Hi all, This is a mail for updating you on the status of the Galician Language Team.
Early at 2005 Galician Government decided to support the Galician language translation efforts -providing things like money, servers, financing community events, directly hiring people or contracting companies for specialized linguistical services, among others. It was nice and thanks to this support we accomplished a lot of goals. One of them was producing a full translated multimedia free desktop -where Mozilla was the chosen project to provide the networking suite. I was coordinating those efforts. Unfortunately things changed a lot during this year. Financing was cancelled and people started to be fired without replacement. In my case all provided resources were suddenly closed off including phone, mail address and the like -just before EU MozCamp, preventing me to assist. All the people still working has no other oficial foresight than beeing fired on 2009 12 31 -beeing this the case of both Antón and Javier, who were helping me with translations. At that same date the servers maintenance and power supply contracts are expected to end auch. Even when this was previously stated [1]: my commitment with open source and galician language started before than beeing hired so it will not end just by beeing fired. What means: my commitment with the Mozilla project remains unchanged. I don't know which is the exact situation of the other team members of the galician team, so I will contact them next to proceed according to their own position/ preferences. Now I'm progressively recovering my previous connectability, updating myself about project's status as well as updating other people about the situation. So, as a necessary step, I'd like to ask you to please forward this info wherever it needs to be forwarded, and also to please update your own addressbook replacing any other mail address with the current one: suso.baleato en gmail.com For sure I missed a lot of mail and perhaps some alerts during last weeks so please don't hesitate to contact me related to that and I'll do my best. Even when news are not exactly the kind of the very nice ones, I see this situation as a good chance to boost the strenght of the galician language translation community. I will be contributing with that objective in mind. Best regards, [1] http://listas.mancomun.org/pipermail/g11n/2009-July/002319.html -- http://susinho.pagina.de/
