colleague, we are with you, doing the process, the reverse of
"globalization" - we "divide" community. you pay attention to the line
that I brought? in them the designation of time is indicated in various
languages.

I'm a little studied the Korean language, and I understand that you and
the Koreans and the Chinese use the same characters, right? not many
people who know only their own "local" language will be able to
understand what time really given in Japanese, ie, which a hieroglyphs
refers to a month, and which character represents the day. Russian and
Ukrainian languages have Slavic roots, but if I'm not having a clue I
can not remember how in Ukrainian called months of the year.
in fact, only using "only" the English language, we can "globalize"
materials. naturally it involves the study of the English language at
the state level. then our friend pravin.d.s can confirm my words. if I
am not mistaken, he is from India? where English is the official
language. Here is an example of genuine globalization - erasing local
differences and universal means of communication.
I still can not understand what you are doing, calling your activities
"globalization" but in reality you are in "localization", that is,
doing
the reverse process.
Yes, I knew someone might poke it, but dare to do it. I said FEEL
FREE
TO EDIT OR DELETE ANY PART. I meant to encourage people who do not like
the word 'globalization' to remove it from the slides. I still believe
it is useful regardless with or without that word. If you don't like
this slide entirely, please simply ignore it.
It is not that, whether I personally like something or dislike. I try to
clarify the situation, including for himself, and perhaps warn against
making efforts in the wrong direction.
unless it is your real purpose, cause confusion and take advantage of
financial support from redhat
currently you, including others who use the word "globalization" but
does not define this notion, as I understand it, are going to create
"another steering committee" which, supposedly, will integrate and
manage the activities of other projects of localization and
internationalization.
but "globalization" if you mean the natural meaning of the term is not
in need of "localization" and "internationalization". it is on the
contrary, has the opposite goal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization
but if you mean "global distribution" it is the result of the processes
the "localization" and "internationalization" and it can not control
them. This so obviously, in my opinion.
I am really sad with tears now. I (and my colleagues) spent lots of
time
for this slide. I never force anyone to use, but upload it with a hope
if someone likes it.
I see no reason to translate a business conversation in the realm of
emotions, if you have something to argue, or to clarify the situation,
please do not hesitate. but I ask not to play the show here.
of course I'm also interested in the spread fedora, and of course, take
advantage of your achievements, as well. And of course, just like you, I
will give my ones to fedora community, but I again warn you against
making efforts in the wrong direction.
