Hello dear i18n contributors, In http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2005/12/msg00000.html, I suggested we attempt to organize a Debian i18n work session under the hat of the "Extremadura sessions" where the region of Extremadura, in Spain, offered hosting work sessions for specific projects in Debian.
A long thread followed where it quickly appeared that, yes, we can do something..:-) A more specific goal could be: -preliminary work on a common infrastructure (if possible with exchanges with Ubuntu contributors) -advance in the revival of the DDTP project (Debian packages Descriptions translation Project) This must remain a *work session* and not a mini conference about i18n in Debian. So, people attending need to come with specific projects and ideas in mind, one of these being the build of a real i18n community in Debian. The timeslot in September 2006 seems to fit most of the needs, so please consider that we will use that timeslot if we go with the meeting. In order to move on, I have setup a Wiki page on wiki.debian.org: http://wiki.debian.org/WorkSessionExtremadura2006i18n On that page, I recorded the names of: -people who already confirmed they would like to attend -people who are interested but aren't sure for various reasons -people I personnally intend to contact and/or feel would be Right People to have in such meeting I also added a mini agenda which we need to polish together so that we can provide the Extremadura people with information as detailed as possible. Please complete this page if you're listed on it, particularly with your e-mail addresses (mangled if you don't like addresses appearing on public sites), country of origin (ie the country *where you live*) and origin airport (ie the airport you would leave from if coming to Spain). For the country and airport, please use the official codes (ISO-3166 for country and IATA for airports) rather than common names. http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html http://www.photius.com/wfb2001/airport_codes_alpha.html People living outside Europe can list themselves too, but we will need to first check with the funding "resources" that funding their travel is possible. I may have forgotten people on that page. Please do not take this as a veto if you already mentioned you'd like to attend. Just add yourself. Again, this is an opened meeting. It is not "reserved" for official Debian Developer. It is intended for all people *who actually work for i18n/l10n in Debian and derivatives*. Don't be shy. For more specific details, feel free to contact me (I'd prefer in public and no by /msg) on IRC: irc.oftc.net, channel #debian-i18n -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
