Hello All, Several months ago I asked a question on this list related to the membership list review that was ongoing.
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2017-June/019832.html I'd like to repeat the question as I got no answer on the "Verified Sugar Labs member's list" thread that was started by Laura Vargas. Has anyone involved in the election / membership list generation ever reached out to the Sugar Labs Localization Community about registering for the Sugar Labs membership that their contributions have earned them? It is a simple fact that most localizers are not as tightly attached to software projects and their ongoing discussions as developers and other contributors, but that is because they are often working across many projects in support of their language. Their contributions are nonetheless essential and should be properly valued. Now that we have additional members on the membership and elections committees, I would like to request that proper outreach be made to our localizers via the communication channel where they can usually be found: http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization We have had incredible contributions made in the realm of translations in the past year alone, and it would be a gross inequality if they were not attempts to engage these community members who contribute so much. Below is just a sampling with Pootle usernames and recent submissions listed by language (and only those over 100 submissions). Very few of these names are on the membership lists I have seen. We can do better with outreach to active community members than that. *Acholi* chanchumgpa 6475 Olot 5861 denish 857 LostInMorvan 362 *Afrikaans* OdettePretorius 532 *Albanian* Besnik_b 1037 *Amharic* dbekele 577 *Aragonese* juanpabl 414 *Armenian* Jasmine 866 *Catalan* rbuj 7472 *Chinese (China)* Jason 395 joyhe 119 *Chinese (Taiwan)* YuanChao 393 *Croatian* boput 496 *Czech* pbo 304 *Danish* dark159123 804 *Dutch* whe 3380 *French* LostInMorvan 3223 StephaneDT22 666 krhome 165 *Galician* mbouzada 710 saravpaz 379 *German* thoraki 631 mschlager 543 Pinkbluesoul 142 estherw 140 *Guaranà (Paraguay)* MartÃnOesterreich 21098 *Hebrew* Yaron 2761 *Hindi* iamutkarshtiwari 1107 Manas 516 GeekyShiva 179 yatinmaan 148 *Hungarian* ursus 488 *Icelandic* sveinki 147 *Igbo* chimosky 1250 samsongoddy 768 cblinks 541 thebank 389 *Indonesian* andika 3737 *Italian* carlo 825 eliassecchi 174 andretna 137 *Japanese* sujiniku 182 *Korean* mimibg 510 *Lithuanian* Moo 1645 *Malagasy* Riella 114 *Malay* ariessa 995 *Malayalam* lanevo 839 *Mongolian* Bulgantamir 216 anderson861 195 *Nepali* buddhi.raj 437 *Persian (Farsi)* Soori 1676 makba2 1211 Florence 842 Parmis 187 *Polish* ty221 1685 *Portuguese* unkuiri 1543 *Portuguese (Brasil)* mariana.dias 1012 betoraposa 677 joaoeliakin 638 fusiondevices 310 fefcas 228 *Romanian* sandraelazar 844 *Russian* rootacat 2305 Arcueid 1052 *Slovak* jana 1998 *Songhai Languages* songhay 2374 *Spanish* AlanJAS 1838 tch 530 godiard 216 german 132 *Swedish* ajonsson 8476 *Telegu* GeeKrypter 177 *Ukranian* lxlalexlxl 1670 yurchor 1222 cyper 169 *Vietnamese* thuyn 720
