Translation of an entry "About this Computer" !
by Ankit Patel
Hi everyone,
The "About this Computer" item was added to the System menu in Rawhide
on March 8. It's provided by about-this-desktop.desktop, in the
gnome-system-monitor package. As it wasn't added in any of the PO files
and it needs to be localized, developer of this package has provided a
facility to translate this message into the local language directly on
the web page.
Screenshot of the untranslated message taken from Punjabi desktop:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=302840
*Here is the URL where you can put your translations*:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WillWoods/AboutThisComputer
- When you visit this URL, you can find it already translated into some
languages. If you find it's not translated into your language, you can
add your translation.
- We need to translate two things, Name and Comment both.
- Make sure you put your translations in "Name[de]=Über diesen Computer"
and "Comment[de]=Erhalten Sie Basis-Informationen über dieses System"
format, where you have to replace the language code [de] with your
[/langcode/]
Reference bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437997
Last date for finishing this task is 22nd of April.
Let me know if you have any queries!

TranslationQuickStartGuide - Chapter 2 Accounts and Subscription
by Noriko Mizumoto
Hi
As I may not make a clear statement before regarding TQSG but assumed
that we all understand same level. So here is what is happening just in
case for whom not aware of.
Thanks to many of you who have filed bugs, since new FAS2 introduced, we
have identified that the above chapter contains old information which
are no longer relevant (e.g. submitting SSH key & GPG key ID, creating
new Fedora account, signing CLA, joining cvsl10n group etc.). Currently
the guide is under reviewing and soon it will be updated (looking at
same timing of FC9 final).
For existing translators, only you have to do is to change your password
as you have automatically been transfered, AFAIK.
Any question, feel free to drop by #fedora-l10n channel.
cheers

FLP Meeting 2008-04-15 IRC Log
by Dimitris Glezos
* glezos has changed the topic to: Fedora Localization Group meeting
-- Agenda: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Meetings#agenda -- Init
* MrTom (n=mrtom@fedora/MrTom) has joined #fedora-meeting
glezos right on, who is around?
petreu PeterReuschlein (de)
* wolfy (n=lonewolf@fedora/wolfy) has left #fedora-meeting ("I'm
willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from
them.")
MrTom ThomasCanniot
glezos Dimitris Glezos (el)
AndreasR AndreasRau
vpv Ville-Pekka Vainio (fi)
glezos marek, are you around?
glezos Okey, let's get started, and others might join in
glezos We haven't prepared an agenda for this meeting
glezos Here's an action list from the previous one:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2008-April/msg00018.html
marek MrTom: yes
marek eerk
glezos I'm a bit confused whether they were done.
marek glezos: yes
* marek Marek Mahut (sk)
glezos At least the first 3 were done, if I understand them correctly.
glezos runa isn't around for the 4th.
glezos The major topic is FLSCo elections I guess.
MrTom ping Bousk1
* AndreasR has quit ("Ex-Chat")
glezos Nomination period is still on, and we've got 10 canditates,
which is a very good number for 7 slots.
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/SteeringCommittee/Nominations/2008)
glezos I'm *extremely* glad that most of the active people in FLP have
stepped up.
MrTom a French will *normaly* join them
glezos MrTom: awesome.
glezos This is probably a good moment to remind something we probably
already know, that while an FLSCo is important for a variety of
reasons (mainly democracy, a good decision-making process, and a
stronger FLP presence)...
glezos the people who won't make it in FLSCo should definitely
continue being active and keep doing what they're already doing great.
MrTom don't worry for this :)
glezos MrTom: I'd just like to make that crystal clear. Being a member
of FLSCo means you have the community's stamp of approval, but not
being one does not mean the opposite.
MrTom yes
glezos Just to clear out any doubts or misunderstandings, all
discussions will still go on in public, and a different mailing list
will not be made.
glezos :)
* viking-ice has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
glezos So, we had some problems with the voting system, so Infra has
asked some more days to set it up
glezos If nothing goes wrong, elections start 22/4.
glezos and that's all I have to say about that. :)
glezos comments, etc/
glezos okey. A quick reminder that today is the deadline for F9
relnotes translations.
glezos An update that a hungarian team is being created.
glezos .bug 440372
buggbot Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=440372

