Hello! This week we were about to release intermediary updates for 8 languages. However a bug found on the Italian version made this impossible before tomorrow… So wait a little more! On the other hand there are also plenty good news with new contributors, potentially a new language to be started, an enthusiastic discussion about our future logo, the planning of our next release, etc.
Cheers, JM. PS: if you feel that I forgot to mention an important news, feel free to answer this mail with your scoop! Team ===== * We welcomed a new Chinese contributor on Transifex: Destine. * We welcomed a new Polish contributor on Transifex: Filar. I also discussed a bit with him on our IRC channel. * I also received a mail asking to have a first build in Hebrew to evaluate the translation effort. The build is online in our dailybuild section (http://download.doudoulinux.org/dailybuild/). Welcome to our project! Organization =========== * A fresh mail should be in your boxes about the planning up to our next release in late May. Volunteers needed! * The private page “Find new translators” now has many contact emails of translators. Translations =========== * Mmm, didn't have time to look at them, sorry… CDROM ======= * A bug prevented the Italian updated CD to boot correctly. * Tests have been conducted without success for the current DDL based on Debian Lenny to have a single file for both CD and USB (“isohybrid”). We'll have to wait for DDL to be ported to Debian Squeeze to have this feature and cut our server storage by 2 (it is also simpler for users!). Graphics ======== * Elisa launched the idea to renew our logo (see message https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-04/msg00025.html). Not that it was old ;), but this was a temporary logo while waiting for having an official one. She showed us her first attempt and Boobaloo proposed the great idea to have a logo contest at the OpenClipart community (OCAL – http://openclipart.org/). Nava also have ideas of design, so things look to be promising :). * To start the logo contest, Boobaloo will contact the people he knows at OCAL. As he needs a document to tell what we need (guidelines), Elisa started to draw a wireframe of our future website. Everybody on the list is welcome to comment and suggest when we'll know more. Website ======= * The Chinese translation of “DoudouLinux, the computer they prefer” has been published. * The page “Why should I try DDL?” and some translations have been published. * The pages “Contact us” and “Team and contributors” have been updated. * News were published to announce the OIN agreement and the Persian translation. * We still have to write a news to tell that the migration to Squeeze is on the road and that intermediary updates are (will be) available… Communication ============= * Richard is still writing his presentation of DDL for the Maracaibo FLISOL event on 9-April (see http://flisol.org.ve/). Support ======= * Richard is asking for a standard installation process of DDL. A ticket has been opened (see https://gna.org/task/?7372). _______________________________________________ Doudoulinux-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-dev
