Self-introduction: Léane (harmful-breeze)
by Léane GRASSER 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

Hi everyone! My name is Léane, I'm from France and I've been translating Fedora into French for a month or so. I'm really glad to be a part of this community, and I'm full of motivation! It's my first time contributing to such a large open-source project, and especially one that aims to push open source forward as a whole. I've started contributing to Fedora by translating systemd around a year ago, then I recently discovered that there were so many other projects hosted on the Weblate instance. I got kind of bored of translating UIs and programs, so I've started translating docs and improving the website's translation, wanting to give back to the open source community. My native language is French, I'm fluent in English, and I know a bit of Spanish, but probably not enough to start writing translations. I work on various other community translation projects, some proprietary (such as Waze) and some open-source (like the PS2 emulator PCSX2, the AUR helper yay, some Android apps such as Smartspacer, Gauguin, KernelSU, and various other smaller projects). I'm a language coordinator in some projects as well. I have not done translations in a professional context yet, but maybe in the not-so-distant future. I hope this introduction wasn't too long :) I have a few questions too: - Is there a list, somewhere, referencing the projects that deserve more attention/work? I have trouble identifying where I should really be spending time, and avoiding deprecated stuff. (I spent a lot of time on the system administrator's guide before finding out it was deprecated.) - Should "Fedora Project" be translated? Before finding about the French translation community, I started to replace most "projet Fedora" instances with "Fedora Project" as I incorrectly believed it was a trademark, but I was unable to find a clear stance from the project leadership on this matter. - I'm all for inclusive language, but it is not consensual yet in France and can take many different forms. Does the French localization community have a stance on this? Thank you in advance, and have a nice day! Léane GRASSER

Self-presentation Erick Salas - Spanish
by Erick Salas 29 May '24

29 May '24

I've been using Fedora for over a year and ever since it's been my main operating system and I'm satisfied to use it for my daily activies. I'm a Computer Systems Engineering student and I work in software development and I'm comfortable working in a Unix-like environment. I have several friends that would like to make a switch to a Linux distribution as well as to switch to more appropriate tools for work but sometimes they struggle with the language. I would like to contribute to make information more available for current users as well as to future newcomers. I would like to join the team, help them and suggest improvements. I already have signed the corresponding agreement as well as reaching out the guys at Fedora Localization and started checking out Weblate.

Self-Introduction: Claire Mateus, French
by Claire Mateus 21 May '24

21 May '24

Name: Claire M. Location: Germany Username: bumblebeeman Native Language: French/Spanish Profession: Software Developer Hey there! I'm Claire, and I discovered Fedora about a year ago when I needed to choose a Linux distribution for work. It was a bit challenging at first, coming from Windows Subsystem for Linux, but the performance boost I experienced in my daily tasks was truly remarkable. I initially studied filmmaking, but I made the switch to become a software developer a year ago. I can currently speak Spanish, French, and English fluently, and I'm currently learning German, so I hope I can put these skills to use for a great community. I'm really passionate about making information accessible to as many people as possible. I'm excited to start this project because I believe it's a fantastic way to share information and get more involved in the future. -- *Claire Mateus *| Software Developer

Contact / Mailing list for Korean translation team?
by Byoungchan Lee 18 May '24

18 May '24

Other than https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/ko page, I cannot find any contact information for the Korean translation team. I would like to join the team and help with the translation and suggest some improvements. Is there a mailing list or such for public communication?

