! Over that time period, I have had experience with Ubuntu, Windows (Server & Desktop), openSUSE and, quite heavily, Fedora. Although many people prefer to "jump ship", I have still stayed within the Ubuntu UK groups, as they give me a really good insight into what is happening with Linux in the UK, (the Fedora UK group has only recently started up).
I must admit, my programming skills are atrocious - Visual Basic is my absolute limit, and I can't even do that very well. However, I am considerably better at translation (& organisation, thank god!). Also, through the Ambassador group, I have ascertained some quite powerful "People Skills".
My GPG key ID is: 0x41BBF4C9
You may not need the 0x, but I get into a habit of adding it every time! It is published to as many keyservers as I could, just in case! It is tied to my email joseph.odell(a)googlemail.com.
I have set up a BugZilla account for my fedora email address (ascenseur(a)fedoraproject.org).
Thanks, and I can't wait to join you!

comps submission error
by Noriko Mizumoto
Hi,
While submitting, the error of "Sorry, your file could not be sent
because of an error." has been encountered. The last submission is "The
component master of the comps project has been changed by raven 6 days,
2 hours ago." This last entry would be some work for repo migration from
cvs to git. It seems no PO successful submission after this.
Any help?

Hindi and trasifex
by Suchakra
Hi,
I have begun translating the "fedora account systems" website in hindi
and downloaded the po file as required. I have made made some
translations using gTranslator and wish to upload the file to repo and
applied for a request on the page in front of "Become a translator" It
still shows "your request is pending for approval". btw i've not yet
been sponsored in l10n and my status for l10n shows unapproved.
Need help to get the job done asap.

Transifex 0.7.4 on line!
by Ruediger Landmann
Here's a huge thank-you to Ricky, Dmitris, and everyone else who has
helped to get Fedora's Transifex instance upgraded to version 0.7.4.
Amongst a whole host of new features is the one that the docs team and
localization team have been eagerly awaiting -- the ability to handle
multiple PO files per project! This means that Transifex can serve the
multiple PO files that make up documents build with Publican.
Docs writers, we now need to do one last split of the PO files, so that
all the work done by Fedora translators on the big, merged files is
carried across to the individual, Publican files. This should actually
take place in new branches of the git repository for each file. Please
co-ordinate with me on this -- I will email out detailed instructions
(and rationales) shortly.
Translators, we are temporarily disabling submissions to all docs
projects so that we can complete this work and make sure that you don't
lose any translated content that you have submitted. I will notify
trans-list again when this work is completed. We will also (finally) be
able to offer Publican's Common Content files to translators in a sane
way and not rely on emailing updates back-and-forth.
Submissions are temporarily closed for:
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Release Notes) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Deployment Guide) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Installation Quick Start Guide) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Readme) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: About Fedora) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: User Guide) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Virtualization Guide) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Readme Live Image) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Installation Guide) - True
Fedora 12 (Docs :: Readme Burning ISOs) - True
master (Docs :: Translation Quick Start Guide) - True
trunk (Docs :: SELinux User Guide) - True
trunk (Docs :: Security Guide) - True
Again, thanks to everyone who made this happen!
Cheers

Translate Beta Release Notes
by Noriko Mizumoto
Hi
I have had the chat with Rudi regarding the subject, to get the info of
it's progress. It seems that the wiki version is not yet complete thus
there is nothing in XML, meaning POT&POs to be empty even they are made atm.
Now this turned into the question which requires the attention from all
of us.
It is said from docs team that 'we never translate beta rel-note, and
this item should not have been on the L10N schedule. This did not happen
for F12 actually'.
Besides this item can be found in the schedule of F9 through F13.
Do we need this entry or not? If we need it why? If we don't need it
why? It would be needed to clarify the usefulness of this entry.
How you think?

True, many such legalese-texts do not have any legal status
or have been adopted in respective counties.
But sometimes we would like to add a localised comment
before such sections, e.g:
"The following text does only have a legal status in its
original language (see xxx.nn/license for more information)."
Or whatever, mileage may vary...
Best regards,

Yes, this is intentional. That is legal text, and cannot be translated
like the rest of the website (the translation might not end up
appropriate or binding).
