Hi list, It's clear to me that most readers of this list have no problem with an English version of OSGeo LiveDVD. But our target users - usually FOSS4G and Ubuntu newbies -, who are not native English speakers and often have keyboards other than US layout, often run into troubles without even starting the first application. This is my personal experience with a few workshops in Japan, where I made use of the last year's LiveDVD.
I'm planning to use the LiveDVD again for FOSS4G Tokyo/Japan in November and will also attend Intergeo in Germany in October, where the LiveDVD will be presented as well (right, Astrid?). I would like to build localized versions for those conferences, at least for the Japanese ones, and I wanted to ask if anyone else would be interested. I think a localized LiveDVD should have: - country specific locale, keyboard and time settings - translated LiveDVD documentation and welcome message - translated menu and shortcut titles (if not too difficult) - translated DVD cover/booklet with first instructions We could organize a BoF ( http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2010_Breakout_Sessions) and/or code sprint session (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2010_Code_Sprint) at FOSS4G. Anyone interested? Daniel -- Georepublic UG & Georepublic Japan eMail: [email protected] Web: http://georepublic.de