Self-Introduction: Dennis Koerner (bumblebeeman), German
by Dennis Koerner 16 May '24

16 May '24

Name: Dennis Koerner Location: Germany Login: bumblebeeman Language: German Profession: Embedded Developer About You: Hi everyone :-), I'm Dennis. The first time I came across Fedora was about 12 years ago, when a good friend of mine showed me his installation. Back then I used Linux distributions mainly to play around with small home servers and such, but stupid me wasn't "brave enough" to daily drive the penguin on his main hardware. However, I fortunately took the change to migrate a few years ago after my previous OS crashed badly and settled on Fedora after my distro hopping phase. I have an IT background and I'm currently employed in the sw dev / sw testing sphere. But beyond that, I'm also passionate about creating and repairing stuff. Which is why I co-founded a Repair-Cafe and a FabLab in my hometown, including actively working in their management / steering committees at the time. Although I'm quite an introvert, I really like to talk to people about my "passion projects" (e.g. about our FabLab at Maker Faire) and doing other non-technical tasks. Speaking of repairability, I also like to hang around in the Framework Laptop community, discussing tech and helping others. You and the Fedora Project: I enjoy working on the german translations (dnf5 at the moment), and already have some smaller wiki gardening tasks on my personal todo list too. :-) But I'm concentrating on on-boarding myself to L10N, further familiarizing with the overall project (from a contribution perspective), and getting involved. So, let's see what the future holds. :-) Speaking of wiki gardening... are we still supposed to use the self-introduction template? ;-) Best regards, Dennis (he/his) GPG KEYID and fingerprint: pub rsa2048 2024-04-16 [expires: 2027-04-16] 32F3 9742 604F 2C62 5639 6E91 B0AC 3A87 8A2F B038 uid Dennis Koerner <dennis(a)bumblebeeman.dev> sub rsa2048 2024-04-16 [expires: 2027-04-16] keyid 8A2FB038

Hello, I'm Adaline!
by Adaline Simonian 01 May '24

01 May '24

Hello everyone It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Adaline and my pronouns are they/she in English, and hen/ho in Norwegian (hen/hun if you're writing in Bokmål). My native languages are US English, Russian, and Western Armenian, though I have largely forgotten Armenian as a result of not using it and my Russian is a tad rusty. I'm at a CEFR B2 level in Norwegian (according to my teachers, though I also have planned to take the national language test when I visit the country). I'm currently working on getting to a C-level. Nynorsk is the language I use day in and day out on my computer whenever an application supports it. I decided to take a stab at contributing to translations for Fedora since I primarily use Nynorsk on my machine, and that includes the Fedora installations I run. I'd like to increase the translation surface of the Nynorsk localization. While I have not been a contributor to Fedora before, I have been active in the OSS community broadly for a long time, off and on. I am a member of the Stylelint maintainer team, have several packages in the Node.js ecosystem that I maintain, and most recently have been behind Ordbok API ( ordbokapi.org) a public, free, and open source GraphQL API for data from the Norwegian dictionaries. I am also the developer and maintainer of the Discord bot powering language-related functions for the Norwegian Language Learning community (https://github.com/NLLCommunity) I am new to contributing translations and new to Weblate as well. I am most interested in contributing translations that appear most prominently in the desktop GUI experience on Workstation. However, admittedly, I may not know the best places to start. I've gone through the very helpful documentation for joining the internationalization effort, but admittedly it is also a lot of information to take in. If anyone has any pointers, I would be more than happy to hear them. :) My Fedora Account username is adaline, and I have signed the CLA. Mvh Adaline Simonian hen/ho

Yatta's introduction
by Yattatux 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

hello to the list. I'm Yattatux aka Alessandro and I've been using Fedora since 2012. I am a native Italian speaker and I know the English language. In my spare time I like to write (I write cyberpunk, weird and fantasy obviously in Italian language) and I use Fedora Workstation for all my workflows. I am very grateful to Fedora, the Fedora Project and the whole FLOSS world for the quality of its productions. So that's why I'd like to contribute. In the past I contributed as an editor and moderator in the Italian community of FedoraOnline.it headed by Robyduck, then the old team gave way to the new one and I left along with them... it happens. In the past I also wrote a short manual (in English language then edited and improved by a native English-speaking Fedora user) where I listed the installation of Fedora and useful software for the writer's activity (title of the book: Open Writing on Fedora 25). Currently I believe that contributing to translation is a good way to participate, a good way to bring those who do not understand English perfectly closer to reading the documentation. have a great day! See you soon. Yatta

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.
