Hello! We've just published our first development release based on Debian Squeeze, it's already time to think of our first official release update! Work your translations and be ready for mid-September :). The past 12 days were really rich of announcements too: Salvatore and Xavier managed to make Wikipedia and the Belgian media speak of us, and our association DoudouLinux is now born. I'll tell you more about this association in a dedicated email.
All the best, JM. PS: if you think that I forgot to mention an important news, feel free to answer this mail with your scoop! Team ===== * Gaurav asked to join the team as a developer. After few mail exchanged, he's now looking at our development subjects to decide which one to start with. Welcome to our project! Organization =========== * Our association statutes have now been signed by Fayçal, Elisa, me and my father. The DoudouLinux association is thus already existing even if we don't have an official paper :). I created the sub-domain asso.doudoulinux.org to host the future website of the association. I also created a generic mail account <[email protected]>. I intend to add a Spip page about our association quite soon. * I redirected news about articles automatically created by Spip to our mailing list “docs”. If you've registered this list, you'll receive every notification about articles proposed for publication or published. * Mailing lists: please *register* to our sub-lists, I still find some of them quite empty. doudoulinux-dev → main list doudoulinux-docs → website translation doudoulinux-lang → CD translation (Transifex and more) doudoulinux-graphics → graphic design doudoulinux-forum → user's list * Redmine: there are still tickets to be moved from our former project management software Gna. Please move the tickets you're owning, unless their history is huge. Translations ============ If you want to be ready for the first Gondwana update, please fill in your translations for mid-September! * Many translations were submitted on Transifex for Danish (Joe), Malay (Puretech), Persian (Nava), Portuguese (Tiagom) and Romanian (Marian). * Praveen announced that he has completed CD translation into Telugu [1]. Congratulations for this huge work, a part of Indian children will then have their DoudouLinux for next update :). He's now starting to translate the website. * We now have 10 languages with a score above 95% translated, 14 above 90% [2]. * Several resources on Transifex were updated to solve an issue [3]: resources may show less that 100% translated even when all messages are translated! As a result, languages that were previously at 100% may now be below, because these updates introduced new messages. I think the concerned resources needed updating but I forgot to do it :(.

It is available in English, French, Russian and Spanish only. This is an important step in our move to Squeeze and our port to ARM processors. * I started to work on Gondwana update 1 :). CD's will be built between the 15th and the 20th September [5].

Website ======= * I changed robot indexation policy on our web server in order to avoid to have Spip pages better ranked than our official website http://www.doudoulinux.org/web/ [6]. Wait and see if this has the expected effect. * New English articles, for the new release 2011-08: “The development version, shortly”, “New applications” [7]. There is also a new section for these articles (“Development version”) and I had to change our download page a bit [8]. * New Italian articles thanks to Salvatore: “Creare una chiave USB Doudoulinux”, “Le origini di DoudouLinux”, “La versione di sviluppo, in breve”. * New German articles thanks to Sergey: “Struktur des Inhalts”, “Übersetzung der Webseite in eine andere Sprache”. * We still need a news to announce Malay, German, Telugu and Latvian translations. * We should also announce that our project is now working within Debian, plus the development release and Gondwana update to come. Where are the volunteers? :) [6] https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-docs/2011-08/msg00008.html [7] https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-docs/2011-09/msg00000.html [8] https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-docs/2011-09/msg00002.html Communication ============= * DDL on Wikipedia: Salvatore wrote a very good synthesis of our project on the Italian Wikipedia [9]. You are all invited to start thinking of a translation in your language [10]. NB: I checked the history of the page and it seems nobody found anything too promotional in this article to be published in the encyclopedia :). * Xavier will show DoudouLinux at 2 free software events in Belgium [11]. He also informed us that DDL will be on the Belgian radio and papers [12]. Congratulations for all these communication successes!
