Introduction of myself
by Maarten@posteo.de
Dear Madams and Sirs
I would like to become a Dutch translator for Fedora.
I have created an account with username 'minerva'. Minerva was the Roman
goddess of wisdom and tactical warfare, and the protectress of the arts,
the sciences and the crafts.
I am a Dutch national, male and 59 years old.
I have a scientific background in electronics, mathematics, computer
science, business administration and psychology.
My knowledge of languages covers Dutch, English, German, French and
Latin. In terms of the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages my respective levels are probably C2, C2, B2, A2 and A1.
For the translation of English in Dutch, I suppose that level 4 of the
Interagency Language Roundtable skill levels for translation applies to me.
I have some experience in translating for Debian as well as in reviewing
translations for Debian.
I have 12 years of experience in using Debian GNU/Linux. However, I have
only half a year of experience in using Fedora Linux.
Kind regards
Maarten

Hi, again,
today chat at Fedora Infra matrix room[1] about creating
bots brought me back to this topic. Should we apply the same
or similar policy[2] regarding Weblate if a user account
exist in Weblate 'just' to provide 'an automatic
process(es)'?
I think the transtats account would then qualify as such.
