[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear, crowdfunding and FreedomSponsors

[Tony França]

Hi all

I'd like to introduce FreedomSponsors to this list.

FS is a website I made where people can place small money bounties for
open issues on 
FlightGear

So far it's only got a few offers - but it's slowly growing and people seem
to get pretty interested.
I really think that as it gets more popular, this tool can have a big
positive impact on a lot of open source projects, especially popular ones
like FlightGear.

Please take a look -->
- http://www.freedomsponsors.org
- http://blog.freedomsponsors.org/about

There's also a JIRA plugin that will add a (discrete) "Sponsor this issue"
link on the "view issue" page, that will let the user add a sponsorship for
the issue on FS.
It's already being used by the Jenkins Project (see it in action here).
Similar functionality is also available for Github repository owners (see
http://blog.freedomsponsors.org/freedomsponsors-github-integration/)

The website is still beta, but functionality is pretty stable, and I'm
always adding new improvements and functionality (you can see waht I've
been up to in the blog).
FS is open source on Github (it's a Python+Django app), and feedback and
help is welcome! :-)

I really hope FlightGear can grow even better because of this initiative

Thanks!
Tony Lâmpada - the FreedomSponsors guy

Re: [Flightgear-devel] How to compile getstart latex source file?

[tong hui]

hi, Stuart

Thank you very much for Chinese translation.

And I had translated very little for early version of getstart, maybe
2.4.0. I have successful make it work. Here is what I have done:

Add some codes to getstart.tex:

at the top : \usepackage{CJKutf8}

add following codes at begin session, so that it could use Chinese Font.
%% For Chinese only, Font Song
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}

At the bottom:  \end{CJK}

And it work fine in version 2.4.0, but I have not make it work in 2.8.0. So
let's hack it together!

Well, it took more like a month rather than a week, but I've managed
to hack at least the ability to define a Chinese version of The
Manual.

There is now a getstart-zh.tex file which is used to generate this
version, and an example in title.tex of how this should be used.

The correct fix is to add some sort of Chinese character support to
the babel package, but that's way beyond my abilities.

Hi all,

http://pastie.org/5185371

That is a small fix for missing simgear/elements/element.hxx. It must
be applied on fgfs source.

No, he was there last year to promote his latest release, but I'm not 
aware that he attended this year.

(There were rumours someone had seen a "Curtis Olson" at the event, but 
that is yet another story...;-) ).

cheers,

... is already over now, unfortunately.

For those who couldn't attend but are interested in what it was like 
(make sure to join next year!), here are some photos showing the event 
and FlightGear booth:

More details are probably to follow (maybe Durk will explain how he 
managed to reserve the hall's huge main projection screen exclusively 
for FlightGear - and how a silly broomstick is connected... :-) ).

Thanks to every attending this year! Yet again, it's been a lot of fun :).

cheers,

Short reply since I'm at FSWeekend still - can reply in more detail tomorrow. 
The most likely answer is that the route-manager or GPS is not activated - 
activating GPS leg mode should set the route-manger mode automatically, I 
think. 

Once that's done, simply passing within 0.1 (IIRC) will sequence the next wp.