* glezos has changed the topic to: Fedora Localization Group meeting
-- Agenda: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Meetings#agenda -- Open
floor
glezos So, these are the topics that came to my head.
vpv do you know anything about the status of the GSoC applications for
L10n stuff?
glezos vpv: yes.
glezos We've had 7 applications for Transifex and L10n in general
* abadger1999 has quit ("Leaving.")
glezos 5 of them made it to the top 20 (out of ~70)
glezos and so far 4 of those are in the number of estimated slots to
be given to Fedora
glezos oops, that's 3.
glezos This might change, but it seems that the 2 of those will most
likely be accepted.
glezos I hope the third one will also make it, because it'll have
immediate use in FLP.
marek nice
vpv That sounds good, considering there are a lot of other
sub-projects in Fedora as well
* glezos hints that one of those 3 is a guy of our own. :-)
* kital (n=Joerg_Si@fedora/kital) has joined #fedora-meeting
glezos okey, anything else?
glezos any action items we should write down for next 2 weeks?
glezos I'll make sure the voting system is up in time and tested.
vpv should the FLSCo elections be over in two weeks?
glezos vpv: yeah, election period is now 22-29
marek glezos: is it one vote per person (to one person)?
glezos marek: 7 votes, one per person.
* linuxlala (n=linuxlal(a)122.162.116.154) has joined #fedora-meeting
* linuxlala has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
marek glezos: ok
marek we should also think for some marketing for voting
glezos well, this is something we could change of course..
marek (announces etc...)
glezos The current voting system gives each voter as many votes as
there are open seats. They may vote for each candidate only one time,
and can use as many or few of their votes as they wish.
glezos (quoting http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/SteeringCommittee/Elections)
glezos marek: right, let's raise some noise on Tuesday.
marek ok
glezos Anything else before closing..
* aggelidis (n=transife(a)88.218.50.199) has joined #fedora-meeting
marek nothing for me
glezos Closing in 30.
glezos </meeting>
glezos thanks folks.

Transifex - Authentication/Permission Layer (SoC 2008)
by Vasand
Hi! My name is Vasilis Kalintiris and I live in Greece. I'd like to
contribute to the Fedora Project not only by translating
PO-files from English to Greek, but also by developing an
authentication/permission layer for Transifex.
This is a project mentioned as an idea for the Transifex Project in the
Summer of Code (SoC) 2008. In this e-mail I include the
abstract from my SoC application. It's a little bit general so if you
want more information or if you have any question please let
me know. Also, if you have ideas or proposals for the project don't
hesitate to contact me 8-) !
*
ABSTRACT*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most open source softwares (OOSs) are developed in a public,
collaborative manner. In order to make this collaboration
both creative and applicable to the needs of the OOS, Revision Control
Systems (RCSs) are employed. Concurrent Version Systems (CVSs)
and Subversion (svn) are examples of tools that help centrally manage
the source code files and the changes to those files for a software project.
In real life, there's the need to categorize the users or the
groups that have access to project's resources. In Fedora Project for
example there are
many developers, administrators, languages leaders, translators,
anonymous users and so on. These people or teams contribute to the
development
of the project and need access to specific resources. Each user or team
is given specific privileges usually based on the status of the project
and the role that they have.
A new project named Transifex has been developed in the previous
summer during the Google Summer of Code program. It's a very promising
project
that provides the user a Web UI with which he can access a software's
project resources without caring about the underlying implementation of
project's RCS and it's interface. This way the user has to learn only
the Transifex and not the specific RCS that the project uses and can involve
in many different projects as long as they use Transifex.
My goal is to contribute to the Transifex project by adding a
permission and authorization layer.
This enhancement will solve all these problems that I explained
before. The development of a software project will be secure, stable and
above
all productivity will be maximized. Maintainers won't care about users'
or teams' mistakes like overwriting files that aren't responsible for.
Moreover, transition to different phases of software project
development will be easier and seamless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra features like OpenID support and Vertimus interoperateability
(that's a long word!!!) are furthermore goals of the project.
