Hi!
It appears that Marko's message from yesterday did not get through to this
list. At least I don't see it in the archives:

Subject: Changes in Finnish native-lang team leadership
Date: Monday 05 July 2010, 14:07:13
From: Marko Grönroos <m...@iki.fi>
To: dev@native-lang.openoffice.org
CC: Harri Pitkänen <hatap...@iki.fi>, "Risto J." <risto....@jippii.fi>
I have been much too busy with my day job in the last few years and
haven't had as much time to work on the Finnish native-lang team as I
would have liked to. Also Asmo Koskinen has been busy with work for a
longer time.
After discussions on the d...@fi.openoffice.org mailing list and some
personal communications, a decision was made to pass the leadership to
the two members of the team who have been most active in the recent years:
New lead: Harri Pitkänen
(hatapitk at openoffice.org or hatapitk at iki.fi)
New co-lead: Risto I. Jääskeläinen
(ristoi at openoffice.org or risto.i.j at jippii.fi)
Harri has been most active in updating the translations and maintaining
the web site in the last few years, and has also developed the Finnish
spelling and hyphenation extension Voikko.
Risto has done a lot of translations, especially of the help functionality.
We made a call for new leaders already in last year, but no candidates
stood up and Harri was also busy at the time.
-----------------------------------------
I'd like to thank Marko and Asmo for their past work in Finnish native-lang
team and hope that they will be able to participate in the future too. As
Marko wrote above, I have been coordinating the translation process for
Finnish during the past few years. We have been able to maintain nearly 100 %
complete UI translation for quite a while (from 2.0.1 onwards if I recall
correctly). Thanks to Risto, our new co-lead, we got complete help translation
for 3.2.
Unfortunately we have not been able to make regular releases which has often
forced Finnish users to resort to using release candidates for extended
periods of time. As the new project lead my first priority will be to have
3.2.1 officially released for Finnish as soon as possible and then work
towards ensuring that we will be able to continue making timely releases in
the future.
Harri
