Hello! This week we had requests for starting 3 new languages: Latvian, Lithuanian and Norwegian. We also started to discuss on the Debian derivatives mailing list and had DoudouLinux added to the official derivatives. Finally the logo and mascot contest is definitively closed: the winner is Gnokii.
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 ===== * 7 new contributors proposed to help the project for translations: - Mantas Kriaučiūnas asked to start Lithuanian on Transifex - Helijs asked to start Latvian on Transifex - Arvis Lācis, Lafriks, Usinss and Stendec asked to join the Latvian team - Dᴀᴠıᴅ ᴊᴀᴍıssᴇᴎ (Bomullsauen) asked to start Norwegian on Transifex Some of them are already at work: welcome to our project! Our project is about to have started 10 new languages since the latest release Gondwana in mid June: Czech, Danish, German, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Portuguese (Pt ad Br), Telugu. We should then officially support at least 25 languages for the coming Gondwana update, quite a bunch :). Organization =========== * We are now officially listed as a Debian Derivative (see http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census). This is the result of discussions that started in June with Paul Wise from Debian. We are also officially proposed to revive the orphaned Debian Jr. project (see thread http://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives/2011/07/msg00018.html). We will then work during the coming months to adapt our code to ease its integration into Debian. The idea is to make Debian Jr. kind of code base for DDL. I believe this is a new important step in the growth of our project :). * Mailing lists: please *register* to our sub-lists as soon as possible so that we can switch the traffic to these dedicated lists :). I don't send mails to the dev list anymore if they are targeting another list and I invite you to do the same! * Redmine: there are still tickets to be moved from our former project management software Gna. Please move the tickets you're owning, unless they're history is huge. Translations ============ * Translations were submitted on Transifex for Italian, Latvian, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese (Lorenzo, Helijs, Lafriks, Filar, Brunox69). * Joe discussed with the Transifex folks to have a bug fixed. Some commented strings are considered as requiring translation (see http://trac.transifex.org/ticket/769). I understood it is now fixed but I still need to update several resources to make translation status correct for all resources/languages. CDROM ====== * Gérald and I started to discuss about the better way to make the DDL port to ARM. Graphics ======== * OCAL contest: the final vote has been published. Gnokii is the winner for both logo and mascot (see https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/2011-07/msg00027.html). Website ======= We should reach 100,000 visitors this week-end :). * New Italian articles thanks to Salvatore: “Suggerimenti e trucchi”. * We need a news to announce Malay, German, Telugu and Latvian translations. Communication ============= * Several publications lead to an increased number of visitors: - http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/07/teaching-your-child-some-linux-try.html - http://www.open-news.lv/6985-doudoulinux-lokalizesana-latviskosana - http://www.taringa.net/posts/linux/11843109/DoudouLinux_-distro-para-los-mas-pequenos-de-la-casa.html Plus many Russian articles. Support ======= * We received a bug report concerning video failing to get configured on recent hardware (see https://gna.org/support/?2774). A fix is on the road. _______________________________________________ Doudoulinux-docs mailing list Doudoulinux-docs@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-docs
