Hello Everyone! Yesterday we had a good boot camp at IICT, BUET. There were 18 participants including the organizers. (The number was to be around 30 but some guys couldn't join us because of heavy rain). In the camp we worked on Open Office.org localization. The program started at 10:00 am. First Jamil Ahmed and Mahay Alam Khan showed the participants how to use localization tool (we used pootle there). Then translation started. Around 2000 strings were transleted in few hours. The camp ended at 5:00 pm with a discussion session. It was co-ordinated by Munir Hasan (from BdOSN). Here is a summary of the discussion:
1. So far the output of the camp is satisfactory. The efficiency will be increased in future. 2. All participants will work for making at least one volunteer for the next camp. 3. We will try to get a real Pootle server online so that the localizers can work at their own time. 4. We need to do something to make Linux based CD available in the country. One probable channel may be the OSN's in different universities. 5. The Glossary already prepared should be finalized and uploaded by next 2 weeks. 6. Students from SUST were present. (5 came from Sylhet!!) 7. For general Bangla localization purpose we created a yahoo group at, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bangla_l10n/ And the last thing is we had great fun in the camp! PS. Thanks to Subeen for drafting this mail. :) Best, `Jamil _______________________________________________ Bengalinux-core mailing list Bengalinux-core@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bengalinux-core
